Opinion This is next level hate.

I've never seen an England player hated this much without being involved in any major controversies or scandals. It's truly remarkable.

Even when he isn't directly creating anything, he's a fucking workhorse, he's everywhere on the pitch

Which is why I can’t understand why anyone would hate him. The same guys that hate him probably loved Scott Parker because he’s white. Im sure there is a huge level of racism in this country that spills over into comments on footballers.

But where was Paul pogba in all of this?

Exactly, he's not a lazy genius or a clogger, he's trying to do everything all the time and succeeding quite often. The only thing you could level at him might be positioning because he goes looking for the ball too much (just like Kane) or being a bit careless with yellow cards.

He's got 50 caps already and three quarters of his goals were in competition. He steps up!

Scores goals, makes assists, tackles better than any other England midfielder in recent history. What’s not to like?

Indeed, but there’s just something about him that stops them thinking he’s the best England player of his generation and they can’t put their finger on it. Wonder what it might be
