World Cup 2018

[Slime]

Wow - One whole goal - so can you remind us how Rashford did in the last game with his chances ? Do you remember when he was one on one and didnt even hit the target. So why will he do better when he has struggled all season long with his finishing

And of course nothing to do with Sterling being a City player and Rashford being a Utd player is it

Sterling has played very well yet some still want to stick the knife in - guess when it comes to supporting England its not about getting behind all the players when they are playing and winning. I do think it was yourself who was suggesting that Sterling could be at fault for England not getting into the semi finals - great support

Hey, you asked the question.
3 goals in 20 is a whole lot better than 2 in 40 odd.
You probably won't allow yourself to accept this, but I really want Sterling to play well because, unlike you, I'm an England supporter ...................... I want them all to play well.
The fact is that he just doesn't, something else you won't allow yourself to accept.

Sterling yet again the worst player on the pitch for England. But he’ll start the semi.

Are you allowed to say that?

Complete garbage.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Kane, once again has had no service but has been immense. Another cracking shift.

Still dreaming of a Belgium v England final...

But Sterling stood in the centre circle!
I despair, how can you not see Sterlings workrate?

 

[Deleted member 18588]

Well that was confirmed. Vardy was not a possible sub, not even in his kit

 

[Kellfire]

Complete garbage.

Yes. He was. Making runs isn’t a reason to pick anyone. No end product. Loses the ball constantly. No composure. Awful.

If you put me on the pitch for Northern Ireland, I’d work harder than anyone. But I’d be crap.

What did Kane do? Walker?
They did their job, just like Sterling.

Back to the game
Pickford is the one that is getting England into the Semi Finals - brilliant saves again

Rashford on - will prob score :rofl:

Phillip you really need to chill out.
No one is sticking the knife in on Sterling.
He’s not having a great tournament,that is a fact.
I’m sure we all hoped that he would tare the tournament up,but he’s been poor upto now.
So as Alli,yet you don’t seem to jump to his defence if he gets any negative comments.

 

[Deleted member 16999]

The whole England squad has been immense, if it ends in the semi final, hopefully not, so be it, but it’s been great to see, lot of faith has been restored.
Cheers Southgate.

 

[pokerjoke]

Can you imagine the reaction from certain posters had an Everton fan picked Pickford. :rofl:

Never thought of that.
Must admit Henderson,Maguire,Pickford awesome.
The win even more so

 

[Hobbit]

They did their job, just like Sterling.

:thup::thup:

You can’t change that team. The last two games have been superb for England.

Sterling’s confidence is obviously returning. He’s going past players again.

I have criticised him in the past but today I would admit he was excellent.

As for MOTM it could be any one of four or five for me. Pickford, Trippier, Henderson, Maguire or Lingard but none of them had a poor game.

 

[Bunkermagnet]

More pace than Sterling! Just who might there be?

As I said his finishing has been abysmal but his pace is terrifying their back line.

I mean pace of play and passing across the team. When we play quick we create chances, when we play slow or "measured" we go nowhere.

 

[bluewolf]

Englands best game so far. In complete control for long spells. Pickford cleaning up when Sweden had chances. McGuire was outstanding, as was Henderson, Walker and Trippier.

Whatever happens next, England have gone further than anyone thought possible. Only a real small minded pillock would criticise now.

 

[AmandaJR]

But even if it creates a corner, or a free kick, he’s terrifying them with his runs and his determination is beyond boundaries, he’s giving it his all, and that will do for me in this kind of game, as now this game will be so open which will suit England more.

Agreed. No Sterling fan here - even as a City fan. But so often he has been the out ball for England and held the ball and given us options. He's not got a quality touch or composure BUT he never ever stops having the courage to put himself in a position to possibly fail. Lingard was running around doing nowt much - Sterling was running around into space and scaring the defence and giving us chances. He's gone up in my estimations this world cup and would take him as a starter ahead of Rashford any day.
