Tbh quite enlightening by your xenophobic standards. Guess right wingers like order and cleanliness

 

And POW comments aren't xenophobic?

[Batman]

Trippier is immense

[OttawaSaint]

Christ why cant Sterling control a ball for once.

[SNSUN]

I really want Sterling to be as good as he is for City, but he’s had me saying “oh for ****s sake” a lot so far...

 

England need to keep their heads. Kane been very good so far.

[Batman]

why cant sterling be good for England ffs

[Micky]

Lots of the ball without doing anything with it.

Pretty slow neurons that Henderson.

[Saint Billy]

These drug barons are annoying me now.

[shurlock]

Henderson going down like he'd been shot.

[Cabbage_Face]

We won’t win this

If they score first, I reckon they'd be good at shuting up shop.

Was a red card all day. Doesn't matter how Henderson reacted.

What is the point of co-commentators?

[CB Fry]

Plenty of needle.

[St.Patrik]

Have Ronaldo teached the English players to do the VAR thing or .....

[Batman]

I think we have been pretty good bar testing their keeper...which is a concern

 

Sterling and Young our weak links as per.

 

Trippier and Kane excellent

[Toomer]

Should have been a red for violent conduct.

[hackedoff]

I hope I am wrong,but this is shaping up to be one of " those " games.

[Saint Billy]

Yep

[LuckyNumber7]

Sterling has been absolutely dreadful in this WC. Would rather see Rashford in.

Dele Alli been v poor

[benjii]

Low on the headbutt spectrum.

Henderson's lucky to be alive after that.

Exactly how I feel. Epic battle ending in pens. Please god no.

Nailed on. It'll go to penalties and we all know how that'll pan out

[whelk]

Opinions Scot.Many seen to want Sterling to fail. Always the scapegoat. Alli been worse IMO

[shurlock]

Colombia have offered nothing. The goal will come.

Ref is weak.

 

We should still come through this ok though.

[whelk]

They’ve been weak generally with yellows and red throughout competition.

[saint1977]

Low on the headbutt spectrum.

 

Was still a red card though and would be in any PL or FL game with a League 2 or above standard ref. This one isn’t great but Clattenburg is right (for a change, although was about Lallana as well to be fair!) the VAR ref should have re-showed him the incident.

 

The Colombian coach was niggly in pushing Sterling but England have to keep their cool. Colombia without Rodriguez is a tidy but uncreative side, only really Quintero a threat.
