We may be getting used to it now, but there could not be a more glaring example of bias and double-standards at this WC: Sterling has an ineffectual game (played out of position) and he gets scorn and and abuse, Salah has an equally poor game (but scores a penalty) and gets adoration and excuse after excuse. It’s not even subtle any more. We really do have the most deliberately unconscionable sports media in this country.
