Sturridge is England After deciding to depress myself cheap jerseys with how badly my choices for top tournament goal scorer were fairing after Ronaldo decided to declare war on advertising hoardings and goal posts on Saturday night, I stumbled across UEFAs statistics for the tournament. Do you know what? England are okay! If you read a lot of mails on Friday morning, you might have suspected that England had lost 9 0 to Vatican City going by some of the grumbling and whinging. Nike Roshe Run Heren mochilas fjallraven kanken baratas Canotte Chicago Bulls This was quite an eye opener to me, but maybe I was wrong. Maybe I had imagined that England had dominated both games, and had only conceded a pair of sloppy but flukey rare shots on goal. Then I saw these stats, all up to date as of the end of the 2nd round of matches. Maglia Kyrie Irving We joint 4th out of 24 teams for pass completion, behind Spain (obviously), Germany (obviously) and Switzerland (they not played France yet). new balance 996 beige homme England, yes, that team that always give the ball away, are joint 4th on pass completion with Portugal. fjallraven kanken baratas We 5th out of 24 teams in percentage of possession too. Dont’a Hightower Jersey Only Spain, Germany, France and Portugal are higher than us on that score too. nike air max 1 mujer We joint second on the shots attempted front with Croatia on 37 attempts over two games. Portugal rank above us again. In fairness, these stats probably indicate that Portugal are having a great tournament, when they obviously not. However, Portugal should be WALKING that group really.

It the exact opposite of a Group Of Death. It the Group Of Having A Bowl Of Sugar Puffs While A Puppy Licks Your Feet Clean. We, like Ronaldo, need to start improving the only important stat: putting the ball in the net. Air Max 2016 Goedkoop Sure, tougher challenges lie ahead, but there are better teams playing inferior teams to the ones we have had so far and not getting this level of dominance. Whatever happens from here on out, compared to the last 4 tournaments (5 if you include the one we missed), I think there real cause for optimism. Now watch Hamsik slam in a double hat trick on Monday. NMD Adidas Dames beige Jae (Lewandowski and Griezmann aren doing much better), Tunbridge Wells. adidas superstar rose gold femme asics gel lyte 3 mujer negras Paul Murphy seems to be way too keen to judge Sturridge based on one performance. Sturridge has been clearly england most talented striker for a few seasons now and that goal is exactly why he needs to be playing. I a Spurs fan and I love Kane as a classic number 9. He can create goals out of nothing in the manner of a center forward (movement, shooting back across goal through legs, power etc) but Sturridge brings a bit of cunning and quick feet to the game that levels above the norm. basket nike requin homme pas cher He a smart finisher and whilst the finish against wales wasn elegant it was exactly what was needed, along with his sniffing out an opportunity to score and going for it. I don think either Kane or Vardy would have got their feet sorted out quickly enough to have scored it. nike air max 2017 pas cher femme Burst of acceleration, quick angles and small movements, this kind of finishing is what separates Messi from Ronaldo for me and if you look through his past goals you see the variation of chips, nutmegs, wrongfootings, weaker foot finishes, near post finishes, toe pokes, drives and curling strikes that are the right http://www.cheapjerseys11.com/ finish at the right time. He is selfish at times, but has great link up and interplay as well, and provided the cross for the Vardy goal. I love to see what him and Alli could conjure up in a burgeoning partnership. As a quick inb4, no i don think Sturridge is as good as Messi or better than Ronaldo. Indie (Sturridge to Spurs, on the cheap of course cause of his injury problems), North London Paul Murphy summary of Sturridge is way off the mark. I am firmly of the belief that Harry Kane is not a myth (unfortunately!) and therefore has deserved his starting role in the side. But Olly Cole is right the guy is knackered. It not easy playing on your own up top and he done it in every single game this season for Tottenham. He clearly needs a break.

The issue I had in Paul email was the following lines, from everywhere when colleagues are in a better position, no awareness of the play going on around him What?! Of all our options, Sturridge is our best link guy his glorious year alongside Suarez made him a better player in that respect. Kane is world class at finding the bottom corner, but Sturridge is a better footballer than both Vardy and Kane. Rewatch the game Daniel is everywhere. Maglie Sacramento Kings He plays so deep because he wants to be involved in everything, trying to make a difference. asics gel nimbus 17 hombre It stark contrast to Vardy performance I think, though it probably a tad harsh to say he missing after his goal. Speaking of his goal, guess who drops of the play that he so unaware of to clip the ball back into the danger area? Sturridge. And for his own goal, who picks the ball up deep, feeds Rooney before making the run past Alli and getting the ball back to score? You guessed it. To say Rashford deserves a chance whilst at the same time slating the man who changed the game is just strange. Rashford I also like by the way, but he far too raw to be anything other than what Roy used him for on Thursday. Hopefully Sturridge gets another chance to shine against Slovakia and proves (once again) what a good footballer he is. Georgia Bulldogs Nike Air Max 2016 Femme I would also rest Alli, Kane, drop Sterling completely and give Wilshere and Stones some minutes. Poor England, having to put up with Daniel Sturridge coming on and being a selfish glory hunter.

Sure he set up the equaliser and scored the winner but as Paul Murphy points out, his presence on the pitch obviously was detrimental to the team performance. asics gel lyte 3 mujer rojas England would be better off without him, goals are overrated. air max pas cher new balance 1600 online store In all seriousness, the level of criticism Sturridge gets for his mentality and perceived selfishness is astounding. People really have a problem with a hugely talented and confident young black sportsman. He a striker and it his job to score and create goals, both of which he did in 45 minutes yesterday and the team won. If you don think Sturridge was clearly the best player, and knew it, on the pitch during the second half yesterday, or in most Liverpool games he played this season, then we can be friends. Is Euro 2016 turning managers off players? You know how they say that it probably best to sign a player before an international tournament, just so you don have to pay an inflated transfer fee if said player plays well for their country. Canotte Sacramento Kings There is also the warning thrown out to avoid buying a player on the back of a good tournament, and ending up with a Poborsky. sac a dos fjallraven kanken femme Nike Italia What I been wondering while watching the Portugal v Austria match is whether or not Euro 2016 is knocking a few 00 off the Portuguese players. When I seen the line up for their first game, in my head I immediately looked at the midfield up and thought is a great team, there a few of them worth 50 million as well as one or two more valuable players on the bench Watching the game tonight reminds me of the problem I have with the Portuguese transfer market, and the fact that so many of the players are represented by Jorge Mendes, so their values are inflated way beyond their actual worth. nike air max 2017 pas cher nike air presto bambini Like William Carvalho? We been constantly bombarded with transfer rumours linking him to English clubs for around 40 million. I mean the guy looks like a 2016 version of Papa Bouba Diop. Then there Joao Mario, whom I really don know a whole lot about to be honest, but he doesn look that great, though I heard of him being linked with a big money move to United. Then we have Renato Sanches, who has signed for Bayern Munich for a massive fee and doesn make it off the bench when Portugal are chasing a goal, while another young lad, Ruben Neves, can get into the squad and is supposedly worth north of 40 million too? We seen how cack players coming from that league for large fees can be, most notably Mangala at City, while his former Porto partner, Fernando, has also been pretty crap(though he cost substantially less). I know that in the past, the Portuguese market was attractive because of their work permit regulations allowed them to bring in young south American players quite easily when English clubs couldn but nowadays it is just bog standard European players that are being bigged up by agents and clubs so they can fetch a quick buck. I just wondering if the Portuguese under performance in France might show the true value of some of these players, who really look no better than some unknowns playing for the likes of Albania, Hungary et al.
