Gary Neville had a blunt reaction to the Colombia coach barging Raheem Sterling

The word "numpty" was included

Wayne Farry

Gary Neville had a rather curt and appropriate summary of the behaviour of one of Colombia’s coaches towards Raheem Sterling.

The incident in question had seen a Colombian coach barge into Sterling as the sides left the pitch at the end of the first half of the last-16 tie, which England won on penalties.

At first, it seemed like Neville was merely discussing the game, saying that he felt England had lacked the final pass in the final 20 minutes of the game, but then he turned his attention to the coach.

In a very short mention right at the end of his sentence, Neville said: “…and that coach is a numpty for doing that to Raheem Sterling”.
