Yeah,I meant I expected him to to be one of the stars of the tournament.
I thought the same. Looking back though in the group games he was stuck out on the wing and quite isolated. There were some nice moments but no more than that.

In the Denmark game he was more central, seemed to have a bit of licence to roam. He was able to slide balls through better, have more influence, pop balls around opponents. That was the Foden I was hoping to see.

Without sitting through those group games again, why would anyone do that unless you were a coach doing analysis, then I'd say he was misused in those early games and he wasn't able to show what he can do. Hopefully he will be fit tonight and start ahead of Mount. He is the player to slide balls through and around the two italian cb. IMO of course ?
