Just don't see why you'd persist with Sterling and not give Sancho the chance here. It's not quite a dead rubber but England's problem in the past has been no consequence for failure of star players, which is why the Lampard/Gerrard axis of evil was allowed to persist.

I've got a theory on that, I reckon either implicitly or explicitly successive England managers get leant on to play 'big name' players for commercial reasons.

"Yes but Fabio you've got to find a way to play Lamps and Stevie.... we've got this Pringles deal you see."

Come back Vlasic

 

[navidson]

My god Kane - Like a baby elephant

 

[kenada_blue]

The real test is if he keeps his place when Mount returns

He won't be playing now he's in isolation unless they turn around and say he can.

We'll be going home after the next round anyway

…I think he plays Sterling because he’s better.

John stones showing the benefits of playing alongside gylfi a few years ago; his pointing has come on in leaps and bounds. I dont think I've ever seen a player who is so blatantly scared of making a mistake.

Took them 22 minutes to mention Vlasic used to play for us

It would have been mentioned during the anthems if he was a former RS

Blink and you missed his Everton career TBH

Kyle walker would fit in at Everton, hits every ball backwards

Sancho has been muck for England IMO. He's behind Rashford, Grealish, Saka, Foden for any wide position for me.

 

[Azza]

DCL would have slotted that.

 

[Obes]

Must score Kane.

 

[navidson]

Rubbish that

Great ball from HMag.
