Thespence Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 England's African connection of Nedum Onuoha, Gabriel Agbonlahor and Andrew Surman gave them a 3-0 European Under-21 Championship qualifying win at Montenegro. Nigerian-born Manchester City defender Onuoha put England ahead after only four minutes while Agbonlahor - who is half-Nigerian - doubled the tally six minutes later. South African-born Southampton midfielder Andrew Surman sealed with win in injury-time. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/07092007/58/euro-2007-under-21-african-connection-gives-england-win.html Not only are English born footballers finding it harder to get into Premiership teams due to foreign players, they are finding it hard to get into the England U21 team.

La Parka Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 It could be a bit racist I suppose(if you stretch it a little). We should call them English no matter if they have African heritage. Why should their heritage even be a point? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest optimistic nit Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 no one gives a shit about english born players anyway. the kickoff is about the demise of the english national team, not english born players not having the same oppertunites as other nationalities. No one gives a fuck about Pitersen, Strauss and Panasar in the england cricket team, and why should they, because we'd be fucked without them. once foreigners who won't play for england start playing here we have a right strop though.

Dave Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 It's such an unimportant thing that I find it strange Eurosport even felt the need to mention it. If you'd told me we won 3-0 (forgot about the match tbh) and those were the scorers, the 'African connection' would be the last thing I'd think about.

Guest jamesmartinsmith Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 This is a bit racist of you isn't ? It's not racism, not even ignorance if he's too blind to realise that Agbonlahor is English-born, Onuoha has lived here for most of his life and Surman has been here since he was 10.
