Now usually I like Ian Wright (even though ex-goner) and his infectious passion for England in particular, but think he's wrong to bring race into it here.
Personally for me, Sterling pisses me off as he is so crap for England and yet suddenly a World Beater when playing for City again this season.
Yes I know City probably have a better quality players around him, but that doesn't excuse some of the opportunities he completely fluffed during the World Cup.
And the media probably did play a part as have been hammering him in recent times but he's never been that much kop for England really tbh even before they started sectioning him out more (and likes of Rooney, Terry, going back further Gazza, have all had their own share really).
