#4 Raheem Sterling
Raheem Sterling is a player who can shine on his best days but when he doesn't get going, one can wonder how he won a gold medal with Manchester City. Sterling started six matches in Russia, only missing the final group game against Belgium, though failed to score – extending a barren run for his nation that has last since the back end of 2015 – and registered just a single assist. The English media were quick to pounce on Raheem Sterling before as well as after the World Cup.
Trending
The tattoo of the M16 assault rifle on his right leg attracted the attention of various news sources around England who were quick to call the tattoo 'sickening' and 'inappropriate'. Thereafter, came his World Cup campaign that was flat and uneventful. The English media were once again quick to write in great length on why Raheem Sterling should be dropped and on how Raheem Sterling failed in 'bringing the World Cup home'.
Deemed as one of the hottest youngsters only a few seasons ago, the 23-year-old will look to put this World Cup behind him and focus on making another season successful for the 'cityzens'.
