FIGHT TO THE ENDRICK
With the buildup to England’s match against Brazil having been dominated by an often deranged debate about the colours of an inconspicuous rectangle adorning the collar of the men’s team’s shirt, finally we have the distraction of the actual football to discuss. Not much of a game, mind, given that the loudest cheer at Wembley on Saturday was reserved for whoever it was that managed to almost wing Fabrício Bruno with a paper aeroplane launched from the middle tier of the stands. In terms of accuracy and precision, the Brazil midfielder’s young teammate Endrick went one better, with the 17-year-old scoring his first goal for his country to consign Gareth Southgate’s brave boys to a defeat that doesn’t really matter in the cosmic scheme of things.
