:comeon:

England played their B team also vs Belgium in the best losers match.

Looked again, yea both teams were at full strength, England just lost.

Maybe I’m misremembering but I could have sworn there was a Belgium vs England match where Januzaj came on and either scored or assisted.

That was the match he was referring to. That group game nobody wanted to win. Martinez looked annoyed when Januzaj scored. :russ:

Love this kid man. He might work with the enemy, Roc Nation, but he's such a good soul.

fukk the club allegiances, hoping for the best Maguire, Sancho & Rashford. This England team is a likable bunch.

Absolute bullshyt.:heh: I swear reactionary football twitter is the scourge of logical, right minded football fans.

We can say the same about any NT manager. For example

Teams Deschamps has faced in major tournaments 2014-2016:

Honduras
Switzerland
Ecuador
Nigeria
Germany
Romania
Albania
Switzerland
Republic of Ireland
Iceland
Germany
Portugal

Not exactly running of the gauntlet now. :troll:

Deschamps and this France side will never amount to anything if they're not playing Brazil every week. :troll:

I think there is a perverse incentive from people on social media and media outlets to play up the anon trolls for clicks/RTs. Ends up being a self fulfilling prophecy.

Even the Daily Mail cover is a sympathetic one for Saka. What are we even talking about at this point?

shyts crazy. I saw prominent MP David Lammy quote an (apparent) racist tweet toward Saka, only to find out the tweet was from a Somali breh in Finland :heh:

UK deny supporting racism in words but in deed manager, executives, coaches, captain, sportswriters, prime minister are non-brehs. papers are anti-breh. home secretary is anti-BLM. no legislation to end anti-black (and classist) education and hiring policies. no affirmative action.

it's a joke :hhh: and not a very funny one.

I was gonna mention that but didn't want to stir up some shyt. From the few screenshots I saw, I noticed there were a lot of Axmeds and Bashiirs... point is it could be people from all over the world shytting on those three players, it ain't just England.

Is it true that many Somali in the UK do not really identify as Black/Africans?

Also, Idk if you're from the UK but I always wondered why the country do not produce Anglo-Somali football players. This community have a strong football culture and not every of them have 10 000 meters body types. Yet, not top class Somali player exist in the PL.

Ok, did some recon. The “B-Side” game was in the final group stage match. The winner would have been on the “strong” side of the bracket with Uruguay, France, Portugal, Brazil and Argentina.

The 3rd place match was at full strength.
