Ox and Barkley are decent, but have been made to look better due to Ecuador playing a defence behind an all attack midfield. They won't get that much space and time against decent teams.
Danny Mills just said on the BBC that we are now playing a plyer who won't be going. So what purpose does that serve? Do England managers just have a genetic tic that invites abuse?
That was a silly challenge from Sterling, I don't think he meant it to be that dangerous. At the same time I can understand Valencia's reaction, as Sterling could have destroyed his World Cup dreams with that challenge.

Shin height, would be a red in any game. Regardless of the reaction.
WTF did Sterling do? Valencia clumped him in the back of the neck and then grabbed him roundbthe throat.
On TV ?
