FIFA's president can invent a farcical peace prize to flatter the ego of the president of the United States and spend months pandering to his political project, but Haiti's national team can't acknowledge their national struggle for independence because it's too "political"
@JacobSteinberg Henderson thumping the ball to oblivion instead of trying to string some passes together came to mind. At the highest level/against the top midfields, Rice doesn't have that dictating/controlling ability in his locker
@nqatpod Any time he comes up against a top midfield he doesn't influence the game in terms of getting his foot on the ball and calming the team down or dictating. Expect that to be a reason why England will come up short at the WC too
@R_o_M Averaged 2 passes a minute over the course of the game. I can't believe the narrative from the pundits/commentary here. Apparently Rice was 'fabulous' tonight. Absolute dirt football
