Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

[phcitywarrior]

You know damn well these boys ain’t tryna play for no African countries

Is what it is

Tbh, don’t blame em.

Born and raised in Europe, played youth international football for Euro nations and maybe have never actually been to their African fatherland.

I think Saka first went to Naija just last year. Hard to convince someone like that to drop everything and play for Nigeria. Especially when your international matches are in Cotonou or Kigali vs London or Paris…

It is what it is

Scrubgate to UTD?

Exactly bro… a lot more of them are interested than people think but it’s politics too and these countries are not serious.

When you’re used to the England set up it makes sense to just stick with it.

Eze would rather not play international football than play for Naija. Same with Adarabioyo.

Yea the Eze one really killed me because our MF is CRYING for a player with his profile. He’d slot right in and take the no 10 immediately off Joe Aribo

Tosin’s own is also blowing me. He and Bassey already play together for Fulham. Bringing that CB partnership to SE would be immense.

Yea, that last AFCON had the diaspora tuned in. I would think seeing someone like Haller would get some of these kids to make the switch earlier, especially if they’re on the periphery.

Haller was in France’s youth setup for the longest but he wasn’t gonna break into the senior squad so he finally accepted the CIV call up at like 26/27.

Aint he capped for England?

He is, and he isn’t getting picked for the Euros (which we knew from the jump). Not even in this March squad.

Mans wasted a Nigerian starting spot just to be cap tied for 20 mins against Malta. If he ever features for England at a major tourney make I bend

For sure bro… the Diaspora is proud of their heritage it’s just about removing barriers. Would be amazing to see a day when our countries are the first choice, not just when theres no pathway for the euro countries.

Now for the Caribbean lot, don’t blame them. Ain’t no way I’m playing in damn CONCACAF over the Euros

You and I both know that man’s full name


We both know how he was raised and what he came home to every day

AIn't no apologies.

We been known my GOAT been smashing, Carra was just being too loud about it

I honestly do t think he smashed. I think k he knows if he presses he can smash, and I think she wouldn't be I trouble if he asked the question, but being the gentleman surrounded by women just as gorgeous or better I think Thierry plays it cool.
Malik gotta accept that and keep it 100. Women may say they love you but they have options just like men do.

If these rumours about Southgate to Man U are true, it's great

Ratcliffe pays 1.3 billion for 25% for Man U , been in the job 5 minutes and is already making worst decisions then anything the Galzers has done in the last 10 years

You couldn't make this shyt up if you tried

You couldn't make this shyt up if you tried

You could, because the Daily Star, one of the least reputable papers on planet earth, did.
