As I have said a number of times, I am a fan of Sterling. He has to score or set up others to score though, it really is that simple. He was a constant threat to Sweden last night, but there was no end product.

More like to have a big name if he is Lithuanian or Polish I would have thought rather than Spanish.

'Bounced on by chav' I don't believe is amongst the legit list of accepted damage reasons.

When Russia went 1 up I did say to the missus 'Looks like it is going to Salisbury vs Novichok in the semi final.' She was not best pleased.

Well that's it. He surely knows his finishing is poor. That has to form part of his mindset. At Man City he gets loads of chances set up on a plate for him from just a few yards out. For England he has to realise he is much less likely to get that and he should adjust his game accordingly and...

We still need to blame Sisu, Fisher, Joy, Robins and Jim the gateman though. Makes us feel better.

33/1. Think I had 30 quid on him.

Interesting to note, but slightly unfair on the Yanks having to play two teams at once.

Anyone can creep and sucker up after the event, Somerset. ;)

1,400 bet on England winning.

Or is it??

Same here. Have had a good run. I had Stones first scorer against Panama, Kane first scorer against Colombia, Maguire first scorer last night and also had England to win 2-0, Russia to draw and put a shed load on England simply winning.

Totally regretting it now and kicking myself for buying one and will be so until we replace him and then I will be as happy as Larry. So guessing I will be full of rage and anger and fury for about a week.

Why didn't he want to get on the plane with the others? Doesn't make sense for him to turn up at the airport, but then decide to stay.

Yeah, but apart from that, what have open play ever done for us?

We obviously come from different backgrounds.

If he keeps playing and keeps missing gilt-edged chances it will cost us. That's one thing I don't get with him. He knows his finishing isn't great, he knows he hasn't scored for an age for England and knows the pressure is on him. Yet when he tried to go round the keeper and then got the ball...

Didn't know that. As I said earlier in this thread, if he is not taking his chances, he has at least to make sure he is making chances for others.

I voted England, but did have Belgium to get to the final in the predictor thread. I can well see the Belgians beating France. That could be a cracking match.
