    I especially liked the way he was shouting at Mandzukic on the floor for daring to get injured

    Again, I disagree. Look at the areas where he is receiving the ball - in or near the box, usually with two men on him. So of course his control and distribution is going to look poor in statistical terms, because he he is doing all that under intense pressure.

    He does scare decent opponents, I'm 100% convinced of that.

    I actually shouted "spit on him", at that point.

    The actor sent a tweet to Pickford...

    'This Is England' star Thomas Turgoose sending him a message: "Ay @JPickford1 if we win the World Cup can I play you the bioepic please ?"

    This is him now...

    Yeah well, fair enough. We have to agree to disagree though as I think that he cost us goals and didn't actually create or score a single one throughout.

    Was a waste of a shirt to be honest.

    I couldn't fault his effort mind, he worked hard.

    I'm not having a go in that respect at all, it's just his end product was gash.

    But since getting out of the group, penalty against Colombia aside you could equally say that of Harry Kane (I wouldn't, btw. But you could).

    Kane scored goals though, Sterling didn't.


    I fully agree that Kane did the sum total of **** all during the Sweden and Croatia games though.

    Sterling does a job occupying defenders. But his decision making and final ball are woeful.

    That said, he probably would have scored that tap in if Kane had squared it to him last night.

    He never seems to be able to sort his feet out to me.

    I don't think Harry Kane will be top of Real Madrid's shopping list for a striker right now ...

    Dier didn't do anything for me. Kane bagged 6 and counting but I think he's been average. Alli played like he did for Spurs at the beginning of last season, like he's not focused enough. I think he spends too much effort looking for fights...Trippier can't be faulted he went a level up in his performances and Rose didnt get a chance.
