What a brilliant article from our player of the tournament. The current bunch of lads seem a million miles away from the arrogant white suit brigade of the 90s. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/articles/raheem-sterling-england-it-was-all-a-dream
Or they are just more skilfully coached in hiding it these day... #120kaweek Really getting down with da kids..
Fantastic article, and what a tough upbringing. Had no idea his dad was murdered. And his mum and sister sacrificed a lot for him to be where he is today. Heartwarming stuff.
I did a bit of digging and found this article by the couple that looked after him during his time at Liverpool, a nice read https://www.itv.com/news/2021-07-02...watched-the-lovely-boy-become-an-england-hero
I read that article when it originally came out and always point people who have a weird problem with Sterling towards it.
People said he shouldn't have gone and were on his back before a ball was kicked in these euros. For me he's silenced his critics and been player of the tournament great again last night was a nightmare for Denmark and even in extra time was still running his blood to water asif it was the 1st minute. Had alot of unfair criticism throughout his career especially from the sun newspaper. Glad he's had a good tournament.
Proper player Sterling. If Jack Grealish had done 10% of what Sterling has done this tournament, people would have been absolutely creaming their pants.
Really come of age this tournament- he was in and out of team at City last year and there was talk of him being used as part of the deal for Harry Kane- can't get rid now surely
I thought he played well in the few Man City games I saw on TV. Didn't really get why everyone had such a downer on him before the tournament.
A victim of his own success I would think. He hit such heights in previous seasons but didn’t quite reach them this year
He's been brilliant all through this tournament - really impressed how hard he's worked defensively, he doesn't just flounce around when we're out of possession. Hope he gets a Euro winner's medal to show for it.
