it's the wrong kind of patriotism apparently. for the yaxley-lennon types you're not allowed to be proud of the country you live in just of a whitewashed past version of it that never really existed |  |

though probably speaks to something that the first muslim to play for England is of Jamaican descent and an adherent of the Nation of Islam, rather than a South Asian... |  |

It's a staggering statistic when you consider the number of Muslims living in the UK. Although cricket has traditionally been the more popular sport for British Muslims. Hence we have had more representation in the England cricket team from followers of Islam. |  |

Quite interesting when it comes to cultural differences between groups. As you say cricket is almost certainly a factor, like a religion in itself in South Asia. I remember chatting to an Indian mate of mine about the lack of Indian players in football, this was when Chopra was with Town and my mate said he had adopted Ipswich as his team. He was a big cricket follower and only moderately into football, he also said culturally there's perhaps more of a push to academia in Indian families here and its hard to be both a doctor and a footballer. Unless you're former Gretna Green goal machine Kenny Deuchar. |  | |  |

Think the cricket thing is sometimes overplayed a bit. When I lived in South Manchester Longsight was full of Bangladeshi and Pakistani heritage kids who loved football, played it obsessively. Plenty of appetite to play. I'd guess it's a bit of a vicious circle. You don't see any top class Asian footballers, so you can't convince your parents to invest the required time/energy in what seems like an unrealistic ambition. Meanwhile academy scouts/coaches don't see top class Asian footballers, which is going to shape their bias (consciously/unconsciously) when assessing future ability. |  |

BDS has been all over this thread frothing at the mouth shouting "xenophobia" and the likes. A simple thread celebrating a good England football team performance. I am embarrassed for him really. I think he needs some help. |  |

i worry for you, there's plenty of idiocy for you to be embarassed by, without taking on other people's! i find it odd that in 2025 there's still some weird people who get their knickers in a twist about celebrating a multi-national, multi-cultural english sporting success just because it goes against their narrative |  |

Who got their knickers in a twist about that exactly? I see no negative reaction to that at all? Sad you have to make stuff up in response. |  |

not like you to defend farage, oh wait... it was designed to provoke thought. it would only provoke a negative reaction in those who can't see how farage and jenrick's anti-immigration hysteria & xenophobia is contrary to all that britain has stood for, for generations |  |

starting a post gstk with a bunch of flags at a time where the right wing are trying to weaponise our flag for xenophobia is way more political (unwittingly or not) than anything i've put. i'm just trying to celebrating the success of our multicultural nation. shame some people can't get over their prejudices and back england |  |

In fairness to Sitters, he has posted gstk (q) with a bunch of flags before every England international for as long as I can remember. If he didn't do it this time then it would be far more political, as he would be allowing the racists and knuckle draggers to highjack our flag. [Post edited 10 Sep 15:45]
