AWB switches to Congo

[Mad Ferret]

Awful news for us. 

He’ll be travelling half way around the world now at international breaks and potentially we’ll be without him for the two bob African Cup.

[El Scorchio]

Wears the wrong colour shirt now. If he’d just had the season for them he did for us, he’d be in an England squad. 

[Fauxstralian]

Not as good a full back as Trippier or defender as TAA?

Obviously knows he was never getting picked for England so you can’t blame him for taking the opportunity of international football with a World Cup next year

[BerlingtonBertie]

Will no doubt get malaria or some other impediment. Cannibal Cup more like

[Eerie Decent]

Surprised he didn't get a chance with England, especially with Walker at the end of his career and Reece James seemingly injury prone.

He's nowhere near good enough for England.

I know you're not allowed to say that the AFCON is a load of old shit, so I won't, but why the fuck is it every 2 years? Is the World Cup every 4 years and the absolutely superbly brilliant AFCON every 4 years not enough? Not only is it idiotic, it also devalues it. If it was every 4 years, maybe everyone else would take it seriously as a tournament.

[On The Ball]

DRC got to the semis last time as well, so they aren't bad. Although two years is a long time in African football.

I'll be at the Final again though 

[Fauxstralian]

Next ACN is December 23 2025 to January 18 2026 & DR Congo have qualified so will miss the whole Christmas period & us getting knocked out at Anfield in the FA Cup 3rd round

[goose]

On the plus side we’ll be sorted for Umbongo.
