I don't know. But he does have a tendency to want to get the ball in every challenge, even if that means going right through an opponent.

Maybe he's playing 40 years too late.

From the BBC - Gareth Southgate on three Burnley players in the squad:

"With Nick Pope his form has been excellent. It's great credit to Sean Dyche that we have got three Burnley players in our squad."

Am I missing something here? After Pope and Tarkowski, who's the third player?

I doubt he would've been a better player at -10 years of age.

Really, Robin, what a ridiculous suggestion.

He’s probably forgotten that Trippier plays for Spurs now.

They really should make Gareth Bale play for China in the second half, even things up a bit.

They've taken him off, after he got his hat-trick. 6-0 to Wales.

"It is understood the FAW will receive £1million for playing in a four-team tournament, which also involves the Czech Republic and Uruguay.
But the FAW were reportedly set to suffer a £100,000 penalty if Bale did not play in the tournament."

Did they set up an entire tournament just for one player?
