Southgate compassion


When England won the penalty shootout against Colombia in the World Cup, England team captain Gareth Southgate was photographed consoling a Colombian player who missed his shot. 22 years ago in Euro 1996 Southgate also missed a penalty shot and many fans commented Gareth knew how the player felt.

England supporters praised Southgate on twitter, one writing how the photo made him proud to be English. 

What do you see in the picture?
Where was it taken?
What's happening?

Explain the story

- What happened at the end of the England V Colombia match?
- What is a penalty shootout?
- If a player misses a penalty in a shootout what happens?
- The player in the photo has missed his shot- how is he feeling?
- What do you think the England players and the England fans are doing at the moment this photo is taken?
- Why is the England captain hugging the player?
- What do you think Southgate is saying?
- Why does one fan say this photo makes him proud to be English?
- What does this photo show us about the way Southgate see's his opponents  in a game?
- The player is a different race to Southgate; he has different skin, probably speaks a different language. What does this show us about Southgate's attitude towards difference?
- Why is this about No Outsiders?
