Oooh! Petro Dollars Buys EPL, UEFA & FIFA.. But Can't Buy Youuu! Hey Jude! Bellingham Thread

I understand where you come from as I take our victim conspiracy stances as over the top given who we are, our success, and our resources

 

I do find the backlash for the fingering a bit over the top

but has his play really been criticized inappropriately to the other Brit stars?

I don’t follow English media so I honestly don’t know

 

Assume by Britt you mean Brit, in this case English?
Loads of players have been criticised for performances, Bellingham and Kane included. The absolute overwhelming majority of criticism has been for the manager, you all follow Real Madrid so its hardly surprising some of you perceive more of it is for Bellingham (this is probably how your social media algorithms work and what your naturally drawn to)

 

We have a bit of us against the world thing going here so I think we are fans with a chip on their shoulder with shield and swords ready to defend our players

but yeah I didn’t think Jude was being unfairly targeted by the Fox coverage so thanks for proving England foresight

 

I don't see it as us against the world but u do get certain frustration.

We consume English speaking media mostly and there is a certain homerism there. so lesser team at least of term of achievement get a lot more praise and attention. I m sure the spanish media and I can say that the Arab media is all over madrid.

The other part where this sentiment comes is Barcelona, they had been media darlings and some of our players got the short end of the stick in terms of awards and attention while being more successful.

Thus the concept of us not getting enough love.

"Without his teammates, Jude Bellingham is nothing. Apart from his goals, he does nothing, he was not seen in the first four games. I want to wait and see where he will be in 2-3 years."

Another clown with a voice

 

This is the sentiment in the media against Jude; It’s his fault that England are not playing well, despite he’s scored two crucial goals - it’s his attitude, how he celebrates, blah blah….. but yes, 4x4 he’s not being singled out.

 

Media sucks and is toxic

anyways

hope Jude is back in top form his next match

 

Finally some words of wisdom, JayJay.

 

How is this proof that English media are not hostile toward Madrid?

If anything because Jude has the spotlight in a very reputable foreign club makes them colder to him. As in "why would he go play there when this is the best league in the world" kind of argument.

 

The 4x4 argument strategy is to disregard any evidence that doesn’t fit his narrative.

An old screenshot of Kane and Bellingham in their club kits are not relevant to what’s happening now with the NT.

Show me any article or video clip praising Bellingham in the last few days since the Slovakia game.

you seem to forget that my original point was when England lose, Bellingham will take the bulk of the blame. You won’t see Saka or Foden get roasted, because they play in the EPL. Bellingham defied the English and is slowly becoming the pariah because he plays for RM.

 

My point of view, nothing at all new going on here, i'm not the slightest bit surprised, the best players always get the blame if the team isn't doing well, it's always happened through all the years i've been watching football, if Jude was a nothing player no one would be discussing him in any shape or form, positive or negative, i'm sure Jude will be fine and ready to fire on all cylinders come season start, we all think Jude is a better player than Saka and Foden anyway IMO all this discussion confirms that

 

You can't really claim for a fact that it wouldn't have been the same if he played for an English club since indeed he's their best player. But I disagree with 4x4s that being a Madrid player doesn't add some extra negativity. We've seen the likes of Mcmanaman, hes a representative example imo. You always want to stick it to the "establishment", and in footballing terms thats what Madrid is. The English don't see Bellingham play regularly, yet know he won the Spanish league and CL, so now they do their usual best player bashing, with a layer of "see Madrid are not that good, they wouldn't win the Premier league".

 

English want to push the best league in the world narrative and you can’t really be all that cocky about such a super duper awesome league when a team from another country is by far the best in the world.

so it’s natural to hype their own teams and players and belittle ours in the process

I don’t think it’s so much a Madrid hate agenda as it is a pro EPL agenda

 

lol. Bellingham has been the only one who’s been remotely good for England but gets the majority of the vitriol for the players. Southgate has rightly been getting stick.

He hasn’t been the best player in the tournament but clearly the best for England yet he’s consistently being criticized ahead of Foden Saka and Kane.

Again you’re showing clips of Jude from months ago. Show me the headlines from the last few days. The tide has turned, can’t have an “Englishman” have success with a foreign club. Especially a black one, A’rry he’s alright even though he’s with the Krauts!

“Footballer Rüdiger outs himself as a radical Islamist!” screamed a popular German right-wing YouTuber this week. “This man has no place in our national team,” declared Beatrix von Storch, the MP and deputy leader of the far-right Alternative für Deutschland party. “Islamism in the German starting eleven this evening,” wrote Julian Reichelt, the former editor of Bild and now the editor of Nius, a kind of equivalent to GB News.

Then there was the member of the AfD’s youth wing, interviewed on television at the party’s conference in Essen a few days ago, who stated on camera that Rüdiger should be “expelled”. Not from the team, not from the camp, but from Germany itself. And before what promises to be the match of the tournament, a game that feels – one way or the other – like the crux of Germany 2024, a reminder that among this fiercely united squad, some players are playing for higher stakes than others."

Some absolutely wonderfully enlightened people I'm sure.
