Bukayo Saka: Saka The Net

[Sapient Hawk]

He's made of sterner stuff this lad. He knows the entire Arsenal faithful love him & we far outnumber the English national team supporters.

That should be enough.

Well said

The media done this before with Sterling so I'm not surprised.

Or they do this on purpose for clicks and this just cheap and sad

I think it’s revenge for him costing his country the last European Championships, rather than a race issue.

Kane cost England the World Cup QF. When is his revenge coming? Not a pipe about an experienced penalty taker missing one. But a teenager missing one and they are after revenge. Saka and any blk player would be wise to refuse to take a pen. Let Pickford go ahead of them

Southgate missed in WC98 and hasn’t been allowed to forget it for 30 years. Kane got generally mocked too.

I don’t think it’s race, I think it’s more to do with guys like Saka and Sterling before him, being one of the main faces of the England team.

Ah yes, he's not been allowed to forget. The man is managing the England team, FFS

You mean Euro 96 I assume?

The way Sterling was treated was beyond disgraceful. He was by far England's best player at the last Euros yet it's barely acknowledged.

He still gets mocked for it today. Very often you’ll see him blamed for costing us a cup and now costing us again as manager.

Beckham the blond golden boy had to leave England he was terrorised so much after WC98 for something that shouldn’t have even been a booking.

The story of England has always been of such stuff.

They tried to turn him into some kind of villain for buying his mother a house but Jack Grealish can be an actual alcoholic whose career is going down the toilet because he doesn't appear to be serious about football and he's somehow a role model with great PR.

I just wish that Saka would limp out of the squad closely followed by a galloping Rice. Leave them to it.

At this stage, Grealish is a cautionary tale.

Tbf, Sterling being a pathetic diver everytime he enters the box has turned a lot of people against him, as well.
I've warmed up to him a bit because he seems to be a decent guy off the pitch, but so is Grealish, tbf.

The dive against Denmark was pitiful, and the media reaction in England likewise. Woeful stuff.

 

[Macho]

Some jokers on here, it took someone as perfect as Saka playing for Arsenal to finally spot the disparity in the media.

Selective outrage an A-M speciality.

I have never understood how Saka was in position to take that penalty to begin with. I get it, there's a slight bias towards forwards taking penalties. But fullbacks, defensive midfielders and even goalkeepers take penalties, too. Pretty sure Arteta was our designated penalty taker for a while. And Saka was not our designated penalty taker at the time, that didn't happen until after that miss. Five English veterans said "no" and the teenager stood up and took responsibility.

5 English veterans didn’t say “no”. Penalty takers are decided in training, as is the order. Saka IS part of the best 5.

Harry Kane is a pathetic diver who missed a penalty in a World Cup that knocked England out. Did he get anywhere near the abuse of Saka, Rashford and Sancho?
