It has been a blood and thunder match between England and Colombia so far, with the Three Lions dominating possession in the first half.
It looks like the physicality of the game has bled onto the sidelines, as Colombian coach inexplicably shouldered Raheem Sterling as the Manchester City forward made his way off the pitch at half time:

Amazing shithousery, which needless to say did not go down well with England fans:

Why would the Colombia coach do that to Sterling? As Gary Neville said, numpty indeed..
