England or BTA?

[Gynnsthetonic]

Me easily - I feel zilch affinity towards England nowadays - don't think I have since EURO 96

Up to France 98 I enjoyed, I'm not sure it all started when we were relegated in 2001, I just can't get excited about it, totally the opposite watching City. I'll be in my local tonight and probably the only one just standing there when we score

You said born in England so should want England to win, but it isn't as simple as that.

I was born and dragged up in Coventry. Come on BTA show everyone what you're capable of. Every England player is better than BTA. But it would be good to see him win the occasional battle at least.

If you’re English, you should want England to win. It’s no more complicated than that.

 

[bigfatronssba]

There is a weird anti-Englishness on the left.

I'm further left than Mao but patriotic as fuck. I want this country to do as well as it can at anything and I'm not surrendering the country to lamppost loving wankers.

It’s the middle/upper class left.
George Orwell had them spot on

George Orwell born in the British raj that attended Eton and fought for the republic in the Spanish civil war.

That George Orwell?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

The only answer is England to win, and BTA to play well and make a significant contribution for them. Maybe even score if it is not significant on the scoreline of the game.

Not sure why anyone who is English would sniff at the national team. Have some pride man!

 

[Grendel]

Weird is wanting one of your own players to do shite against the players he will most probably be up against next season.

Ghana are not very good. We should beat them easily. There's a very good chance Coventry....our club....would beat them.

Just try imagining how much of a boost it would give BTA to show he belongs in the Prem. Straight out of the blocks against Arsenal and Manchester City.

You seem to have some crush on him

 

[Rodders1]

Erm England of course

 

[JAM See]

I hope England win but all their Arsenal and Man City players pick up knocks that keep them out until September 8th.

 

[stevefloyd]

I will support BTA if he manages to persuade Semenyo to ditch Man City and sign for us

 

[covcity4life]

What a dumb thread (no offence Rob lol)

England all the way

Hope bta has a great tournament though

Yes that’s the one. He could recognise it in his own kind

100%

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

I hope we win 5-1 and Brandon scores their one

 

[fatso]

4-3 to England with BTA grabbing a hat trick.

 

[Lamps]

I think BTA has qualities that can help us in the prem , again , i dont care about ghana

I haven't seen anything from anyone here to make me think anyone cares about Ghana. What I have seen is wanting BTA to do well but for England to win.

I would be delighted for England to win by 4 goals or more, but BTA to play well and maybe even score.

 

[DT-R]

How on earth is Ayew starting ahead of BTA after last week's showing?

I disagree , he can do well against the other teams

Jordan Ayew in the black stars: Father's name,not player's merit

The truth is plain: Jordan Ayew is in the Black Stars because of his father, not because of his qualities .

This is the correct answer

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

These hydration breaks are a farce surely now was the time to have one if it was needed, but no these American bastards need their advertisements

 

[fatso]

More interruptions than football!

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

As a side note, some journey Semenyo has had, seeing as he was playing for Bristol City just 4 years ago.

I remember now checking out his name as he was a dangerous player in our 2-1 win at Ashton Gate in 2023.
That was a great night with Gus and Vik combining for late winner.

 

[Otis]

Supporting England. Hope BTA has a shocker.

Can't quite agree with that

Very happy for BTA to play well and score AFTER we are 4 goals up

 

[Captain Dart]

This 4 goals target is loooking very unlikely indeed.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

This 4 goals target is loooking very unlikely indeed.

So is a BTA appearance

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Joke he didn’t get on. Could have won it for Ghana.

 

[ajsccfc]

Turns out the correct answer was neither

 

[Lamps]

LOL

Good job BTA didn't play. He would have been well fired up for it and we were not very good anywhere.

It's not looking good. Panama kept cutting straight through them for 60 minutes. How long will it be before they come in for Lampard if we have a poor World Cup?

 

[Milan's hair dye]

Won't be lampard.
They'll tap up Pep before anyone else.

Different context, a draw guaranteed Ghana will progress to the KO rounds even if they lose to Croatia.

We’ll probably batter Panama for the same reason. They will need a win to qualify themselves if they fail to beat Croatia.

 

[skyblue025]

One of the poorest games of football you're ever likely to see.

England toothless and Ghana no desire to win at all. Officials were also shite and far too busy.

Context?

England were just not good enough. Same old crap different tournament. Nearly 80% possession for 3 shots on target. We're going to come across better defences that are also lethal in attack.

 

[Evo1883]

Atleast our very own BTA didnt get to come on and score and make half this forums juices flow

 

[robbiethemole]

Fucking shit England, two hours of my life I’ll never get back! Hahaha
They never fail to disappoint in tournaments

Ayew also had a pretty good game and never stopped working
