Like robtard said, feel bad for the guy. Sancho and saka shouldn’t have ever stepped up IMO.
If Rashford and Sancho had played at least 20-30 mins of football, I wouldn't have minded it as much. Then again, if they'd had that, I think England probably would have scored before penalties.

I don’t really rate them. It’s all well and good having pace but without end product, what’s the the point? Have some ****ing power and take a shot!
I don't know how you can't rate Rashford. He had a poor second-half to his season, sure, but he was playing through a shoulder injury. He's capable of really good things, and is still more consistent than ****ing Pogba.
Pogba ****ing sucks! 😂 He was a meme and a sham! There was the idea that he played in the “Paul pogba role” yet Nobody could define it. Defensive work, well, no because he runs forward a lot, so he’s an attacking player, well no because he’s not that creative or much of a striker, and then there’s dabs. That was his role. To steal headlines and be carried by actual talented players.

I would argue that Pogba has talent. Buckets of it. But he's got no drive or desire to be the very best at all.
Look at C. Ronaldo when he was at United. Capable of great things, and could score important goals, but far too many times he acted like a petulant child when things weren't going his way.
Then he grew up. I'm still waiting on Pogba to do the same.

It’s weird because whenever I go to the continent, they ****ing love I’m English.
I'm glad this thread is here as I have a question for Euro's (Or really any non American)
Here in the US we have something called Citizen's United, which essentially means mega corporations are to be treated as people in the sense they get to lobby (Read: Bribe) politicians.
Here in the US we also allow foreign residents to buy up stock. In theory, this means nationalistically minded wealthiest Russian or Chinese or Indian in the world could control the most influential US corporations, and use them to pressure US politicians and thus US domestic policy. More or less a bloodless coup is feasible, given enough money and the fact lobbying buys politicians who creates law.
So I'm wondering if this is a uniquely American problem, or if you have similar issues. Just how much influence does big money have on your elected representatives, and can foreign citizens play too?
