It becomes pretty obvious when you think about what Southgate said he was doing and what he ended up doing.
He used all 3 substitutions to get rid of the field of 3 experienced white players and made enter 3 black literal whos
On the penalties, he made the 2 white strikers go first, and the 3 black substitutes after them, when everyone knows that in penalties shootouts, the last 3 matter the most
It's obvious that he wanted to get the effect of "the 3 BLACK lads brought it home! Diversity is our strength! We wouldn't have won without these 3 Lions!"
However, he got the opposite effect. Kane and Maguire, the 2 white players scored and the 3 black players all missed, making the English explode in a racist frenzy
