So Lineker just wants Rice at RB now? ok
I don’t get it. Rice is a midfielder… putting him at right back sounds like messing with the lineup for vibes. Also can England even afford to do that in a big tournament? Like why not just play the usual dude.
Right back Rice is kinda genius tho? He’s athletic and can cover. But then again I’m seeing people complain about everything like it’s automatically bad. And the article is also talking about penalties and Mexico?? I swear they change subjects like every sentence lol
Honestly I think this is just clickbait because they want to blame whoever when England loses. If Rice at right back was really the plan, then why wasn’t it given earlier? And “Kane rescues England” like he’s saving them from their own strategy… plus Belgium leaving it late doesn’t even relate. I’m confused but mad anyway.
