If people aren’t happy to cheer on their nation, then why do they bother spewing their negativity? I really don’t get it, if I don’t support something or interest me, I don’t waste my time with it.

To be fair, I was an awful supporter of England because Hodgson wasn’t the right man for the job, and was given far too much time. But I didn’t waste my time commenting on a major corporation website spreading my negativity.

I hope Sterling doesn’t read the BBC website.

Some people thrive by being negative. If they are not moaning, life has no purpose for them. I have a cousin in Leicester who is always posting on his FB page all the bad things that keep happening in his daily life, and his friends reply, "how awful!! Hope you are OK _________." I think he feeds off this!

The Sterling stuff is beyond a joke. Whatever you think of him as a footballer is irrelevant. I was never his biggest fan, but I'm more enthusiastic now that he has Guardiola teaching him. Anyway, the abuse he gets is insane. The problem with the BBC comments pages are that it is mostly wumming Sun-reader types who comment.

Last week when Sterling defended his gun tattoo, he wrote a tweet saying how he got it done to remind himself never to pick up a gun (cos his dad was killed by one etc etc). On Sky Sports News they added the word "again" to his tweet, when they quoted it; "...remind myself to never pick up a gun again". Absolutely incredible, but then maybe it was simply a mistake by the Murdoch-owned news company. Mmmm....

Leroy Sane left out of Germany squad. That is ridiculous. I'd be very upset if I was Sane.

That’s totally insane. (See what I did there?)

Seriously though, if Germany are that well-off for goal scoring wingers that they can afford to leave a player like Sane out, they will be frighteningly good.

Sane is still only 22, he will be a permanent fixture in Germany teams from the next Euros onwards.

Looking at it on the flip side , Sane would one of the first players on the England team sheet and yet misses out even being selected in the Germany squad ... does that mean we are frighteningly bad ?
 
Sane burned Cedric for pace time and again in the last home game, great player. Had him on toast.

Anyone doing a sweepstake on here? It's the only reason I'll be slightly interested in the WC...

If not, I'll do one myself :)
