Raheem Sterling and the stars you’ll be watching
One major question lingers over the matchday, and that’s whether or not this England squad can gel and do something special in this tournament — but underneath that is something a little more specific: can Raheem Sterling finally get the English media off his back? We’ve talked before about how he almost seems to be targeted by the media over even innocuous things like having the audacity to buy himself breakfast, but what better way for Sterling to shut everyone up and finally get some dang respect by putting on a show in the World Cup?
Past that, though, there’s also some questions around the Belgium and Sweden squads. Belgium haven’t quite looked like they’re at their best since Roberto Martinez took over the squad, while few are sure what Sweden will do without the magic of Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the side. Between their questions and England’s, this could prove to be a very educational day in the World Cup, because Belgium and Sweden especially have opponents that will give them stern tests that will need to be taken seriously and have the teams step up in a bigger way than we’ve seen from either of them of late.
