Tell the truth, did you notice that England players didn’t take the knee recently? Didn’t think so.
Gareth Southgate’s players have made the symbolic gesture ever since their game against Iceland in September 2020 but suddenly stopped last month for the UEFA Nations League fixtures against Italy and Germany.
But no-one clocked, no questions were asked. That is partly my fault, I noticed but fell short of querying why they’d stopped.
England haven’t won in six matches and prior to their stirring comeback against Germany at Wembley last Monday night hadn’t scored in over 500 minutes.
