That Croation equaliser came out of nowhere.
I shouted out loud "That's a surprise!" (or words to that effect).
That Croation equaliser came out of nowhere.I'm more concerned about just how easily we were beaten in the end. Hands down Croatia were far the better side from the second half on.
We played like minnows and far too within ourselves. Seemed to be holding on for the most part, even though Croatia didn't really threaten that much.
Why? I have never said Croatia are a poor side.If Kane had converted an easy chance Croatia would have been beaten
We’d then have lost to France and you would then have said that they were the only decent team we’d played.
France who struggled oddly to beat Australia in the early stages and were dire versus Denmark.
Three wasn't it?

Feel free to go and quote the quote I never made though.
All I have said is that pundits have been saying what a poor side they are.

Haha Croatia were a class above?My outside bet on Croatia is still on. Fair play to England but Croatia were a class above.
It wasn't, they were pressuring.That Croation equaliser came out of nowhere.

He has not been the Harry Kane we know.Kane was awful, think most of it was masked with his pens.
Their finishing was better. They opened us up a few times.Haha Croatia were a class above?
We should have been 3 up at half time. They certainly weren't a class above. After 120 mins they probably just deserved it.

Think it will be good to play all the second string to cut their teeth in tournament footy though tbhYep, would've been game over by half time. Can't explain how Kane didn't score or how Lingard in acres of space put it wide.
Also think this 3rd/4th place game needs to be scrapped. Neither team wants to hang around and you gain nothing from winning it.
Our 'fullbacks' suddenly became anonymous, especially Young, who was far too deep and they just kept coming down the flanks.Really!?
Every time they got the ball they targeted our left as nobody was there, weren’t pressured easy cross in but we looked happy to just keep defending their balls in.

Only time we troubled was the goal.
On paper France are better in every position except perhaps goalkeeper. As for Croatia, they can now have the honour of Mbappe pissing all over their prehistoric defence on his way to the trophy.
Will probably be the same degree of energy and effort and application too.Already had a B team fixture against Belgium don't need another and it has about as much point as the first one
No doubt Southgate will show his true colours and patriotism by making another earner with a Pizza Hut advert with a paper bag over his head!
Yeah but they didn't trouble from them. That was my point about finishing.Disagree Kane and Lingard both had sitters

Wouldn't say Lingard's was a sitter, but no idea how he didn't even hit the target.Disagree Kane and Lingard both had sitters
Stones showed his inexperience by not picking up his marker. Maybe Cahill would have offered an experienced head amongst an inexperienced back three?That Croation equaliser came out of nowhere.

Can't say I am looking forward to it, but will still watch.
Shouldn't be playing then if he isn't fit enough.I think he was knackered as well think he’s carried a knock for a large portion of the comp tbh.

Was much easier to hit the target than miss.
Did the keeper have to pull off great saves or were we awful in front of goal? Same all competition.Kane and Lyngard missed easy chances - we controlled the first 45 minutes
Yeah but they didn't trouble from them. That was my point about finishing.
They also hit the post and forced Pickford into a save. He has saved us a fair few times.
Trippier too.I think he was knackered as well think he’s carried a knock for a large portion of the comp tbh.

They took them though. We would have tried to pass it around 100 times.Yes which were chances created by us fannying around in our own third of the pitch.

Why deny them a bit more international experience?Already had a B team fixture against Belgium don't need another and it has about as much point as the first one
