Sept 4 (Reuters) - Wales captain Gareth Bale on Saturday called for countries whose fans are repeat racism offenders to be banned from international soccer after reported abuse towards England's Raheem Sterling and Jude Bellingham in Budapest on Thursday. British broadcasters reported "monkey chants" being aimed at England's Black players while plastic cups rained down on the players when they celebrated goals near the corner flag. Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Saturday authorities need to take steps to prevent expressions of racism at soccer matches or any other aspects of life. But he criticised the international media for saying there was a "racist and hostile" atmosphere in the Puskas Arena. After facing Belarus, Wales take on Estonia at home on Sept. 8.
