I must admit that I have a soft spot for the 3 Lions, and it didn’t start today. At one point in time, my favorite player was Paul Ince…and Gazza is a fav too! Recently though, the noisy England fans make it almost unbearable!
No, it’s not the actual English people from England. They’re cool, but my Gambian friends/family who support England are soooooo unjustifiably noisy that need a reality check.
A few wins against some average teams in the World Cup and we’re inundated with “It’s Coming Home”. What home?
I know football originated in England, but it’s a looong stretch to insinuate that England is “home” to the World Cup.
Uruguay can make that claim for having hosted and won the first World Cup.
Brazil can make that claim for having won it more than any other country.
Even Italy and Germany can make that claim for having won it on more than one occasion.
England though? HOW? WHY? WHAT (are you smoking)???
The World Cup took a bathroom break once, in 1966, and stopped by England. Not only has it never returned, it warned it’s little cousin, the European Championship, to never visit the Queen’s land, and it hasn’t it!
Claiming England is home to the World Cup is like Obama claiming Kenya is “home.” Yes, it’s cool to romanticize and all, but …”Ni**a, you’re from CHICAGO!!!”
So, my Gambian England fans, I hate to burst your bubble, but the World Cup’s home is NOT England. In fact, the World Cup is not even a member of the Commonwealth. Heck, to keep it 100% real, The World Cup Will Need A VISA To Visit England!
