I’m a Manchester City fan and I believe that Bukayo Saka is a much better winger than Phil Foden

Saka is a very good player, anyone saying otherwise is just a hater.

After their last game in a major tournament, Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford suffered racial abuse for missing penalties in the Euro final.
Today, they both scored in England’s World Cup opener ❤️ pic.twitter.com/KKoHHRJoYh

Bellingham what a player that lad is. Only 19 years old.
Saka was superb. 2 great goals.
A very good performance. Attack is the best form of defence clearly for this England team.
Southgate has to play a back 4 and get as many attacking players on that pitch as possible.

Southgate’s men will face the USA in their second group-stage game on Friday at the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor.
