Fair play to Croatia playing extra time 3 games in a row and finding enough to get the win. And fair play to England, everyone knows I don’t particularly like them but they’re a decent team to watch for the first time in a long time with a lot of likeable players. Performed far better than I’d have imagined before the tournament. Honestly at times it looked like England had played more extra time than Croatia.

They’ve got better footballers and more experienced, they knew how to handle it far better than England and when you can knock it about like they can it’s always easier to make it look like you’ve got more beans.

All that clamouring for Rashford to get a game and he puts a cameo in like that, absolutely nowhere near the level of Sterling.
I've Croatia backed to win the whole thing so I wanted them to win but full credit to England and the way they've got everyone behind the team. And like as been said thankfuly there's no scapegoat.

The shot of Tripper on the bench close to tears is the saddest thing

Kane and Alli were shite today. Rashford was poor when he came on as well, you could telegraph what he was going to do every time he got the ball.
Feel for Trippier, Pickford and Maguire, rest of the team's performance tonight was fairly average.

I didn't think England could hurt the same way Bolton do. I think that's a good thing.

Have to say fair play to England. Croatia just grew and grew into that, and with that midfield 3 playing so well it was always gonna be tough. Obviously you’s will be delighted with that tournament overall but have to hope Southgate will learn from that, he was too slow to change tactics in my opinion, was clear that Croatia were starting to boss it and something needed to be done to negate it.
All tournament I don’t really think England showed much that said to me they’d be able to create when they really needed a goal. Great and smart from set pieces definitely but in general play I don’t think Lingard and Dele Alli did enough in general play. Sterling in my opinion was excellent, I don’t know if he ran himself into the ground or if that is a preplanned sub and Southgate didn’t want to veer from it but Rashford was a significant drop in terms of a threat.
But look suppose yous don’t want to nitpick right now.
