🚨 Wayne Rooney on Declan Rice's set-pieces that inspired England's 4-2 victory:
🗣️ “For the whole of last season, people mocked Arsenal's set-pieces. They called them boring, said they were ruining football and claimed they could never win the biggest trophies playing that way.
Now look at England.
Declan Rice is delivering those same quality dead balls and they've played a huge part in a 4-2 win.
I've watched this World Cup closely and one thing stands out: Arsenal players have consistently produced dangerous set-pieces, with several leading directly to goals.
Maybe the issue was never the set-pieces.
Maybe people were simply frustrated because their own teams didn't have players capable of executing them at that level.
Football fans love effective set-pieces when they're winning games. They only complain when someone else is better at them.”
Brazil bench Martinelli, They Struggled
Spain Bench Zubimendi, They Struggled
Germany starts Havertz, They won 7-1
Sweden starts Gyokeres, They won 5-1
France Starts Saliba and They won 3-1
You will not succeed without Arsenal🤷🏽♂️
In January 2023, Arsenal missed out on £86M Mudryk and signed Trossard for £26m instead.
One became embroiled in a doping scandal. The other helped deliver Arsenal's league title.
Why mention the £26m fee today?
Because it's been exactly 26 days since Arsenal won the league.

@arsenalskitchen tim liga inggris yang mainnya bagus sejak era 90an itu hanya Arsenal, biar pemainnya badut, tapi mainnya bagus, alhasil gelarnya dikit nambahnya. Tapi itu (main bagus) jg yang bikin orang cinta sama arsenal walaupun ga juara. Kebencian terhadap arsenal itu memang nyata. parah.
@arsenalskitchen baca komen di ig, pemain arsenal tidak bermain haram ball seperti di timnas. maksudnya klo banter2an ya gpp lah. Ini yang komen kayak lahir tahun kemarin, baru lihat Arsenal main. Arsenal main aman seperti ini baru di musim ini, karena apa?? biar juara, dan terbukti juara
- Madueke bikin Inggris dapat penalti
- Corner Declan Rice akurat menuju kepala Kane
- Saka asis untuk gol Rashford
2 gol berasal dari corner dan sebuah counter yang diinisiasi Saka
Publik Inggris mengkritik Arteta sampai habis, mereka memberi label haram ball untuk Arsenal.
Lalu, publik yang sama, bersorak ketika gol-gol Inggris berasal dari situasi bola mati di mana pemain Arsenal terlibat di sana.
Jadi, enak, kan bola mati? Makan itu haram ball.
