I can’t believe that someone would call him awful unless they’re describing his personality.

Misconception on both parts I think.

He was the stand out LB at WC 2006 and the best in the world.

Misconception on both parts I think. I think with Cole it was the comments in his autobiography re Arsenal "only" offering £55k p/w when he wanted £60k p/w. It was coming around the time that fans were starting to resent the money explosion so he took a lot of flak for it. He did a small interview with The Guardian lately about his life in America and the unfair media perception of him and he came across quite well.

Ask Ronaldo who the best left back he’s played against is....Regarding the money at Arsenal, he was promised a deal that never ended up materialising. They said one thing and did another, that’s what pissed him off.
Thank goodness it’s over, just could not get interested in it and didn’t watch the final in fact only watched 3 games in total. The trouble is it reaches saturation point just as the coverage of the Premier League has. Every paper you pick up every time the tv or radio is on the social media coverage everyone in the pub talkng about it it’s all just too much. Now where is that darkened room I need to go and lie down I need to think about something more relaxing like errrrm oh I know Brexit😱
Played 6. Won 2 in 90mins 1on penos and got beat 3 times. The only way the world cup is coming home is if someone Knicks it.
I also find the plaudits Lukaku is getting absolutely baffling. Kane scores 6 goals mostly against the total shit teams but then gets criticism for only scoring 1 in the last 5 games.Lukaku scores 4, none in the last 5 games, and all his goals were against the same shit teams Kane scored against.It's especially head scratching considering the flak England's midfield get for not creating compared with the "genius" tag attached to de Bruyne, hazard and Co. Lukaku fluffed loads of chances and only scored against crap teams but is "world class" compared to Kane can anyone explain this?

It hasn't left me burnt out either, I can't wait to go and watch Rovers again in a couple of weeks!
Can't remember if I said it on this thread or not but Kane was carrying an injury after the Colombia game apparently.
I see Dejan Lovren's come out and had a moan about the referee, France and claiming Croatia played the better football.All well and good, but...1) The free-kick for the first goal may not have been a free-kick, however, the referee didn't score the goal or tell Croatia's defenders to sit way too deep - thus inviting on pressure where any touch is going to cause major problems for the GK.2) The penalty for the second goal was questionable, however a French player got his head to the ball first. Now if defenders do their job properly, this shouldn't happen.Poor excuses in an attempt to justify his team's own shortcomings, which he was partly responsible for.
