World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 24 (7 July)

[Col_M]

Why is Kane in the centre mid stroking passes around when he should be up front?

Cos no one else is doing it and he wants to touch the ball.

Had my French family over last week. They are actually really impressed with English commentary and football highlights. Continental versions can be more emotional than factual.

The Norwegian commentators are generally very good but they have a tendency to cheer a bit too much for Sweden, Denmark and England, in that order. So Sweden get the nod over England now.

Plus this is on NRK, the BBC equivalent where the commentators pretty much only have the national cup final and the major tournaments. So they're nowhere near as good as those who have the PL, CL or top division rights

What is the point of Sterling ? He runs fast with the ball but achieves nothing .

 

[Marty]

I kind of like that in the WC the commentators can do that tbh

I don't like it when it's not your own nation. Cheer on Norway all they want, but they're not playing. Should be impartial towards everyone else.

 

[Johnny J]

Please take Sterling off. Please.

I'm starting to wonder if he had got some kind of medical problem. There must be some reason he's playing where he is.

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

Sterling's just not good enough, Kane wanted that back post so he hits it knee high

This is all they see, and think it's enough. For all Southgates much discussed progression, we still resort to thinking pace =good.

 

[Chinaspur]

Maguire having a stunner

 

[SdB]

ah Lingard is still on the pitch

He doesn't look anything like the player that plays for us week in, week out.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Kane needs to give Sterling a rocket for his greedy play

Irony
