*****Official Thread - Miami Vice - England v Ecuador*****

[PILTDOWN MAN]

What's that got to do with anything?

That they're are paid supposedly for being competent footballers.

 

[Dan Aitch]

Did anyone else see Sterling deliberately tripped over 5-10 seconds before the 'revenge' tackle that got him sent off?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Yellow for Sterling, red for Valencia. Poor refereeing.

 

[Mellotron]

Can't really argue with that decision. What was Sterling doing there? Shocking near-maiming in a fking WARM UP.

Not a red though was it? Very swift but not studs up, silly challenge but a yellow 24/7.

should have just said to the managers "sub them both off before I have to make a decision"

 

[Paris]

Sterling misses next seven matches

He'll miss the world cup final.

he nearly snapped his standing leg with his knee.. half way up his calf... flying in, off his feet, leading with his studs... nasty... and STUPID.... and straight RED in my book.

 

[Mellotron]

Good work out this game. Ecuador very dangerous on the break, we're comfortably the better passers which is fortunate because they've exposed us a couple of times.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

You saw a different tackle to me.

 

[Mellotron]

Not really, he came across rather than down. A challenge like sterlings is very very unlikely to cause a break.

From one angle, it looks full blooded but fair. From another though, he ploughs straight into inside of the bloke's knee and could have caused serious injury. I'd probably have given yellow but understand why he gave a red in truth.

Doesn't matter what they earn though? It seems people expect them to be super-human because they earn millions.

Ffs Wilshere you're worse than porcelain Buckley

Fair enough. Silly tackle in a WC warm up friendly agreed. Shows he's up for it at least I suppose...

 

[carteater]

FFS, wilsher down...

 

[Willy Dangle]

How much time does Wiltshire spend on the floor?

 

[Mellotron]

Any arguments about earnings are nonsense. They're not going to turn down the money are they?!

Yay Lallana.

 

[carteater]

well we're doomed if these two injuries are really bad, especially oxlade chamberlain

 

[Juan Albion]

How much time does Wiltshire spend on the floor?

Getting practice in for a World Cup in South America.

Exactly this ^ Two matches away from the World Cup Finals!

I'd be pretty pissed off if I was Valencia too to be honest.
