    Also, huge difference between all of those objective errors in officiating and/or miscarriages of justice which was plain for the whole world to see and Sterling's penalty, which you need to slow down to a crawl and see from several angles and look at it a certain way to come to the conclusion he dived. It's massively up for debate. Any contact looks small when you slow it down as slow as most replays I've seen.
    Anyone putting that penalty in the same bracket as any of those other instances just can't handle that the best team won and are looking for a narrative which suggests that they shouldn't.

    I remember when I was 15, I convinced my mate from Market Harborough to get the train up with me from Kettering to watch Nigel Clough's Derby train at Loughborough.
    Took me 90 mins to get there. Watched the squad run around for a bout 10 mins, then Robbie Savage gave me a look which said "wtf are you doing here?" and in that moment, I thought "I genuinely don't know what I'm doing with my life" and I went home.
    From that moment on, I vowed never to spend my pocket money on watching Conor Doyle and Saul Deeney run around a university campus ever again.

    Yeah it's pretty crazy, Sam Matterface is our de facto leader now. Lee Dixon is the only check and balance on his unprecedented power. Don't come back, you won't recognise your home country in the Matterface-era.

    In the minority on here but i thought it was a penalty , Jensen the culprit , cutting across Raheem and catching his hip , Kane , Sterling and Walker outstanding , fans superb , and to all the Pickford bashes , think he will have a big say in us winning the trophy on Sunday , does get carried away at ytimes but is as brave as a lion

    Isn't that the point? Something between a qualifier/tournament game and a friendly. I genuinely don't care about international friendlies but the nations league grabbed my attention slightly more. I guess it's the international equivalent of the Carabao Cup?

    Thanks for taking time to respond @RadioactiveWaste @Chester40 @RoyMac5 @86 Hair Islands
    Understood the idea behind why the Yellow jersey mattered most but before @RadioactiveWaste explained that sprinters are usually weak climbers, it didn't make sense to me how the sprinters weren't also the yellow jersey winners.
    Makes sense now, thank you!
