He started out playing in Nigeria. Nigeria partly developed him. I doubt he will be this good without the Nigerian influence in his game.

MAJORITY OF THE SUPPORTERS DIDN'T NOT BOO HIM BECAUSE HE CHOOSE TO PLAY FOR ENGLAND, MAJORITY OF THE FANS YESTERDAY BOOED HIM BECAUSE OF NEGLECTING HIS PARENTS.

I DON'T WANT TO BE A JUDGE, NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES ARE, ABANDONING ONES PARENTS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT GOES WELL WITH OUR CULTURE..

IN HIS DEFENCE HIS UP BRINGING AND OTHER FACTOR COULD HAVE PLAYED A ROLE IN HIS MINDSET BUT THE FACTS IS ALWAYS HONOUR YOUR PARENTS (Fifth Commandment)

RATHER THAN BEING BOOED, ANOTHER WAY TO PASS THE MESSAGE ACROSS WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER...

Exactly even if parents did something to offend him. He still needs to open the line of communication to grand parents, sisters and etc. Don't just neglect your family.

Which club/youth team did he play for in Nigeria?

You can see the Nigerian flare in his game. He played in Nigeria from age 8 to 11. I don't know the name of his youth team or club.

I don't see how his personal life is anyone's business. If he did a "Ramos" and tried to injure a Nigerian player or even insulted Nigeria directly I can understand, heck I'll even join the chorus, but booing him for his personal business is silly and petty regardless of culture or not. Have we even heard the young man's side of the story?

As someone who has issues with my own father I can relate to how annoying and judgmental Nigerians can be.

He was booed and will be booed again. Get over it.

Can't help it if you people are small time hypocrites. Constantly demand Nigerians to be respected yet can't respect yourselves.

Dele didn't choose Nigeria or cut ties with him family, so what? Ignore him and move on.

As Damunk has taken care to explain, this is standard fare in football and in fact sports. As long as the fans do not resort to discriminatory and unsavory attacks, there is nothing at all to see here. If I was at the stadium, I will find any reason - including the slightest and most tangential of reasons like Kane stealing goals from teammates - to boo any English player in an attempt to rattle the player and throw him off his game.

This is one of the limited ways fans have to make their presence felt and players that have not been desensitized to that need to sit down on their team psychologist's couch a little longer.

can we rewind the match and boo him again?

As someone else said quite eloquently, your president choose England as well over Nigeria

smartbrother wrote:was the most disgraceful part of today's display
very shameful.

What is disgraceful is that you call yourself "smartbrother" and you claim to be a football fan.

I know Alli is a lot smarter than you and would see the booing as a backhanded compliment. That's what booing opposition players really is. Alli was booed b/c Nigerians would rather have him playing for us than England. We wouldn't want him playing for us if he wasn't good. Angelo Ogbonna was booed when we played Italy. Nobody booed Ikechi Anya when he played for Scotland against us.

Booing any good player that chooses the opposition instead of your team is part and parcel of the fan experience. When Shearer snubbed Manure for Newcastle, Manure fans regularly chanted "there's only one greedy b*stard" at him.

The same Nigerian fans that booed Alli would embrace him and treat him like royalty when England turns against him after he's no longer any use to them. Ask John Fashanu.

Tbite wrote:I tell people on this forum that these players have multiple allegiances, as do many of us on this forum.

Alli had/has EVERY RIGHT to play for England, actually any neutral would logically deduce that he is more English than he is Nigerian, so why were we angry that he turned us down? Why?

If he wanted to play for us, that would be a bonus, but it was never our right to demand it.

These players grow up in a country, many of them are even born in those countries, they are almost indistinguishable from their Anglo-Saxon peers, in terms of their upbringing, with the difference being, the little bit of home brought to them by their parents.

And in the case of Alli, he even had an estranged father! So he probably knows as much about Nigeria as Raheem Sterling.

He has a right to choose England and Nigerian fans have a right to BOO him!

I'd boo my own son if he played for England against Nigeria! I used to like Glenn Hoddle as a player and when he was appointed England manager, my bro asked whether I will start supporting England. I told him I won't support England even if I was their coach.

The SE final 23 have been announced and you guys are still here discussing the booing of an English footballer called Dele Alli. Na wao

If he is good enough to be chosen by England, he WILL be booed!

You see us booing you even in Rant and Rave?

i don't think they are complimenting your redskins when the crowd is booing their poor performance.

but yes, booing can be a compliment.

Chief, if by some miracle we meet England at the World Cup, I will personally be in the stadium conducting the 'bestest', most orchestrated booing ever seen in the round leather game. Every Nigerian and neutral fan will leave that stadium with a sore throat.

When you are booing a team, you are booing their performance.

When you are booing a player it is because he is someone that you care enough to boo...

Can't help if you are so sensitive about fans booing an opposing player with ties to their team. Everyone else has moved on - you haven't.

Please name a team, playing in the street or school at 8 or 10 doesn’t count as development nor does it compare to what the FA and MK Dons did for him.
