Don't be silly, we all know that
Penalties don't count
Friendlies don't count
Playing well but not scoring doesn't count
Golden boots because the goals weren't all against big teams in big games don't count
Goals in the Nations League, even against big teams don't count
What would you count as the games where he has played a 'big team' in a 'big game'? Genuinely. Because, to make a statement that he 'does not do it' in such situations would surely mean it's something which has occurred enough times to see it as a trend.
Let's not be silly and include the 3rd...
So apart from the Semi final of the world cup, which other games are you throwing in there as 'big'?
Seeing as no other games in the world cup appeared to count as big.
Ok. For England he has won the golden boot at a world cup
He has scored against the following 'better' nations:
Switzerland, Germany, Turkey, France, Columbia, Croatia
He hasn't played against Brazil and Argentina as far as I can see.
He didn't score against Spain but was brilliant in that...
Wow.
This season he has been injured
He scored against Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea, Dortmund, Barcelona, PSV, Croatia whilst playing BRILLIANTLY away in spain (when we won 3-2 to break their unbeaten home record)
Goals against lower teams also do count as goals.
This is in his injury hit season...
I've really enjoyed it. Yes it helps we've done well but THANK GOD for the Nations league. It has replaced the AWFUL friendlies and the teams have genuinely cared. The performance away in Spain was just brilliant and I'm really hoping we can bring home the first Nations League title. Yes, it's...
