ABEG Squadron. Report for duty!

[danfo driver]

They continue to disrespect us, but we have negroes who will bow to them

[txj]

Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Ball over.
Ball over who?
Ball over the backline with Alejandro steaming in you tapas eating tart. Bosh!

A little tweak of European tactics by ETH, and Foden is lost in Hatton wonderland...
Overrated

[Coach]

^Foden overrated?

[danfo driver]

Kane is their captain, but it is the black boy they continue to go after. This subtile racism is very clear and any black person who supports England is clearly someone who is deeply hateful of himself. Disgusting

[danfo driver]

They dont want to tell us about Palmer, Foden, Rice or their Captain, Kane. They are more interested in whether the black boy should be playing "6". B45t4rd country ... notice pic used had 2 black players

[danfo driver]

This was what the same paper had to say about Palmer:

[danfo driver]

And then, they needed to demonize the black child, in order to push for the "return" of a white boy.

Notice how they used the word "discipline" to describe something the black boy doesnt have. But then, they advocate for the "return" of a white boy, who is one of the most tactically indiscipline players you will ever see on the pitch?

[txj]

^Foden overrated?

Yes. An uppity Englishman pushed beyond his stations.
Its an English tradition btw...

Remember Super Mac?
Le Tissier?
More like Le Tits

Chief every country over hypes their own.
The Brits just have a bigger platform because
of the vast appeal of the EPL

The English have a patent on hype...

Hi Naija friends. I'm back from the usual work routine killing me at the end, with 4 more years till I retire.



Yet I reported for ABEG duty!

Croatia is arriving. Watch us today vs Portugal. We're built to handle England. Just like in the 2018 WC semifinal.

I figure a defense of: Gvardiol - Sutalo - Erlic - Stanisic, with Juranovic and Sosa as subs, can handle Kane, Bellingham, and Saka.

And that a midfield of Kovacic - Brozovic - Modric, with ~20 year olds Sucic and Baturina as subs, can handle Rice and his cohorts in the middle.

The battle is here. Abeg! Please!

Good man. How do you rate Croatia's chances and are you travelling to Germany?

[airwolex]

Those pictures with Saka is wild. Did they call themselves and all decide to make Saka the face of that defeat? The English media has always been evil, but even for them using a sub who played 25 minutes as the face of the defeat is low. It is obvious they don't like the fact that he is one of their best players.

[airwolex]

I don't think they will do well btw. Too many overhyped players eg Foden, Rice and Bellingham. A weirdo of a keeper, no left back and a mediocre CD (Dunk).

Now some people might tell me Bellingham is just 20, but he was the worst player on the pitch on the Champions League final and almost as bad in the semi-finals. He's a cross between Lampard and Gerard and the typical English all action low creative player. They will be found out.

Their best players are Kane and Saka but that's not enough.

It's not just an English problem but they sure do it a lot. Even that nonsense with Lookman after the Europa League final gives insight into how those media loons think.

It's a very flawed squad and team. I don't expect them to win it and an "earlier-than-expected" exit wouldn't surprise me.

I posted on the Euro 2024 thread, if you have time to check out what I wrote. But I think we have a more balanced squad than in WC 2022, where we took 3rd place...as now we have some offense: not world class, but serviceable, playing in front of world class midfield and defense.

My top picks:
#1 France
#2 England: unfortunately they are that good on paper...comes down to Bellingham and Rice being able to control the midfield with authority and class, something England has not had since 1970. This really might be different if these 2 jokers measure up ...and they just might.

Europe has a lot of good teams right now. Any 1 of these are in the next tier from the above favorites...can possibly win:
Croatia, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Germany (serious favorite at home), even Italy.

Did you watch Croatia beat Portugal 2-1 on Saturday? 2 extremely talented teams. A pretty decent game for a friendly, the usual final tuneup.

I don't know about that. Like I said earlier, this time they just might have the personnel...not since 1970 was this true, with Charleton, Moore, and other world class talent. They took Brazil to the wire in a memorable game we all should watch...just to see what England once was.

They've since been all about huff and puff and hoof in desperation. Again, this team is different.

Bellingham is that good. I watch RM because of Modric. Jude is the real deal, if he maintains composure and keeps maturing. Like you said, he's young, evolving pretty fast.

Rice is capable of being a Roy Keane type for England. Can be a perfect holding midfielder and pivot. Again, let's see it to believe it. Just like Jude, let him show it.

I don't like these big mouthed jokers. Their media is insufferable with overhype and disparaging opponents. I kinda get along with most England fans, but the loudmouths are disproportionately loud.

[TonyTheTigerKiller]

EURO 2024 will soon be upon us and Les Lions Trois have a strong chance of winning. Never in the 20+ years of A.B.E.G's existence have England won a trophy so let's keep up that tradition.

Les Bleus, we're relying on you.

Wetin be A.B.E.G.


Cheers.

ANYONE BUT ENGLAND

[Showboy]

ANYONE BUT ENGLAND

[packerland]

I think we hate England (and I do too)so much because of their media but this their Euro squad is pretty good. The defense might be their downfall but am happy they dropped some overrated players. If na Nigeria, the likes of Maguire will be in the team injury or not.
