I barely understand what he saying… British English ten times different from the U.S, if he his speaking English then I wonder what fuck we speak in the U.S.

I think he should change to the Jamaican national team in the twilight of his career when he playing in MLS or something… Idk just a thought

I hope you leave England team soon they are racist

He is a God lad and a great player, but I don't believe England and their newspapers are doing him justice. Right now he's the main person carrying England to where they are now, but do they really recognise him like that? To me No!!!

When he can`t score in a fair play, he starts diving. Later he is shocked why people are racists against him.

Beautiful interview and beautiful family, but why is this only place you can see the real Raheem Sterling with the media desperate to do all they can to fill this positive story and his amazing ability and achievements with negativity. Peace and love
Richard Juukovsky on July 15, 2022 1:03 pm

Amazing story. Inspirational as hell and none of it fiction. Just amazing story and amazing human being. Peace and love
