He's putting vardy on.

Need to be putting him clean through one on one else he's pointless

This is it I think. Croatia will time waste and time waste and time waste.

If you don't take your chances, chances are you will be punished. We should have been 3 up at half time, and that would have been game over.And as for criminally going to sleep so often at the back, well, how many wake up calls do you need?

Take your chances or you get punished simple.

But running the ball into the corner and scaring defences with your pace is more important!

We've probably over achieved if we're honest. 3 or 4 players short of a top class international team.

France will stuff either team. Kane anonymous tonight (although no service)

This makes Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville look like mugs saying Croatia are a very poor side.

They have been far, far better than us since the first half.

Oh well, sterling ran a lot, kane held it up to nobody, lingard did nothing and Alli anonymous.

Midfield didn't do much and young awful.

Absolutely schooled

We had more than enough chances to win it but couldn't muster a single shot on goal (apart from the free kick) in 125 minutes of play.
We'll never have a better chance of making the final.

First sniff of quality opponent and we are done. It's been fun but only been allowed to happen cos of the gently journey through

We looked like the team that was shattered. Croatia just kept running and running all night long.

Put us to shame with their energy and stamina.

I'm so angry. We didn't want it enough.

You have seconds left and you're trying to pass it across the defence.

Total joke.

Agree. A lot of average and below average performances. Lack of nous versus streetwise players. First 25mins great. Then Croatia bossed us. Defence comes away with some credit and the likes of Foden to come!

Yep, agree.

First good team we came up against (forget Belgium, that was reserves v reserves) and we lose.

We were very much second best in the end and I know Southgate has had a lot of praise, but he got it wrong today.

Kane was too deep, Rose for Young should have been earlier and we needed to not play so deep as a unit in the second half. We let them dictate play and push us back and we let Modric play without anyone within 5-10 yards of him.

Too many times we were in good positions only to then take the ball all the way backwards and pass back to Pickford.

Very disappointing, because we threw the game.
