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.

Media and pundits - they are loud and irritating, yes. Nigerian fans are as loud and arrogant. It's all part of being a fan, and having belief in your team.
Colonial era - no one alive today was responsible for colonialism. This English team is diverse, with a large contingent of black and mixed race players that represent the effective integration of their ancestors and them into the fabric of modern Britain.

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.

Re: ABEG emergency meeting.
So England beat Tunisia and Panama they are already world beaters? This team is coming home as soon as they meet a good side. I just hope they beat them before Harry Kane rakes up 10 penalties to become the highest world cup scorer.

I sometimes root against US in soccer but it's simply because of the silly pundits that run their mouth too much and also because US has not invested enough in soccer, so they should not be over-rewarded.
But in games like basketball, I always root for the US...

Re: ABEG emergency meeting.
Seriously though, this world cup is springing up surprises, England might not be pleasing on the eye but they have a credible goal threat, whats scary is not playing well and winning like this, yes its Panama but the confidence 6 goals brings is immense

Re: ABEG emergency meeting.
Stop mixing politics with our football oo - most of the guys in the English team are likeable guys except for a few. Besides, if you are Afro-centric we have a Dele playing for England and we have a Rashidi (Rashford) whose ancestors were taken from Ibadan to West Indies before moving to England... Lingard dey, Ashley Cole, breda Welbeck dey, another Ibadan boy Raimi (Sterling) dey, Danny Rose & Delph plus including Alexander-Arnold

Re: ABEG emergency meeting.
For all the criticism English announcers heap on other teams, they play hot garbage. Even the US is more humble about basketball despite holding the sport in a headlock. The level of condescension and ITK is beyond annoying. After decades of disturbing the planet with noise, hooligans, and a disrespectful press, they remain trash.

Re: ABEG emergency meeting.
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.

Re: ABEG emergency meeting.
Watching the Senegal defence/goalie yesterday, I was hoping for Colombia to qualify at their expense b/c I think Colombia has a better chance of knocking out England. I doubt if Japan could do the job. I think they will go into the match with an inferiority complex. The WE syndrome is bigger in Japan than in Africa.bret- hart wrote:Colombia/Senegal/Japan will knock those chumps out.

I agree with this. I think Japan will fold against England.
