Sterling makes Higuain look like Messi...

I have never seen a striker so lost and confused in the box with just the keeper to beat...

England playing him as a CF baffles the shyt out of me. He hasn't been good in that position all tournament, why does Southgate think he'll start being good now?

Sterling plays soccer like the point of it is to force corner kicks.

I’m going to have to complain to the bbc, I pay for this fukking shyt stain of a channel and they’re coverage isn’t embarrassingly biased.

Scottish and Irish coverage is never this sickening because we actually have a bit of professionalism and self control.

If the roof fell in on that studio I wouldn’t be unhappy.

you just know there are cacs screaming racial slurs at the TV screen right now

John Terry in the cut.

Sterlings creative play has been so good but his end product was garbage

Strangely, that has been Achilles heel for most of his career apart from the 17/18 season where he scored 20+ goals for Man City. He seems to be reverting back to the Sterling of old.

Sterling gets all the criticism but he's been way more positive than Ali

Alli doesn't look fit tbh. But yeah he hasn't looked great. I did say after the Colombia game that RLC should start instead and have him off the bench.

Southgate has to get some credit for giving Sterling confidence after not the strongest of games in the opening 2 matches. People wanted Rashford in before and after the tournament started. Southgate realised that what Sterling needed was to feel trusted and that faith has shown in Sterling's performances vs Colombia and in the first half of today's game.

Now if only Sterling could improve his decision making and composure and he would be unstoppable, because his movement is excellent. Yes he has the pace, but he knows how to use that pace effectively.

Sterling should of buried that chance and should of passed it to Kane on the second ball after the chance became more difficult.

Sterling doesn't have that instinct

Breh is too shook (probably due to English media pressure). He just don't want to pull the trigger

Might as well bring on Rashford despite his miss in the last match. He's not afraid to have a go

nikka don't wanna score thats Harry Kanes job, the rest of the team are just tools that Harry Kane uses to score goals

 

[Rell Lauren]

Sweden are gonna score in the second half....can tell

All hell would break loose if that not only happened, but England loses. The way Sweden plays, Sterling could have ended the game in the first half. Their pace is too slow to come back from three down.

Has he even scored in this tournament? I rate everything else he does as an attacker, but the final ball is just abysmal, you can't deny this

He could be on his way to a hat trick right now if he had the heart to finish breh

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

Whoa Wrighty and Kelly Smith almost had a Brazzers moment.
