..... and this is why England are so poor in international tournaments. For decades english players get favourable treatment by media and refs and develop an approach to the game they cant get away with over seas. Scholes tackles, Rooney reffing games, Ali, Shearer and Kane thuggery.... the list goes on and on.Looks like England would be playing with 10 in most of the games - no way thugs like Kane and Alle would be allowed to hack others in World Cup.
Totally agree with the sentiment of this thread, but at least the referee was consistently inconsistent.The rules are ridiculous. If a ref is incompetent then they should still be banned. Ridiculous
instructions from pochettino to hurt our best players. same as mourinho last week with rojo on silva and matic elbowing de bruyne. Two of the so called best managers in the premier league and this is all they can come up with. the alli assault needs retrospective action they can do this even if the ref gave a yellow.
Sadly they have been ‘disciplined’ during the game. Two terrible challenges but if anything it helped us find another gear
Alli is a coward. Horrible, filthy, disgraceful tackle. Shameful.
