ABEG emergency meeting - Crisis Averted

[Oba]

Why do people hate the England team so much? I know the tabloids and pundits have big mouths, but let's be frank, they're no different to Nigerian fans supporting their team.

1. #Windrush
2. Media and pundits
3. Colonial era

hehe. bro, why respond to her Majesty, the Queen's secret servants? These people are descendants of the animals who murdered and enslaved our ancestors. And today, they are treating some black British citizens like crap. And I am supposed to support such people?

There's a difference between not t supporting a team and hating on them. No one is asking you to support any team.

Their pundits are arrogant (hence the dislike) but their fans are great. I actually find it easier to support this team because of Gareth Southgate.

You like the fans today because pressure from big corporate sponsors + EU have forced England to stop exporting vicious criminals with their team. If not we would be counting down to when England gets beaten and the drunken mob starts their mayhem.

So you agree that I have good reason to like the fans? Or should we just have one of those CE arguments?

And no one can tell me not to hate England! Have you lost your mind?? Isnt this a big part of football?? Having bad belle for other teams??

Do you know why Barcelona fans despise Madrid??

Do you know why the basque fans make it hell for Madrid when they come visiting???

Go and find out the real reasons behind the above and then come back here.

There is really no explanation for those of you who wonder why many of us derive pleasure in watching England lose. It just goes to show many of you don’t understand football traditions – a bit like the person that castigated Nigerian fans for booing Dele Alli.

If you don’t understand why we don’t like England, maybe you really don’t understand football and the passions involved. You should follow cricket or something instead.

Go and ask the Scots, the Irish and the Welsh, who understand the English more than you do, why they love it when England lose. Ask the Scots why Diego Maradona is treated like a hero there, why during WCs there are Argentina flags in many Glasgow pubs.

Bill Shankly once said that football is more important than life and death. I wouldn’t go that far, but the joy I get from an England loss is more than the joy I derive from a Nigeria win. If I have to boil this down to a simple explanation, I would say it stems from English arrogance and hubris. There is nothing I love more than overinflated egos getting their comeuppance.

It was never like this b/4. I was a bit indifferent towards England until I started living in the country. Then you see their misguided sense of superiority, their media overhyping very average players, claiming everything about them is the best in the world, their dismissal of opponents, etc. When England were about to play Germany in 2010, Shearer said that no German could make the English first team on paper. When they got whacked 4-1, someone told him football was played on grass not on paper.

England have a knack of comparing their average players with genuine greats. They compared Kevin Keegan with Cruyff, compared Lineker with Van Basten, compared Lampard with Kaka, compared Shearer with the real Ronaldo, and Rooney was the “White Pele”. During a friendly against Brazil, when Shearer kicked Big Ron, commentator Martin Tyler said: “Shearer tries to settle the argument over who is the better striker personally”. Today, they keep trying to force down our throats that Harry Kane belongs in the same level as Messi and Cristiano. If they can’t claim to be the best, they claim credit for it. So Thierry Henry is: “born in France but made in England”.

Then you see how the likes of Alan Sugar likened the Senegal team to poor Africans selling fake designer handbags in Marbella and you wish Senegal would shove it down their throats by knocking England out.

On top of all that, the “blame the black guy” syndrome has never really gone away. From John Barnes to Raheem Sterling, the media would always try to pin England’s failures on their black players. You dare not make a mistake if you are black and playing for England. Not too long ago, England had an unwritten quota of one black player per team. They also chose not make Sol Campbell captain for obvious reasons. When Barnes scored a wonder goal in a 2-1 defeat over Brazil at the Maracana, on the flight back home, some fans told him that for them the result was 1-1 as the goal was scored by a black player. Not too long ago, those fans used to chant “no black in the Union Jack”. They still sing “Britannia rules the waves”. When Britannia ruled the waves was when they went round the world slaughtering many like you and me.

When Linford Christie won an Olympic gold medal and covered himself in the Union Jack, one guy said if only he knew that it was under that banner that his ancestors were taken from Africa to the Caribbean as slaves.

Any black man who supports England is, to me, like the disgusting Nigerians who have laid their life on the floor for Trump.

It's a bad day for ABEGI United.

England have managed to work out a winning formula.

It appears to be yielding results.

We shall see.

That is all well and good for the both of you. But for me, GO Inglaterra!!!!

Even If England picks 11 players from my LGA I will still hate them. Infact I will hate them more for picking England over their parents country. Just like I cant stand France more because of those lost negroes that represent them...ohhh Naija pls get the job done vs Argentina so we face those French fuuks in the RDof 16.

[marko]

The pre tournament predictions was England quarter finals, this squad has so many good players, people might not like what England represents, the media will say anything to get paid, after Salah demolished Man city, skme claimed he was better than Messi and Ronaldo, really? Thats english media and pundits for you, as i am wrting this, Salah is betting ready for pre-boarding back to Egypt

Personally, i cannot write off this England team eventhough they have not faced any credible opponents yet, they have some serious ballers in that squad
