Exactly. If he realises he has to behave when representing his country or club, then it will be a good lesson learnt. If he thinks he is now a bit of a lad and likes that reputation it could be trouble. Also as has been mentioned on the radio today, if they had gone to breakfast that is the England game done, also the risk of them all coming back to their teams. I know there is not isolation coming back from Iceland, but one Covid case from that squad and we know who will be blamed.
it's not that hard when you're bringing his age into this and asking me to drop it because he's not perfect.I'd say no surprise if your 18 and just won the lottery or come into a huge inheritance or something. However, these two have been brought up within the system so to speak, taught how to behave in public and know the expectations on them when with the team. The fact they did this whilst away with England adds fuel to the fire as the whole football community will be watching and hearing about it.
Agree completely. If we were in their shoes at 18 and you had the chance to feck 2 beauties of course you would go for it. As long as they have learned their lesson no long term harm done
Sooner season starts and there is some football we can all argue about the better.This thread has been an absolute rollercoaster
Probably already had it at PSG, a number of their players have caught it.
Yep - hormones are dangerous at that age!!
Context is everything.
Nor is it hard to discuss the point at hand and not the strawman you've decided upon. Read it again and come back to me.
Nobody fecking ask him to be perfect. Just use his head and not being ignorant for 10 days
In fairness there are only like six women in Iceland eligible for Miss Univerise so she didn't have much competition.
Dont know what your man post is about
100%................ ........would have override being sensible
Dude, they have that chance every day of the week if they want to. It's not like this was their only chance of getting some action for the foreseeable.
So would i.
So his england debut is a pointless last day..
BUT BUT BUT he broke the rules and deserves the death penalty!! He's 18 you know so an Adult with prime responsibilities, how dare he get out of line!
The other great response is “she’s super hot, so obviously he couldn’t resist “ Which is projecting their own life experience onto a handsome and wealthy professional footballer who can have his pick of incredibly attractive women, whenever he wants.
Yeah but hes 18, first season in the first team. First real taste of this and everything fame brings. Hell listen to the phone call and he sounds a bit naive and childish.
He’s been in and around the first team for a couple of years. And a Manchester United footballer for much longer than that. So I’m sure he’s well aware how often opportunities like this come around. What he did was definitely naive and childish but I’m sure there are lots of 18 year old professional footballers who wouldn’t have done what he did in that situation.

Let's be honest here, it probably goes on a lot more than we realise - they just got caught because the girls leaked it for publicity.
Yeah, if he's doing this after 5-6 years of being a pro then you would probably want to think about reprimanding him further but he's 18 and just turned pro.
Seems like it can lay dormant for a while then, Pogba tested positive on the 26th!
Yeah but hes 18, not many miss icelands would go near 16 year olds I hope! The footballers life starts somewhere and 18 would be about right?
This is the perfect age for them to be punished. Letting them get away with it could make them think rules don't apply.

I don't know if Southgate will be that harsh, can see him maybe leaving them out of the next squad and then that's that. (How many more international breaks are there before the Euros?)
That'll sort Foden. What about Mason?
