The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

Sterling couldn't finish his dinner in an England shirt.

 

[sycophantia]

Stirling is a flying machine but rubbish on the ball, should be 3 up

 

[Carrotdude]

That’s awful again from him

 

[Parkins left foot]

Sterling really should have buried that & worried about offside afterwards

2nd chance now & not offside

He has played well other than that, but if he is in as a striker he really does have to score at some point!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Set pieces good.

Balls through to the forwards - improving.

Finishing - needs a bit of work.

All in all, deservedly ahead.

 

[Carrotdude]

Not only should he have scored but he had about 30 seconds to set up someone else then and still fucked it up

 

[AndyWolves]

1 - 0 , strong finish to the half.

Very happy with that

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Awful for 30 minutes, then England scored and came into it much more and should have scored again. Awful from Sterling, should have passed to Kane and you'd be two up

 

[nimrod]

Sterling shows his good side and weakness. great run and a constant thorn, but that final ball or finish. Could have virtually ended the game there.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Young gets an assist and Sterling is scaring them stiff.

 

[Parkins left foot]

1 - 0 , strong finish to the half.

Very happy with that

Decent, but should be more than 1 up

Stays at only 1 up then it gets far too tense in the later stages

 

[Freddeno]

Olsen have saved us so far...anything can happen

 

[Carrotdude]

Have a feeling we’ll need that second goal. Media will have a field day ripping Sterling apart if we go out now

 

[Tredman]

Need more pace to get at them, they're terrified of sterling.

Regardless of the result they should anyway. If he can’t bloody well finish then fu@k off. I detest the litttle sh!t.

Why?

 

[playtheace]

Playing with a few passengers to be honest, let's face it, Sweden are shite....France or Belgium would be 3 or 4 up
by now.
Being able to bring on RLC, Vardy and Rose and we could destroy these.

What absolute rubbish. His movement is world class and he's causing Sweden all sorts of problems, for his one actual chance the keeper closed him down very well and i think he would have saved it no matter who was in that position. Yes his finishing needs to be better but don't get how you can actually criticise him when he is the one that is dictating our attacking play.

He's also a nice lad and he's proven that despite the medias attempt to prove otherwise and come up with every negative story they could think of.

You're a lot more polite than me.

I like sterling - he causes all sorts of problems. but it’s obvious where he needs to improve. had to just roll that last one across. keeper did well initially.

have to see if we tire in last 20 like against Colombia. Could do with a second before that happens.
