Europeans: Parmitano rejoices at English goals, space wrath of the web

A deluge of controversy engulfed ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano after a tweet in which he congratulated Shaw’s English goal. “What an amazing goal, well done, England”, was the English comment of the 44-year-old Sicilian soldier. Immediate protests from Italian users who have fluctuated between irony (“Luca, the British have marked eh? English!”) And some threats and insults (“Look, if you continue like this next time in space we will leave you .. “, among repeatable messages). Parmitano’s clarification was not enough to appease the anger of the Azzurri fans: «For info: it is obvious that I support Italy but sport must be respect for the opponent. And the show is on both sides. Now it’s up to the Azzurri to continue playing! ». Someone reproached him for an excess of ‘politically correct’: «Football (only that) should be cheering on the stomach, relax and be sorry if Italy loses. It does not mean disrespect. He got the tweet wrong. Come to terms with it and be calm ». However, there were also those who liked: «Bravo Luca to enjoy SPORT, and cheering, in a healthy and non-toxic way», wrote an Internet user.
