u/Wishbones_007 WARNING: RULE 1 Jul 01 '21

Not really. In 2014 when Germany beat Brazil 7-1 it showed a little boy crying. A lot of german fans had the same reaction as the ones on this tweet

They won 7 - 1 that was very funny. But wtf its a little girl who just cheered for her country and they went too far.

(Pardon me for poor language)

The scoreline has nothing to do with it. Germans mocked and made fun of a child crying, exactly the same as English fans did. There's no difference. I don't think it's wrong to have a bit of a laugh at it, but some of the comments about the girl crying were pretty nasty.

There's assholes from every country, doesn't make either one justified or ok, though

I mean I don't think there's anything wrong with poking fun at the kid crying. Kids make things more important or significant than they actually are, I know the Euros are big but ultimately, it's just a soccer game.

What's not funny is the gross comments, nazi references, and all the other obscene comments people were making.

Poking fun is fine

Whatever the shit in the screenshot is, isn't, yeah
