That Russia defense is slow and poor centrally, if they go through they might collect boat loads from England’s fast front line. That said Sterling is super useless in front of goal so will keep them in it.

:laugh: To be fair though the boys did claw back in the Argentina match only to concede stupidly when all they needed to do was manage the game until the blast of the final whistle.

Sterling's primary role in this team is to unsettle defenses. Leave the goals to Kane and Lingard.

Croatia should just play their passing game.

They can win this.

I hope SE defenders can learn how to not concede set pieces in your own half of the box.

This competency shall be graded before the next tournament.

Russia would not have been able to hande Musa's speed especially in the second half.

Russia medicine pass African

If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

It seems the Russians are getting tired. They are being PINNED in their own half - now.
