He has a lot of pressure which we blame on the media but the fans equally pressure him. Everyone I know either loves or hates him.
I think he's quality and hope he can produce it for England. Our closest player to world class imo, after Kane obviously.
Just hope he isn't another Rooney. World Class for club and poor for country.
The funny thing is that Sterling got loads of support before the WC after the tabloid controversy over the gun tattoo, but that completely evaporated after the first game!
3-1 to England...just said on the radio that England fans will be outnumbered by Panama (as they were by Tunisia)....would never of happened anywhere else in Europe surely?
Can't see any danger for this game and would expect a +2 goal margin. Get the goals and then make some subs to just close the game out. Not expecting fireworks
Last chance for Stirling in this world cup for me (as a starter I mean) quite right to keep him in the side considering the opposition - it's worth remembering if he starts firing he could be a real asset to the team, but if he is not up to it then today will show it against this level of opposition.
I'm staying positive I think Stirling scores today to quieten the doubters. The stage is set for it really.

Sterling scoring against Panama is not going to quieten the doubters. And quite rightly so, it's Panama. And historically he has been shite for England.

Disagree. It will absolutely quieten them. Not silence them completely of course - I would still expect plenty of "he's still crap" and "it's only Panama" comments, just like if he had scored against Tunisia it would have been "it's only Tunisia" because it's England and there always has to be a scapegoat. My point is it will buy him some more time.

You’d say its only Panama if it was friendly. Not in a World Cup tournament.
It's really interesting that about three times now "Englands missed chances" has been mentioned - you'd think England are the only team in the tournament to miss chances- did anyone watch the Brazil game the other day they missed a hatful! Not even mentioned.

Get well soon
Confirmed that Ericsson shackled Rio compared to Hoddle who encouraged him to run with the ball.
We need an early goal to settle us and to make them come and attack us or at least show some intent
Sterling needs to start, he was positive and getting in the right areas last week he just needs an end product and all is well
