That's the problem, Jonny: You don't see (at least not correctly). Your sense of misplaced self-grievance is so marked that you manage to view (almost) anything as an attack on your white Englishness. No, you do not have to employ DEI policies each and every time when black people are under-represented. Nor do you have to when white people are under-represented. If there is a level playing field as there is in football in England DEI is not necessary. You have more in common with Aluko then either of you would care to admit: You both have enormous chips on your shoulders. 'Exhibits ... err ... sorry, m'lud, I've lost count ... n, n+1, ...n+ ... You absolutely don't realise how ridiculous this sounds. You have lost contact with any sense of reality. We weren't awful. We were inconsistent. We were excellent in parts (Croatia, Mexico, until we scored in the semi) and poor in many other games (Ghana, DR Congo, after subs in Argentina match). We all have our views about who should have been in the team. Imo Tuchel was proved correct in leaving out Foden and Palmer, neither of whom had good seasons. If one of them had been taken, then Gordon probably wouldn't have gone and he was one of our best players in the tournament. The substitutions cost us the semi-final. Yes, well done Spain. Did all football fans a favour. A victory against your favourite side, the anti-football Argentina. Lamal wasn't as influential throughout the tournament as I'm sure that he and Spain would have hoped but he still had his moments. The fact that you openly celebrate the "failure" of a 19-year old black player says all we need to know about you, Jonny.
