He misses too many good opportunities that's why. He must even know when he kicks the ball the shots not going to be on target. Happens so may times over and over again.
Andrew Ridgers If you look at his England stats he actually has a lot of assists. Personally I think Sterling should serve a deeper more creative role getting counter attacks started and Vardy should take his spot up front alongside Kane.
Quake: Destroyer of worlds. I get that he misses chances and it’s frustrating. I’m a United fan, but what’s constantly beating him down going to do? Why not just get behind the lad? He’s one of England’s best players and has had his best season by far
Jordan Gunnell. I agree but still, that sideways square ball was so minuscule could Sterling's "contribution" honestly, truthfully be counted? Poor keeping or not, Kane still had it all to do, in my view.
I hate these commentators. They can't seem to praise Sterling for anything, yes his finishing needs improvement, but he adds so much to our team with his pace and positive runs towards goal.
Yes he does create problems with his pace and positive runs but it's his final product that lets him down. He severally lacks awareness in some situations especially when he plays in an England Shirt
Only high point in this clip for Nigeria was the goal. What about all those anxious moments in the second half? If we didn’t have the goal, the highlight would have been all about England.
😂 Pickford for that goal! Did the same thing mirrored! Went one way the ball goes the other flops to his side. He again moves one way the ball went the other and he flops to side.😂
Lmao even the commentary minates sterling as well . "Story of his finishing with england " . Any other player they prob go "unlucky , didnt get the dink right " . Feels bad man .
Palf But up until now he has never been the vocal point of our attack. He was operating as a winger, for him to play in a way where he would score he would have to be selfish.
So many people taking a friendly so seriously Neither team is going to give 100% because they don't want to get injured just before the world cup! It was a nice little nothing game
Bruno Bortoli don't judge us by how we do in friendlies because if you did you'll see we don't tend to lose no matter our opponents and if we do it's not by much Honestly it's nice to be at the world cup unlike some other teams like Italy and Holland who failed to
Pyro91 Yes, you deserved to be in the WC. But my point here is the lack of technical ability of this team, the players apart from some of them (sterling, kane, vardy..) appears to be "rock players", it's kinda boring.
Ky Mono do you even watch football or just read the news rashford has played in like 50 of Man Utd pls 53games and your telling m he hasn’t played regularly
Literally sterling didnt really have clear cut chances at the commentators just dig into him. Those were not easy chances. One from a tight angle with few would score and one on his weaker foot with bodies in the way. I dont get why they are so against him
England played an alright game overall, which is the first time I've feld saying that since we beat Scotland 3-0 almost two years ago and we created a lot of chances. When people say they no experience I kinda laugh because what has prior experience done for us in recent World Cups?
Jane Overton no no no no no that team needs Jesse Lingard in. His movement, coming deep and finding space in between midfield and attack is crucial. Loftus- cheek will be a good player to come off from the bench but we need both dele and lingard on the pitch to give England as much creativity as possible.
The Joker ah, 'football' UA-cam comments in the era of the Alt-right. 9 of the 14 French players named for the 2006 World Cup Final were black you idiot. This is not really the sort of comments section for you, I could give you some links to some videos where you'd be more at home.
Matt in slow motion it looks bad for the keeper but he intentionally hit it hard and low. Unexpected and very hard for the keeper to get down quick enough.
DJ Time 😂😂😂 your funny mate we got no creative midfielders and the defence is suspect stones is scared the teams got no experience and wtf is delli alli and lingard doing tell me what they did yesterday
Chris Mutombo The thin is Burnley play a very defensive style of football, where all defenders look better than they are. Don't know what'll happen if he plays 3 at the back.
to Nigerian fans, why would Alli pick Nigeria over England, his dad who left a week before he was born, so has no connection with your country or would he pick the country he was born and raised? I'm surprised you haven't gone after barkley who could've played for you because of his grand parents! No hate but it's a personal choice for the player to make!
First of all his dad never left him you need to reread the story behind why he came back to the UK. As a Nigerian I personally couldn't care less who he plays for it's his choice obviously it would be good if he played for Nigeria but can't hold that against him..
OG he said he doesn't have Alli on his back because he has no connection with his dad's name, that's why it says DELE, sorry man, put the link for that photo tho because that doesn't make sense
It was nice to see Alli playmaking and really get the offence going... but he was pretty much the only one who could consistently pick out good passes. I would call up Shelvey to have at at least one more playmaker in the squad because he is an excellent passer of the ball. Also I liked the confidence of Trippier. He's taking all the set pieces very well and has a nice understanding with Walker. England should focus more on keeping the ball, slowing the tempo and getting some easy chances from set pieces and wing backs to limit counter attacks of their opponents.
Shelvey is the last. Technically very poor and he mostly hit the.ball.high and hard and suits championship. There r players like wilshere winks barklely and will hughes around if available and shelvey can be forgotten now
Henderson can't pass forwards... especially his long balls are far to often inaccurate and unnecessary. I'm judging him purely by his performances in the England shirt. I would keep both of them (Henderson, Shelvey) and send home Welbeck. Shelvey would bring something new to the team and as I said he is an excellent passer. Way more useful than Welbeck who shouldn't even be in the squad because Vardy is a much better backup striker and realistically the only one who should get minutes alongside Kane.
Sterling can’t finish without the truly world class foreign players around him, no decent centre half’s, young unknown keeper, know proper left winger, one dimensional tactics, joke of a manager . Roll on the World Cup
Na ram mate he's got 23 goals this season in 46 that's a goal every other game + Walcott had over 100 goals for Arsenal I would actually have taken Walcott thought he had a good end to the season with Everton
Is there really need for the comment “that’s the story of sterling in an England shirt”. If that was harry Kane they would be screaming oh and Kane has done all he can couldn’t get there in time. I personally rate raheem sterling.
Bunny in the Box yes that is true. But he doesn’t deserve the stick he gets. Trippier not scoring the free kick you don’t hear the commentators saying as usual trippier doesn’t score yet again. When he does well they will praise him but as soon as he does something we don’t want him to do he will get slated again. Name another player that gets slated more or the same amount than him?
I didn't rate Sterling at Liverpool and I still don't rate him now. His finishing sucks, he should pass the ball more instead of shooting. You can't compare Sterling to Kane come on dude. Kane scores for fun, Sterling needs some luck to score.
Ya Donovan isn't Trippier a defender? You don't exactly expect everything he touches to fly in the net. Sterlings problem was doing a big time money deal to city in 2015. I remember when it happened, I said now there is going to be a lot of pressure on him to live up to that transfer and everyone's expectations of him. Unfortunately for England he has not lived up to that. 4 goals in how many years? You wonder why people are giving him stick, it's his own fault.
Tom Smith big moves to Man City? Has John Stones proved he’s worth what was it £50M? Raheem Sterling gets more stick for doing things a lot of footballers do. His car wasn’t sparkling clean and it was front page paper news. Yes his goal record isn’t great but he doesn’t deserve the amount of stick he gets. I’m not even a Man City fan but I don’t think he deserves it.
Again typical England even the highlights are in their favour, check the statistics both shots taken, shots on target, shots off target were all equal. Yet they only showed Nigeria’s goal, the English commentators were slandering Nigeria in the first half, one even said that England are just a different class 😂😂. They were completely rattled second half, COMPLETELY!!! Alex Iwobi and Mikel looked amazing, not one English midfielder could match them for technical ability. England and Nigeria have equal chance of doing well in the World Cup.
bad4ever2010 who cares they are uncompetitive friendlies! We have already beaten Both Poland and Argentina in friendlies this year! These friendly games are set up to test drive how you will set up in the REAL games! You know nothing! Go to bed!
Going into a World Cup, a win is all that matters. Get the momentum going. I really hope the English media actually supports them even if they slip up a wee bit...and that's coming from a Scotsman! I shall support England all the way! ( to about the semifinals then I'll start to worry.)
We dominated first half but when they change their formation, we struggled but that's what friendlys are for. I don't care about what anyone says, we can be dangerous against ANYONE! The defence worrys me, stones had some ropey moments but we have a massive offensive threat, plus leave sterling alone, apart from his finishing, he was good, don't drop him
Martin Tyler and Stewart Robson are not a dream team. Why is your decision to have Fox Sports commentary instead of Clive Tyldesley and Glenn Hoddle's ITV commentary. It makes it like Sky Sports are broadcasting the game. Put ITV commentary on Thursday's match vs Costa Rica or it's game over for Martin.
Michael owens goal v argentina 1998 alone was infinitely more pleasurable than any england win during the last 5 years at least, or maybe even since he retired. And we lost that game. Says it all
About consolation. That is biased because Nigeria scored straight after half time and dominated the whole of the second half. So explain to me how it was a consolation. Also Nigeria will probably make it further than England
Nigeria won't get out the group don't let the kit overly gass you bigman, they'll finish bottom Argentina and Croatia through even Iceland are more of a team than Nigeria
SK We didn't play our full first team and we will iron out our mistakes. Iceland is poor and will probably lose to us as will Croatia which are a team of bottlers.
yourenotinthecircle Actually I've watched quite a lot of him and while he has improved a lot and is definitely one of our better players, the number of goals he's scored doesn't truly represent his finishing abilities. At city he was given so many tap ins it's actually incredible. Plus he's on a seriously worrying goal drought for England which doesn't fill me with confidence.
Shivam Chadha Yeah his finishing is still kinda dead, not a natural finisher at all. We could've lost heavily if he finished those chances in the Manchester derby tbh.
Crash Bandicoot The fact he actually manages to miss tap ins and 1v1s as well which makes it even worse. Hope he has a good world cup though, for England's sake.
Tosin Ojo so what you're saying is that the colour of someones skin affects the legitimacy of what they say? It cannot be completely disproved that it is the case just the same as it cannot be conclusively proven that it is motivated by racism(Although I chose to not believe that it is)
This was a good performance by England . Well the 1st half was This team is a better team than the other England teams southgate has chosen . Here is what I would say needs to improve : 1. Young slows England's play down . Rose must start 2. I would play walker . Maguire and Cahill. Stones is not consistent enough. 3. Play either dier or Henderson both are not particular good or consistent . Dier is a better passer and a better presence , but I suppose Henderson does things well as well .
There is no better platform to shine in da world of football then WC...Harry Kane if u belong in that bracket.The time has come.....Let's find out who he is n who he isn't.
We were great until Nigeria scored and changed their formation, which is worrying! We were playing with creative freedom until they scored and then everyone seemed scared to make a creative risky pass. Too much hogging the sidelines walking and passing and losing the ball. Happy enough overall but it is a worry that when they matched our system we couldn't seem to get through them. I liked Alli and Lingards link up play and think if they stayed on when welbeck and rsshford came on we would have probably had a better end to the game. As a prediction I think quarter finals is possible, we are a better side then Poland if we do end up coming up against them but actually showing it on the day is a different story.
Naija always struggle with European Nations at the World Cup, having been sent packing by these European Nations(Italy, Denmark, Greece etc) and this just proves that the technical crew needs to work harder in forging a formidable defense cause with what I saw in the match, our defense was not solid and we may be ousted in the first round if they ignore to do what is necessary! All in all, Naija has lost twice in our friendlies with the Three Lions, na God go help us for Russia!
Jesus i swear people have a thing for Sterling, even the commentator is beating him down. Give the lad some supports ffs
He misses too many good opportunities that's why. He must even know when he kicks the ball the shots not going to be on target. Happens so may times over and over again.
Andrew Ridgers If you look at his England stats he actually has a lot of assists. Personally I think Sterling should serve a deeper more creative role getting counter attacks started and Vardy should take his spot up front alongside Kane.
Quake: Destroyer of worlds. I get that he misses chances and it’s frustrating. I’m a United fan, but what’s constantly beating him down going to do? Why not just get behind the lad? He’s one of England’s best players and has had his best season by far
Yeah, i would love to see Vardy play a more regular role. He's the opposite to Sterling. Give him an opportunity and he scores.
He should be more of a midfielder, he should have the role inesta had in Barca. That role would fit him
The Nigeria kits 🔥
Isak Pettersson best in tournament 😀
beautiful!
Gotta love Nigeria’s support
I’m English but let’s be honest the real winners were Nigeria with that awesome kit
Caspian Man Predator and awesome second half too
Quake: Destroyer of worlds No one care’s
Quake: Destroyer of worlds talking about the English kit is better, while This comment is clearly about the Nigerian one. SMH!
Quake: Destroyer of worlds sorry but comparing England’s TRAINING kit to Nigeria’s match kit is like comparing one pound to one naira 🤦🏾♂️😂
Nogman 99 3rd all these 3rd world peasants jizzing over a jersey they can't afford😂😂😂😂
Alex Iwobi...
I'm proud of you.
Can't stop thinking about that stunning goal honestly...
Alex Iwobi Man of the match
The commentator says “Sterling's first statistic of the evening is a yellow card” forgetting his assist for the second goal???
You seriously count that as an assist? Behave.
Clearly set ups Kane lmao
Jordan Gunnell. He squared it like six inches to the left. Hardly an assist. Kane still had to do 90% of the work.
The keeper done 90% of the work for Kane. Poor keeping, ball goes through him.
Jordan Gunnell. I agree but still, that sideways square ball was so minuscule could Sterling's "contribution" honestly, truthfully be counted? Poor keeping or not, Kane still had it all to do, in my view.
Alex scored a goal, nice one
Nigeria ALWAYS have the best kits!
LETS GO IWOBI
big Jimbo hyde if u watch him with Nigeria he is fire m8 fyi
big Jimbo hyde also Nigeria isnt as good as England 2
I don't know why everyone's angry in the comments section
Was a good game of football,
England with the 1st half
NIGERIA with the 2nd.
We move...😊😊
I hate these commentators. They can't seem to praise Sterling for anything, yes his finishing needs improvement, but he adds so much to our team with his pace and positive runs towards goal.
Yes he does create problems with his pace and positive runs but it's his final product that lets him down. He severally lacks awareness in some situations especially when he plays in an England Shirt
impressed with iwobi in that deeper role
Iwobi in 1 game for Nigeria performed better than he did in the entire 2017/18 season for Arsenal
Much Loser he is different class for Nigeria
Only high point in this clip for Nigeria was the goal. What about all those anxious moments in the second half? If we didn’t have the goal, the highlight would have been all about England.
Iheanacho,Ndidi and Musa all benched and England still struggled
We did not play are best team
Lee Hopp totally u English idiot.
I wouldnt say we struggled but we couldnt finish our dinner.
Brillynt 1 struggled??🤣
@@moxitivevfx5909 I'm Nigerian and there was no need for your comment
Alex Iowbi! He score's when he wants!!

ProFormance Global, can't use proper grammar
Guy Griffiths I skipped that day at sckool 🍆
Negativity is embarrassing, get behind the boys
Nigeria for everything na wao
Kane has to bag 5/6 for England to reach the quarters
SK Kane gets 6 and England reached the Semi Finals.
reubz1123 alright time traveller calm down
Lmao even the commentary minates sterling as well . "Story of his finishing with england " . Any other player they prob go "unlucky , didnt get the dink right " . Feels bad man .
NIT 7N He's scored 2 goals in 38 games for england
Don't think it's the same, he actually can't score for England
Palf But up until now he has never been the vocal point of our attack. He was operating as a winger, for him to play in a way where he would score he would have to be selfish.
NIT 7N to be fair he puts the ball over the bar every time he shoots in an England top.
He's bad at 1 on 1n's
Harry kane looking good to have a go at the WC
rammsteww2 Clinical Kane
Hope he does but think Henderson should've been captain might get to Kane ygm
Kane is class.
rammsteww2 Best striker in the world.
Island Vybz Germany is going to toilet
england is improved so much ....play well in world cup
They've got rid of the Dead Weight, hence why rooney etc are not in the squad. Fresh legs will do us well ^_^ we wont win but we'll get further.
santa maria yeah
So many people taking a friendly so seriously
Neither team is going to give 100% because they don't want to get injured just before the world cup!
It was a nice little nothing game
Even so, England players seems to not have any ability or creativity to make something, apart from the strikers.
Bruno Bortoli don't judge us by how we do in friendlies because if you did you'll see we don't tend to lose no matter our opponents and if we do it's not by much
Honestly it's nice to be at the world cup unlike some other teams like Italy and Holland who failed to
Bruno Bortoli Still wondering why they left out Wilshere 🤔
Pyro91 Yes, you deserved to be in the WC. But my point here is the lack of technical ability of this team, the players apart from some of them (sterling, kane, vardy..) appears to be "rock players", it's kinda boring.
Yes ChapZ, he is one of the fews who can make a dribble or something creative in that midfield, at my point of view
Why did the keeper get into a fight after iwobi's goal.
02johncool Pickford held the ball and Nigeria wanted to restart the Play again
Cos hes a typical white boy
Mr Shadow and you’re probably a typical racist black boy
@@mrshadow2406 bit racist
MarcusPlier11 could show him some violent crime stats
i really ike alex ehobey born in england he is playing for the mother land afrrica
They bring Welbeck and Rashford on instead of vardy. Vardy got more goals than both of them combined this season
Seph conerlee I think Southgate doesn't want to use vardy as he wants his strikers to drop and help the team build and vardy is a very poor passer.
It's a friendly, he'll definitely play next game at Elland Rd.
Vardy has nothing to prove while Welbeck just return to national team and Rashford he didn’t play regularly in club level!
Ky Mono do you even watch football or just read the news rashford has played in like 50 of Man Utd pls 53games and your telling m he hasn’t played regularly
Tjay Jefferies in early season he always sub off and come off the bench between Martial and since Alexis arrived his playing time decrease!
Literally sterling didnt really have clear cut chances at the commentators just dig into him. Those were not easy chances. One from a tight angle with few would score and one on his weaker foot with bodies in the way. I dont get why they are so against him
PrezidentWill. He's never been a natural finisher.
Ashley Young only having one foot, bit annoying
Solomon Childs His right foot is just for walking on.
He's still our best defensive option for left back
You know he is right footed, right?
YA2Skillz Just guessed because most left-backs are left footed.
DJ Time our best left back is rose
What happened to Nigeria's highlights in the first half?
England played an alright game overall, which is the first time I've feld saying that since we beat Scotland 3-0 almost two years ago and we created a lot of chances. When people say they no experience I kinda laugh because what has prior experience done for us in recent World Cups?
Great first half. Poor second half
Start Loftus-Cheek.
Pls no
He was poor.
He kept getting found out of position, and lost the ball a few times, good player but needs more experience, maybe next tourney.
Pickford
Walker Stones Cahill
Dier
Trippier Ali Loftus Cheek Young
Sterling
Kane
Jane Overton no no no no no that team needs Jesse Lingard in. His movement, coming deep and finding space in between midfield and attack is crucial. Loftus- cheek will be a good player to come off from the bench but we need both dele and lingard on the pitch to give England as much creativity as possible.
I have never seen an England team so untrusted like this. I think this will be the best England performance in a WC in recent decades.
Urias Wesclei WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Discuss that's why we'll lose... Too many black players
The Joker that just racist
The Joker ah, 'football' UA-cam comments in the era of the Alt-right. 9 of the 14 French players named for the 2006 World Cup Final were black you idiot. This is not really the sort of comments section for you, I could give you some links to some videos where you'd be more at home.
The Joker so the reason England have not won anything since 1966 is because of black players
That’s the difference with Kane, when he has a half decent chance you know he’s going to score.
Top striker!
The ball deflected off of the keeper lad, a half decent goalie had that saved.
Matt in slow motion it looks bad for the keeper but he intentionally hit it hard and low. Unexpected and very hard for the keeper to get down quick enough.
Vardy can start instead of sterling.
Hits it first time.
No messing.
i was lucky enough to go to Wembley and watch it
England got no chance in the World Cup Iwobi controlled the midfield in the second half bro imagine when we play the big teams
Iwobi isnt a bad player and are you saying that nigeria is bad if so at least we dont have sterling
We have a good chance
TJ Random no I’m not saying that but they don’t have as many capable players like England
DJ Time 😂😂😂 your funny mate we got no creative midfielders and the defence is suspect stones is scared the teams got no experience and wtf is delli alli and lingard doing tell me what they did yesterday
skeams L funny for you that we made the round of 16 last world Cup amd you guys didn't. And we probably could do it again.
England is looking much improved. They could well be the surprise team that few expect at the World Cup.
Nigeria played better in the second half .Most of the first half players are substitutes
Ahajqjkw Njwkwkwk anw, Nigeria had a much harder group than England
England got all the easy matches
"Iwobi with the consolation"???? y'all titled it as if England won by more than 4 goals🤨
Leave Dele Alone
Tell that to the Nigerian fans
CLASSIC sorry hard
Light-skinned Ali.
demi alli no your not your darker than him
@@demialli7079 hope your brothers doing well
I still think that tarkowski should be in the squad
Don't need more shite shitty players
He is one of the main players to help Burnley to play European football
Chris Mutombo The thin is Burnley play a very defensive style of football, where all defenders look better than they are. Don't know what'll happen if he plays 3 at the back.
Karthik true but don’t u think that at least one of the Burnley defenders deserve to go to the World Cup because Gary Cahill is awful
More like Mee
to Nigerian fans, why would Alli pick Nigeria over England, his dad who left a week before he was born, so has no connection with your country or would he pick the country he was born and raised? I'm surprised you haven't gone after barkley who could've played for you because of his grand parents! No hate but it's a personal choice for the player to make!
Connor Claydon he popped out of a Nigerian man's balls which makes him Nigerian.
And his Dad never left him
First of all his dad never left him you need to reread the story behind why he came back to the UK. As a Nigerian I personally couldn't care less who he plays for it's his choice obviously it would be good if he played for Nigeria but can't hold that against him..
I have pictures of him in Nigeria with his daddy online. So stop lying 🤥.
OG he said he doesn't have Alli on his back because he has no connection with his dad's name, that's why it says DELE, sorry man, put the link for that photo tho because that doesn't make sense
As a Nigerian, I honestly couldn't care less. Don't know why the nigerian fans were so salty, unfair to Dele imo.
It was nice to see Alli playmaking and really get the offence going... but he was pretty much the only one who could consistently pick out good passes. I would call up Shelvey to have at at least one more playmaker in the squad because he is an excellent passer of the ball.
Also I liked the confidence of Trippier. He's taking all the set pieces very well and has a nice understanding with Walker.
England should focus more on keeping the ball, slowing the tempo and getting some easy chances from set pieces and wing backs to limit counter attacks of their opponents.
Listeroman Wilshere is available but people hate him so... Yeah.
Shelvey is the last. Technically very poor and he mostly hit the.ball.high and hard and suits championship. There r players like wilshere winks barklely and will hughes around if available and shelvey can be forgotten now
Listeroman tbh we don't look dangerous playing out from the back we are most likely to score from counter attacks
Listeroman Why is everyone on this Shelvey-World-Cup hype train? Henderson does the same job as Shelvey just better.
Henderson can't pass forwards... especially his long balls are far to often inaccurate and unnecessary. I'm judging him purely by his performances in the England shirt. I would keep both of them (Henderson, Shelvey) and send home Welbeck. Shelvey would bring something new to the team and as I said he is an excellent passer. Way more useful than Welbeck who shouldn't even be in the squad because Vardy is a much better backup striker and realistically the only one who should get minutes alongside Kane.
imagine playing welbeck instead of vardy

dimensional tactics, joke of a manager . Roll on the World Cup
Nigeria 🇳🇬❤️
What a beautiful jersey!
Sterling is basically this generations Walcott, quick with no end product.
Ramjet164 so much better then Walcott did you see how good he’s played this season
Na ram mate he's got 23 goals this season in 46 that's a goal every other game + Walcott had over 100 goals for Arsenal I would actually have taken Walcott thought he had a good end to the season with Everton
SK he didn’t have a good end of season with Everton. Also walcott scored 100 in about 350 games for arsenal
They are nowhere near the same kind of players, Theo always had good finish, while Sterling is way better at dribbling
Sorry isn't sterling one of the leagues top goalscorers this season🤦♂️🤔
I don’t understand why they were so aggressive about taking the ball from Pickford.. Like three of them surrounded him.
Is there really need for the comment “that’s the story of sterling in an England shirt”. If that was harry Kane they would be screaming oh and Kane has done all he can couldn’t get there in time. I personally rate raheem sterling.
Ya Donovan I like the guy, but he's only scored 3 goals in 4 years so it's not exactly false to say as much.
Bunny in the Box yes that is true. But he doesn’t deserve the stick he gets. Trippier not scoring the free kick you don’t hear the commentators saying as usual trippier doesn’t score yet again.

His car wasn’t sparkling clean and it was front page paper news. Yes his goal record isn’t great but he doesn’t deserve the amount of stick he gets. I’m not even a Man City fan but I don’t think he deserves it.
I love you england

Again typical England even the highlights are in their favour, check the statistics both shots taken, shots on target, shots off target were all equal.

It makes it like Sky Sports are broadcasting the game. Put ITV commentary on Thursday's match vs Costa Rica or it's game over for Martin.
Jon Stewart personally I don't want to hear football analysis from the guy who thought a freaking faith healer would help us perform!😂
Michael owens goal v argentina 1998 alone was infinitely more pleasurable than any england win during the last 5 years at least, or maybe even since he retired. And we lost that game. Says it all
Cahill is a Leader
5:44 Leave Pickford alone!
England keeper's reaction though. When he conceded that goal.
About consolation. That is biased because Nigeria scored straight after half time and dominated the whole of the second half. So explain to me how it was a consolation. Also Nigeria will probably make it further than England
Nigeria won't get out the group don't let the kit overly gass you bigman, they'll finish bottom Argentina and Croatia through even Iceland are more of a team than Nigeria
SK you’re actually stupid. You struggled against our subs in the first half ffs
+SK Croatia and Iceland for me
SK We didn't play our full first team and we will iron out our mistakes. Iceland is poor and will probably lose to us as will Croatia which are a team of bottlers.
SK idiot.
This highlights seem biased to me. So if Nigeria had not scored, we would not have seen any moves from them ?
Jeez can y’all get off Sterling’s back
Fernandihno was right about the English press and Sterling
Sterling's 'back' is hard to get off....lol!
I wonder how he plays football with such big back.
Alex Iwobi Rejects England Footballer because of his Native Country Nigeria HERO
Premier League Highlights no he’s just to bad to play for England
So much negativity on sterling with that one commentator but when rashford was missing he didnt have much to say
When sterling doesn't have De bruyne and Sane to give him tap ins
Shivam Chadha So true😂😂
just a stupendously ignorant remark, youve clearly watched about 6 minutes of one match and decided you know what youre on about
yourenotinthecircle Actually I've watched quite a lot of him and while he has improved a lot and is definitely one of our better players, the number of goals he's scored doesn't truly represent his finishing abilities. At city he was given so many tap ins it's actually incredible. Plus he's on a seriously worrying goal drought for England which doesn't fill me with confidence.
Shivam Chadha Yeah his finishing is still kinda dead, not a natural finisher at all. We could've lost heavily if he finished those chances in the Manchester derby tbh.
Crash Bandicoot The fact he actually manages to miss tap ins and 1v1s as well which makes it even worse. Hope he has a good world cup though, for England's sake.
Love you dele :(
They should of won nigeria they are my country boys
dont MAKE FUN OF THEM! THEY STILL PLAYED WELL
Ugandan Nation England outplayed Nigeria
Well reubz1123 they still played well nigeria and tbh England had lots of chances to score They thought that nigeria Was very easy to beat
When man can you just shut up and agree you idiot
Plz shutup
I'M WITH YOU TO THE FINAL GUYS LOVE FROM GREECE💘
That rifle on Sterling's leg has got no bullets. He better take it off or else England won't get out the group stage. Lol
Raphael Saheed The gun tattoo is a metaphor on how he shoots with his right leg.
Grammar Police and cow his dad got gunned down
a wonderful match is this to watch
I thought Lingard and Dele played well together in the first half.
Uzoho was a op goalkeeper that match
Why does the media hate Sterling?
Because he can't even finish his dinner only time he can put the ball in the net is when he's few yards from the goal
Because he's black media are racist
not because he is black..who are you. i can bet you are a white person. just shut up
Tosin Ojo so what you're saying is that the colour of someones skin affects the legitimacy of what they say?
It cannot be completely disproved that it is the case just the same as it cannot be conclusively proven that it is motivated by racism(Although I chose to not believe that it is)
Tosin Ojo Irish traveller u mug
2-1 is hardly a consolation, consolation is like 4-1 or 6-1
sterling has bags of potential...
He's fast...that's it.
I love Sterling,he's brilliant. Not once have i seen him lose that ball in the back of the net. Pure class.
Alex Iwobi! ¡Anota cuando quiere !!
Am I the only person who thinks that the Nigeria kit is overrated?🇳🇬
PS. Don't hate me
Bels Or maybe he just has an opinion?
Jasper Beyer YES
Yes
Although I prefer the same design with the darker green
-_-
Only watched for the kit
Why Rooney not playing
This is one thing I hate about England.. They hype themselves way too much.. Iwobi with the consolation, what nonsense..
You're right! It really doesn't matter if you're black or white or if you racially got advanced!
This highlight is England sided, didn't include the great attempts on goal by the Nigerian side in the second half!
I hope Harry Kane proves the haters wrong at the World Cup
This was a good performance by England . Well the 1st half was
This team is a better team than the other England teams southgate has chosen . Here is what I would say needs to improve :
1. Young slows England's play down . Rose must start
2. I would play walker . Maguire and Cahill. Stones is not consistent enough.
3. Play either dier or Henderson both are not particular good or consistent . Dier is a better passer and a better presence , but I suppose Henderson does things well as well .
XxNearxX River and vardy instead of sterling
And keep Alli-Lingard going
keep Alli-Lingard-Sterling as attaking midfield
My parents are from Nigeria but I am from England I don't know who to support😔
If you’re parents are both Nigerian, then you’re Nigerian. It doesn’t matter if you were born in England or not.
I was there we were brilliant first half but not great second half
I was there too and we were brilliant 2nd half but not great first half.
I was there *three* and we were brilliant 1st half but not great second half.
Rian Mullaley I was there four we were trash 3rd half and horrible 4th half......
Mrmix6 ix6 I watched there five we were absurd in the 1st half and good in the second half.
Nigeria will win the world cup, the hard way, but they will. Its a very good but underrated team.
That was a nice goal iwuobi.Godluck
Iwobi was bossing it against England and Southgate thinks Livermore is better than Wilshere, LOL.
Yeah he is, he's better at getting relegated.
Livermore is not better then Wilshere, If Southgate had faith in Wilshere's fitness he would've have gone to the world cup instead of Livermore.
There is no better platform to shine in da world of football then WC...Harry Kane if u belong in that bracket.The time has come.....Let's find out who he is n who he isn't.
We were great until Nigeria scored and changed their formation, which is worrying! We were playing with creative freedom until they scored and then everyone seemed scared to make a creative risky pass. Too much hogging the sidelines walking and passing and losing the ball. Happy enough overall but it is a worry that when they matched our system we couldn't seem to get through them. I liked Alli and Lingards link up play and think if they stayed on when welbeck and rsshford came on we would have probably had a better end to the game.
As a prediction I think quarter finals is possible, we are a better side then Poland if we do end up coming up against them but actually showing it on the day is a different story.
much love for eagles .
Friendly's are pointless games which prove nothing. we all know what England players can do let's just back them when it matters and cut the BS out
white darkness exactly so much negativity. We need to get behind the team.
white darkness You idiots were saying this in the 1990 WC and Euro 96 it's like you want us to do bad.
reubz1123 how does supporting your nation mean you want the team to do bad?
olzz gregory I'm saying it's as if. I'm sure most people want us to do well execpt the press so they earn more money when England are humiliated.
reubz1123 are you bored?
Naija always struggle with European Nations at the World Cup, having been sent packing by these European Nations(Italy, Denmark, Greece etc) and this just proves that the technical crew needs to work harder in forging a formidable defense cause with what I saw in the match, our defense was not solid and we may be ousted in the first round if they ignore to do what is necessary! All in all, Naija has lost twice in our friendlies with the Three Lions, na God go help us for Russia!
osita okpala Beaten the likes of Spain, Bulgeria ( When they where good) etc so not really
No im from Nigeria
big Jimbo hyde
Wow what an insult, you’re so cool (sarcasm)
