I genuinely would advocate for the England captain and/or manager to inform the ref the game is done, and walk the players off the pitch, if it happens again. I understand the 'best way to shut them up is to win the game' perspective, but I simply do not agree with it anymore. Bulgaria know they're most likely losing the game regardless.
It is so much easier to brush under the carpet when it was minor event but the game carried on - imagine the terrible optics UEFA would have to contend with if they had to consider handing a 3-0 defeat because they dared to protect their players from racial abuse.
