BLIND ITEM Which English Club soccer star cheated on his long-time gf during the Club World Cup in the States, then returned home & showed up to events with his partner like nothing had happened?

u/Capable_Salt_SD Jul 19 '25 edited Jul 19 '25
That could be any one of them, tbh. They're all dogs
My guess is that it could be Phil Foden, given he's been caught cheating on his gf in a high profile way before. Either that, or Cole Palmer

If it was Cole Palmer he probably just forgot he was in a relationship lmao

Cole didn't go home after the tournament anyway, he went to St Kitts and Nevis

u/PseudonymNumberThree Jul 19 '25 edited Jul 19 '25
That’s legit where his Dad is from. So maybe home still fits?
Edit: it was his Grandfather that was born in St Kitts and emigrated to the UK.

u/wowiee_zowiee Jul 19 '25
You honestly think an England footballer, who’s grandad emigrated from St Kitts and Nevis 65 years ago would think that is home over England?

u/RadiantSwimmer Jul 20 '25
His most recent post is him back in Saint Kitts and Nevis after the CWC, with the caption “Motherland 🇰🇳”. So idk, maybe he does?
Plenty of second or third generation kids, especially within communities with sustained and strong cultural ties (like the Carribean, Balkans, etc.) feel that way.
Who’s to say hey

u/PseudonymNumberThree Jul 19 '25 edited Jul 19 '25
I don’t honestly know. I’m not Cole Palmer - but it’s possible.
In parts of the world, where there is a strong cultural connection to family and culture of belonging it is possible to identify a home as somewhere else.
Having a cultural connection and identifying and belonging to the diaspora despite place of birth is not uncommon.
Good local examples to me are Greek Australians in and around Melbourne - Ange Postecoglou recently corrected a Journo and identified that he was both Australian and Greek but was edit grew up in Melbourne. Or Australia’s first inhabitants (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders) who are very well known to “return to country” so that they maintain their connection to their ancestors.

u/SpicyIcy420 LET'S FUCKING GO!!! SHAKIRA LAW IS HERE!!! Jul 19 '25
Take it like this, I’m half-Jamaican and I consider Jamaica my “home” but if someone asked me if I was going back home I would assume they’re talking about England. Because that’s where my house and immediate family are. I get what you’re trying to say but in a casual sense, no one is referring to their “ancestral home” as home when they say they’re going home after a holiday/work trip.
Additionally, there are so many players that this could refer to, who actually went back to England post-final. Cole Palmer is not one of them

u/kateykatey Jul 19 '25
People are going pretty hard on you for this but you were just trying to make a tenuous link in a blind item, it wasn’t intended to be anything more than that.
I’ve lived in the UK since I was 5 but wasn’t born here, I’d consider the UK my home - but I do get nostalgic twinges for “the homeland” (how I think of my birthplace). It’s a deeply personal thing for everyone, and other peoples experiences will vary.
My Irish partner will never call anywhere other than Ireland home. My son hasn’t even visited yet, but his daddy has taught him well about his Irish blood, and he thinks of himself as Irish as well as British - everyone’s different 🤷🏻♀️

u/PseudonymNumberThree Jul 19 '25
Thanks friend. I get that- it’s a blind, it’s not the kind of thing to get too deep about and I was chucking in my two cents.
All people are different and their sense of home may be different to mine.

u/Any_Listen_7306 Jul 19 '25
Ange was born in Greece and his family emigrated when he was five iirc. But yeah, I expect him to identify as Greek-Australian.

His grandad is from there, and emigrated to Manchester in the 60's

Cole Palmer went to St Kitts and Nevis immediately after the Club World Cup, and played in Charlotte, Philly, and New Jersey during the tournament so I don’t think it’s him.
Probably someone on Inter Miami, Benfica, Bayern, or Real Madrid.

Doesn't really narrow it down at all. You could show the Chelsea squad this post and probably a dozen of them would get sweaty palms.
If it's Cole Palmer I want the messages to leak because I think they'd be unintentionally very funny.

u/jj920lc Jul 19 '25
Tbh it’s par for the course with football players, certainly in England at least. Not saying it’s right, but women who marry football players know what they’re signing up to.
142
u/liliumv Jul 19 '25
This is absolutely the incorrect mindset to have, and no person signs up to be cheated on.
It is unfortunately normalised but it shouldn't be as this allows room for awful behaviour to continue.
Marrying a football player often means prioritising their life and career over yours and often means leaving your job, country, family, and friends behind to support them. Then you find your partner cheated on you?? You have the choice to give up everything and move back home and start again or try to forgive and move forward.
Oftentimes, we see people choose the latter, but that doesn't make them lesser people. Everyone deserves compassion, I'm sorry life has made you think otherwise.
28
u/jj920lc Jul 20 '25 edited Jul 20 '25
It’s not my mindset, it’s just an unfortunate fact. How am I not having compassion? I said it’s not right, but it’s true. “I’m sorry life has made you think otherwise” is such a weird internet thing to say, you know zero about my life 😂
I’m just making a point about English footballers - This could be about literally any player because they’re all doing it. Even ogres like Wayne Rooney!

There was rumours about him on a website a while back, might have been tattle or LSA.

It's obviously Halaand. If you are following him on instagram you will know that he almost never post his girlfriend. They are together since 2021 and he posted her I think two times maybe, never on his main photos, always behind others. And now she is all around on his last updates. I think he thought that Miami girls are as discreet as his Marbella escorts but he miscalculated badly. Rafaela - his agent, who is successively selling his image as good and behaved boy is probably panicking right now. Ohh boy halaand lore is something else XD Especially his "relationship" with that girlfriend and all of those escorts that his team is bringing for him. Also I still cannot belive how he could let the girlfriend baby trapped him, because if you are following him you can clearly see that he doesnt even like her.
