Saudi politics aside, former Liverpool captain is not the right man to combine best with Rice and Bellingham
In the buildup to this qualifier in Wroclaw there was a great deal of focus on the selection of Jordan Henderson. Most of it centred on Henderson’s own self-advertised status as an advocate of the downtrodden, combined with his subsequent paid gig as a publicist for Saudi Arabia’s propaganda machine.
Henderson was of course vilified, mocked and taken to task for his nonsensical attempts at self-justification. Not least the fantasist’s pretence that he is some kind of righteous sleeper agent, out there changing people’s minds by junking his principles at the first chink of the cash-bag. Yep. That’ll do it.
