Second contact was face. Could have been a red.

My thoughts exactly. Think it’s a red for the headbutt, but the shambles after was pathetic!

The singling out Sterling reaches new heights - Lingard has given away the ball loads , Alli isn’t even getting on the ball , Kane is dropping too deep , Young is providing no width on the outside - yet the focus is all on one player - a player who is actually looking to do something and actually looking the one most likely to create something - he is constantly providing runs , going at players and at the moment causing the most pressure to the back line.

There’s no defending Sterling’s performance in that first half - he’s been the worst England player in all three games he’s played. Surely his last game at this World Cup, no matter the result, unless he has a stormer second half. Unless Southgate shows his intent and takes him off!
Being harsh on Henderson, you lot. He had his teeth rattled together there. That’s an awful feeling. Definite red card. The Colombians are descending to some nasty little niggly crap.
England need to get another forward on for Sterling and up the intensity a little bit and they SHOULD have enough to see this through.

Haha. Now the England manager has to give him the elbow, too!
Most people believe sterling hasn’t performed for quite some time for England. That’s why he is taking stick. Kane and Lingaard have credit in the bank courtesy of recent performances.
I agree abiut Alli, imo he hasn’t performed well enough all year, unfortunately with neither lallana or ox in the squad we lack options as Loftus-Cheek hasn’t shown enough either.
Re young, we all know he won’t provide width, Gareth knows that too and still selects him. A defence you yourself have said is good eniugh reasoning for him selecting Sterling, so it should be good eniugh here.

It’s because every time he has gotten the ball he has been terrible with it. The others haven’t made the mistakes that he has

It’s still a headbutt, regardless of if chest or face.
To be fair Sterling has been consistent throughout this World Cup. Consistently poor unfortunately.
All three of the midfield pretty boy's have been anonymous going forward. 10-15 mins to sort it second half then it is time to bring on Rashford and others on.
We have to avoid getting involved in the squabbles. It is what Columbia want.

Sorry but that’s clearly incorrect- that last quick attack from Colombia was from another Lingard miss pass and then a player just going right past Ali - two players who have been worse than Sterling out there today but he is the only player getting the pelters yet he is playin better than any of the other guys in the front 4
Far too many people are focused and prob waiting for any little mistake from him to get the daggers out - his running off the ball and runs down the channels have been superb today - he has had little support from Ali behind him or the two guys out wide. Isolated a lot of times when he gets on the ball
But I guess he is the scapegoat

Sterling is great at running with ball
How about run and just square it to someone better. That would work

Not as regularly at least and others have "credit" from other decent performances so far. Alli looking dodgy and wonder if he'll be back out for the second half. Its well over 40+ appearances for Sterling and still only the two goals. He's in the side to create AND score and he's not done either.
Even their coach is joining in with the antics
We need to get sterling on the back post, 2 metres out. He's been dynamite for city from there this year 😁.
On a more serious note we need to get our full backs higher up, get width, get behind them. Everything is in front of the Columbian defence at the moment and they are comfortable.

So far from true it’s unbelievable. You’re borderline trolling now.

Andy Townsend is confused. He thinks the Republic of Ireland are playing.

This game desperately needs a goal. From either team.
