An angry Mr Zindzi was confronted by an alleged racist supporter who was sitting in front of him during England’s 0-0 draw with Ghana at Boston Stadium on Tuesday.
An angry Zindzi was furious that fans and World Cup security were not removed from the stands.
An angry Zindzi criticized the standards of World Cup managers after he confronted and reported a fan for alleged racism during England’s draw with Ghana. The Three Lions, who opened Group L with a thrilling 4-2 win over Croatia in Dallas, were held to a 0-0 draw with Carlos Queiroz’s side in Boston on Tuesday night.
But during the match, Angry Ginge (real name Morgan Birtwistle) encountered an allegedly racist fan sitting in front of him. And a Manchester United supporter uploaded a video after the match, claiming:
“I reported it to the stewards, because the maxim is to kick him out, and I support that. So he’s going to go and get the manager now and we’ll see what happens. He’s never going to step foot in a stadium again or watch a football game again.”
A message then appeared on the screen that read, “The man sitting in front of me made some incredibly racist comments about the Ghanaian national team. So it was only natural for me to stand up and address this.”
However, the 24-year-old later claimed he was told by stewards that no action could be taken unless the fan in question commented again. He said: ‘Apparently the stewards said they couldn’t kick him out unless he did it again.

“I said there’s no way on Earth. We’ve all heard it. He has to go. So we’re getting a team together to get him out now or something.”
YouTube content creators have not revealed what the supporters said, but in the video they can be seen turning around and apologizing for their comments. “I’m sorry about my comments about Ghana. Something like this will never happen again,” he said.
“Can I just forget?” to which Birtwistle responded, “Just forget that I’m a racist!? No, dude.”
Angry Zinji recorded the encounter as he revealed his anger
Birtwistle then claimed in a video that although fans were eventually removed from their seats, they were simply moved to another part of the stadium to watch the rest of the game. “The pre-game message from the American stewards is definitely not enough. It’s a message to kick them out of the game. If you see them, say it,” he said.
“I went and reported it, but he was not kicked out of the stadium. I saw him when we were leaving. After he made a comment about the Ghana team, he was allowed to watch the entire match.”
“I think it is an utter disgrace that he was allowed to stay despite the fact that I had the evidence and five witnesses heard what he had to say.
“This is an absolute disgrace. It’s wrong on every level for him to stay and get away with it. I did my part. I couldn’t have done more.”
