Nevermind, if this was a match that matters I'd be more upset about that VAR decision. But it's whatever.
I guess you could say this game was Liverpool’s……






































Toulouse.

I've been teasing my Liverpool friend all day with Toulouse jokes.


On a separate note, played soccer again for the 2nd time in a month after not playing for 4+ years. Sprained my achilles :(. Turf field, trying to decide if I just change to flats or turf cleats...that turf field has like no give man

Botafogo throwing away the title worse than Arsenal did

Nah it's a wrap after Palmeiras lost this Wednesday, title race was finished after that, Botafogo is still gonna win mainly because everybody else right behind is gonna fold eventually.

Is it just me or is Southgate really disrespectful to Sterling?

Nah. It's a non story for me. Sterling should use the fuel and Do a Benzema get his performance and goals up while keeping fresh and then aim for the March squad as that is the last one before the Euros shortlist. And we've seen before Waistcoat has taken senior players out and not picked them for a while. What's Waistcoat going to learn about Sterling vs Malta and North Macedonia?

Scoring vs Luton and Burnley should get him back in the England squad? Has he been better than Anthony Gordon this season? Who should be in the squad but isnt. Yeah he had a good game vs Spurs but we know the context of how that match played out. Should he be in there for Rashford if we are going off form? Yeah he been better than Rashford has this season but Rashford last performance for England was good and we know Waistcoat picks players off their last match form for England. Sterling hasnt played since Qatar and like in life the squad has moved on since then and the performances barring Ukraine away have been good. Don't need to mention the favourites names we all know them. Grealish? Different type of players and how they are used by Waistcoat. Grealish is pretty much a supersub and is asked to keep the ball more and win fouls. I guess Sterling is good at winning fouls too. You think Sterling and his seniority going to be happy coming off the bench? No. Players with that amount of caps and still in their 20's expect to start.

Sterling needs to put in big performances and help Chelsea beat the likes of Citeh Newcastle x2 Yanited and Brighton coming up over the next month. These are the games Sterling needs to be performing and scoring and not against Luton Burnley of the World.

I get you and I pretty much agree. But Sterling has probably been England's best player under Southgate. So even when he's off form he doesnt even get the "never let England down" tax the Maguires and Kalvin Philips get? This is like 4th squads he has not been picked for.

Let's not forget Sterling was in poor form for England before the Euros and Waistcoat stuck by him. When many coaches would of dropped him and Sterling rewarded him with the confidence shown. Sterling got his never let England down tax back then. But that is 2 years ago things have changed. New players have come thru and Sterling form has dropped off. Has Sterling really performed for England post the Euros? Saka has over taken him in importance Bellingham has as well. So England attack is down to one position the LW. Where you have Rashford Foden Maddison Grealish. Then you have Eze and Gordon. Foden and Madders can play elsewhere but they've all played LW recently for England.

The March and June squads were related to his hamstring and Sterling wanted to get himself right I believe that's the reason for missing in June. Especially after a poor season he had. The real problem is Sterlings best position is also England's strongest along with RB. Slabhead and Phillips get picked because the depth is weaker at CB and DM/6. JWP has been more disrespected than Sterling has been about being left out due to the lack of depth in CM. But then again where do you really play JWP? While he is a great long passer he isn't really a directing type of midfielder which England need. And he's more attacking than defensive. If he could control a midfield he wouldn't be at West Ham he would be at higher level club. When people want him in squad because he can take a set piece :dead: what about the rest of his game. This isn't NFL or Field Hockey where you can sub/rotate the kicker/penalty taker in and out.
