Before the game started, there are numerous reports emerging of issues between fans, including this rather lame and truly embarrassing business with some supporters pretending to be hardcore soccer hooligans.
Thankfully, some people can behave like rivals, without entirely losing their minds. One fine example of this would be West Ham’s Declan Rice.
Footage has emerged of the Hammer handing over his match-worn shirt to a young Tottenham fan, after last night’s Carabao Cup game, at Spurs. Rice was also a revelation on the park, for West Ham. For me, Rice was their man of the match.
Rice wasn’t just good, he was frankly exceptional. if we dare to glance at the rising stars’ total successful actions, then we get an immediate sense of the 22-year-old’s presence. 81% in this discipline is tremendous.
Want more? Try a passing accuracy of 94%. Or 80% of successful long passes. Then there were also Rice’s 64% successful offensive tackles.
Anyway, I digress. Nice work, giving that kid his shirt.
