He was headed down before contact. That’s his trademark. He does sometimes get the contact he was looking for, but after he’s committed to ground.

Rice is smart about picking his spots, but he's made a few really great runs with the ball in build-up play.
Don’t they have Bastoni on the bench? My solution is more of a fifa solution that a manager won’t do in the final of a major tournament but teams are going to have to discover or rediscover a way to attack this formation because it is proving very effective
Right. The card is for embellishment. There was contact but Sterling made it look like he got tackled by an NFL player.
Given Sterling’s history not sure why he gets any benefit-of-the-doubt
Feel like a lot of teams might cargo-cult their way into disaster this way because they don't actually have 3 reliable CBs and will get exploited by teams throwing extra guys down the middle against them
Not a dive. But if it is, and the guy got a yellow for it, then you have the reason why players go to ground. But again, he got fouled.
Imo England are inviting far too much pressure now. It’s a very defensive system but they are really risking a lot. Mount should come off for fresh legs like Saka or Sancho
Agree, they are defending too deep. They should be defending on the edge of their area, not deep inside it.
Pickford has started the time-wasting with 29 minutes left...They might survive but England seems to be way too content with their current lead.
Kane seemed so confused on that throw in! Multiple that 4-5 seconds by 15 attempts and you’re in business.
England are playing with fire being satisfied with the one goal and hanging back, he said as that goal was scored.
Mancinis assistant looks like such a caricature it’s cracking me up.
England played with fire and lost. A lot of work for them to do here now
