England v Colombia: Players sent DEATH THREATS after missing World Cup penalty shootout
England v Colombia: Carlos Bacca and Mateur Uribe have been sent death threats
England triumphed in a nerve-jangling penalty shootout to progress to the quarter final after Colombia players Mateus Uribe and Carlos Bacca missed penalties.
The players have now received shocking death threats on social media on the 24th anniversary of the death of Andres Escobar, a Colombia star who scored an own goal at USA 1994 before being shot dead after returning home.
Uribe and Bacca have both been targeted on social media after fluffing their lines after Colombia and England could not be separated after 120 minutes of play.
One particularly vicious Twitter attack said: “Die Carlos Bacca. Son of a b***h. No-one wants you, gonorrhoea. To this country you don’t return.”
