Anyway congrats to the England women. Those goals were sublime, especially the third one! I was openmouthed when that went in.
Like I’ve always said, my satisfaction doesn’t come from any particular love for England, but from amusement at how some people get so distraught at another man’s (or in this specific case, woman’s) success.
I genuinely don’t get it.
But that’s just me sha…
You support Chelsea, you turn a blind eye to John Terry.
You support Liverpool you turn a blind eye to Suarez.
and so on
Even in England's Women's football some you had the whole issue with Aluko. During this Championship you have elements mainly on Social media lauding the "all whites" claiming it is praise of the jersey but the undertone is clear. Anita Assante (former England player) did a very detailed article in the Guardian on the current issues wrt to Diversity in Women's foot ball.
For some people these are easy hurdles to cross, for some they aren't. Once you haven't crossed them, then it is easy for your support to head in over directions.
Not everyone is comfortable partially belonging, or being unwanted co-travellers.

I hear you, but the hypocrisy (or maybe not hypocrisy. Maybe just a selective amnesia or even some kind of cognitive dissonance) is when a Nigerian would rather support a Germany, Hungary or Russia rather than England.AreaDaddy wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 2:16 pmFor the average ethnic minority to passionately support your 'nation' or even you local club you have to cross hurdles that indigenous supporters often do not have to cross, or at least find it easier to cross.Damunk wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 6:16 amThe fact that they’ve reached the final is already too much for some.Scipio Africanus wrote: ↑Wed Jul 27, 2022 1:31 pmOga, maybe you should wait before England actually win di cup before typing dis.

I was in Germany for two days late last year and despite the best efforts of my German host, found myself feeling very uncomfortable in a wayIve never felt for 25 years anywhere in the UK. It was palpable, especially when I ventured out alone and popped into a local restaurant.
So what am I doing supporting a Germany over England simply because I remember the racist abuse some idiots hurled at me as they sped by in Cornwall?
