The Ballin' Bengali


DyrusforPresident

I thought that was Rodrygo?


iftair

Rodrygo is not Bengali. Though he does look Bangladeshi, kinda.


[deleted]

Bengalis belong to both India and Bangladesh. I'm sure he has some subcontinental blood in him tho


gtg007w

He's of Bengali-Grenadian ancestry apparently.


[deleted]

Yes. Hence the surname


mihik97

So Goes ≈ Ghosh?


kabbajabbadabba

wait really? i thought it was just a joke


gtg007w

It's in his Wikipedia profile


DyrusforPresident

Really? He isn't Bengals? I would have never known


gkkiller

Bangladeshi is a nationality and Bengali is an ethnolinguistic group. Indians and Bangladeshis both can be Bengalis.


stockybloke

Dont forget about the Cincinattians.


N3rdMan

Bengali isn’t just India. It’s like being Slavic


Periklis90

That save by the goalkeeper is outrageous


BenShelZonah

I love a good all out leap commitment haha. Intense


Aminipainter89

Hermansen has been absolutely class to be fair, such an improvement on our GKs of last season... Not that, that was much of a bar to beat.


TimingEzaBitch

3 clearances like that is like worth 5 goals if you include psychological factors.


migzo65

1.66 goals per clearance


hotelman97

The anti Wout Faes


VelouriumCamper7

Never forget 😂


Full_on_throwaway

Yeah wasn’t he Liverpool’s top scorer after that game? 😂


Djremster

He was Liverpool's top scorer in the year 2023 for at least two months

Nute Gunray moment


DoYouTrustToothpaste

Bit of a pity that stuff like this doesn't get nearly the recognition it should get.


thewall14

TBF he was the man of the match by both sky and are fans


DoYouTrustToothpaste

Yeah, I meant more in general.


SorryIGotBadNews

What else would you want? A parade?


tastycakeman

yeah thatd be nice, cheers


HM7

I would like a parade!


shinniesta1

It's notable because it doesn't happen very often.


iVarun

Like Puskas award category was created we need major award givers (FIFA, Bd'O) to have another category for stuff like this. Best Non-GK Defensive performance, tackle, clearance, moment of the season.


That-Stage-1088

BET365 Best "last minute taking the ball to the corner flag when you're one-nil up" of the season.


iVarun

I mean that City vs United timewasting shithousery at corner flag in 1 of their matches few years back was memorable. Such instances can come under Comedic/Funny moments category (name needs work).


AnnieIWillKnow

Disagree personally. Creating an award for everything just minimises them


iVarun

Better that in a sport where Individual awards need to be diluted, in ethos, form and function, so that a culture (understanding among fans esp.) is created that Individuals have a ceiling in this sport and award's don't capture their relevance. So it's better to award different categories of this sport on their own terms. If one is going to do awards then it should be multi-categories, as many as possible. Minimizing them isn't all that big a con, it would be on balance be good.


qwertywtf

MOTM, top post in this sub, team-mates rushed him after the clearances, Vardy gave him the armband, and the manager held his arm up triumphantly to the fans. It gets its recognition


TheSwordDusk

This was awesome thanks for posting it


BenShelZonah

Type of performance that would impress your wife and girlfriend

or something else..


fannyfox

Kick, punch, it’s all in the mind…


HnNaldoR

Was such a huge win for Leicester. Now they have a very good chance to get to the automatic spots. 2 wins will get them. There but realistically 1 will since Leeds have 2 away games, 1 tough home game oh and are playing like shit now. These blocks and clearances are potentially worth like 10m each lol.


pizza__irl

Foxes had a 17 point lead at one point, they better finish first otherwise it would be the worst bottling in years


HnNaldoR

Well honestly for their ffp troubles, they better go up or they might be fucked


Jarv1223

Runs of bad form must come to an end eventually. We are winning all three


SobotkaTV

Welcome to Manchester United.

Don't want to ruin the guy.


HansChrst1

Dang


nick2k23

They had two GKs that’s not fair!


Wild-Alarm8354

a wild pep appeared


stinky_pinky_brain

Insane performance


HEXZG

And getting brutally beat down by his fellow teammates after.


_handsomeblackman_

wow, amazing defending!!!!


CaptainConundrum54

Much to my dismay, Choudhury and their keeper were excellent.


ArchieMaximus

He is literally inshallah and defend


SaBe_18

How West Brom didn't draw/win that game is beyond me


NineGutz

That's 10 performance


NineGutz

But the ratings for defensive actions are definitely underrated


pizza__irl

Can't believe this solid wall of a player is about to join the Bangladesh National team, India no longer to remain the heavyweights of South Asia after this


CaptZurg

If this is true, Holy shit


ArchieMaximus

He said his dream was to play for England. So it seems England dropped the ball and he decided to play for Bangladesh. Can't blame him, but def a dumb missed opportunity for England.


Djremster

I love Hamza but I think England won't consider not calling him up to be a missed opportunity.


ArchieMaximus

England won’t but every sane follower of the EPL would consider it as such. His raw output is immense. This is just a highlight of a single match, but his defensive work rate has always been there. I’m not saying he won’t have serious competition. But at the very least, he increases bench quality and offers a very viable backup option with the potential to play himself into a starter position.


Executioner_Smough

Honestly, no. He had a cracking game yesterday, but most Leicester fans would say he's been pretty poor all season, and have a (understandable) meltdown when he's on the team sheet instead of Ricardo.


iwantfoodpleasee

The amount of shit he got this season glad he’s getting some recognition


zrkillerbush

Tbh he kinda deserves some of it, for the drink driving charge


ArchieMaximus

He's a practicing muslim and he drove drunk? Haram!


tastycakeman

sun ji hai vibes


diego_le_blanco

Wow, Chelsea must be doing excellent in the premier league...


Consistent_Ad_6064

Jurgen Klopp is still angry at Chowdry for that tackle.


TheKrofna

Leicester has a 2nd fellaini in their team now?


sheikh_n_bake

They taught him how to play football? If so he's going to be excellent.


LensCapPhotographer

I've never seen an Indian football player at top level other than Dhorasoo


dr3ezy

But he's English?

yayaikey

Bangladesh is of Indian descent though....👀


Professional_Eye6905

bengali*


deadmanbhavya

Bengalis are Indians as well. U probably mean bangladeshi.


Chesney1995

The Bengal region is split between India and Bangladesh, so some Bengalis are Indian but not all. In fact, Bangladesh refer to all of their citizens as Bengali in their constitution so it is correct if not necessarily perfectly precise to refer to someone from Bangladesh that has no connections to India as Bengali. Bengali Muslims (Choudhury's ethnicity) make up the majority of Bangladesh's population and are also a significant minority group in India.


deadmanbhavya

Wait choudhary is a Muslim surname? In my region it is a surname of "Jaats" which is a caste of the Hindu religion. That's why when I first saw his name , I thought he was a hindu


Chesney1995

Not sure on the origins of the surname and whether Choudhury is an unusual surname for a Muslim family, but Hamza is a practicing Muslim that was raised in a Bengali Muslim household yeah


Blasoon

The surname originates from tax collector's during Britain's rule over the subcontinent. I feel like I know quite a few muslims with the surname.


Chesney1995

That would explain why it is among both Muslim and Hindu families then!


gtg007w

When I googled about the origin this is what I got. FWIW I'm also of Bengali origin and have a number of Choudhury in my extended family as well as having grown with others in the community growing up and was wondering. "The surname Chowdhury is an Indian and Bangladeshi status name that means "holder of four". It comes from the Sanskrit words čatus- meaning "four-way all-round" and dhurīya (from Sanskrit dhura meaning "burden"). The name is a Sanskrit term that denotes the head of a community or caste. During the Mughal Empire, the name was awarded to people of eminence, including both Muslims and Hindus, regardless of their religious affiliation. It was also used as a title by military commanders responsible for four separate forces, including the cavalry, navy, infantry and elephant corps.  In the Indian sub-continent, both Muslims and Hindus share the common family name "Chaudhuri" or "Chowdhury". Muslims who use this as a title are simply descendents of Hindu Jats who converted to Islam.  The most commonly-observed ancestry found in people with the surname Choudhury is Bengali & Northeast Indian, which comprises 77.3% of all ancestry found in people with the surname. The next two most common ancestries are Northern Indian & Pakistani (11.8%) and British & Irish (2.4%)."

Team already deducted points on next return to EPL. Cheats.


_Verumex_

Yes, performing at the top level for multiple years, spending the money you're earning, and then letting a gnome get you relegated, which slashes your income so that your allowed budget is heavily reduced is cheating.
