Croatia vs England

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

England lost this second half when they didn't come out and go for it they sat back and let Croatia come at them and they did.
Good game to watch but both teams seemed to lack real composure in front of goal.

 

[Art Corvelay]

England play their first proper game against a team in the top 20, get outplayed, lose and only manage a couple of shots on target.

Colour me shocked.

 

[Tormusk1872]

Too many weak links in that England team. Too many “stars” done fxck all tonight: Kane, Rashford, Henderson.

Scotland would have beat them tonight.

 

[Resident_hammy_bear]

was Harry Kane copying kenny miller that game everytime england were attacking he was on the halfway line, taking sterling off was a poor decision as well imo, caused croatia all sorts of problems, oh well

 

[JD1872]

England playing Belgium in a meaningless match for the second time in the same World Cup

 

[Peter_OHanrahahanrahan]

Check out Hyde Park on Sky News right now. Think the Mhanks after the Lovenkrands Final might have a rival for "World's quickest disappearing act"

In contrast, absolute SCENES in Zagreb

 

[Polar bear]

Harry Kane must be the least impressive world cup top goalscorer since Oleg Salenko.

How many were penalties,or shots bouncing
off his heel.I thought he was pretty crap throughout.

Steady on!

 

[BrownBrogues]

when push came to shove England were not up to it , no disgrace in that , but from the second half onwards the Croatians were very comfortable in their play and movement

Made the park wide and took Kane and Lingard out the game. Brilliant game Management.

 

[Glasgow Rangers (Sco)]

not Sure if it was a mental or physical thing with England in the second half and ET.......

The goalie kept lumping the ball up the park. Lingard, Sterling and Ali rely on the ball into feet.

Croatia deserves credit for hanging in there in the 1st half

 

[irvine96]

• Harry kane was piss poor and wasnt involved in the game..If Southgate had any bottle he would have replaced him with Vardy in the second half

 

[jorg_the_hammer]

Croatia for the Cup!

Hopefully. Would be good for another name on the trophy.

 

[Treble Kings]

Holy f#ck, England f#cked up the best chance they'll ever get. Which is nice.....

 

[madride]

Piss poor from England tonight, no arguments the better team won.

Had a fiver on Croatia to win it since the group stages, think France will pump them right enough

 

[JeffreySpaulding]

Unlucky. I would have liked to have seen them in the final. On the plus side, probably going to see some good videos of the pished up fans in England fighting each other and smashing things up.

 

[ColinA]

Well done Croatia

 

[Tormusk1872]

Croatia for the Cup!

I hope to fxck Croatia do win the Cup.

 

[irvine96]

This referee is an absolute disgrace. So many of the wee decisions going against England.

Thought the referee had a good game

 

[baystatebear]

I think the truth is that England didn't have anyone in midfield with the quality of Modric and Rakatic, and consequently lacked the creativity to break down the Croats.

 

[Dooodooodrooo]

Pheewww.


Idu kući

 

[Deleted member 3807]

England can be proud. What an effort they have made. It wasn't to be this time, it's painful to lose, but England's players represented brilliantly. Well done to them all. Commiserations to our English bears, and any England supporters using FF. Next time !
Croatia will test France. They are a very, very good side and deserve to be in the final. Beating Russia, and beating England is no small thing. Croatia v France will be a fantastic final.

 

[loyd_grossman]

Wish Scotland had a manager like Southgate.

That would involve to SFA having a freaking clue and not running the game for the benefit of o e club.

 

[Dingdong1988]

Why the phuck was Kane playing no10 role? Absolutely baffled by it

 

[julescotia]

 

[snoopyboymason]

This World Cup flattered them it wasn’t their fault they got a quite comfortable passage to the semis but they are not really that good a team

 

[Tormusk1872]

Unlucky. I would have liked to have seen them in the final. On the plus side, probably going to see some good videos of the pished up fans in England fighting each other and smashing things up.

....and daft Scottish birds jumping up and down on ambulances

 

[Peter_OHanrahahanrahan]

England play their first proper game against a team in the top 20, get outplayed, lose and only manage a couple of shots on target.

Colour me shocked.

But...but...but...."It's coming home!"

 

[tazzabear]

Aye...in the context of a World Cup they were fucken rubbish.

The World Cup quarter finalists were trash.
I know where you’re coming from.
I genuinely do.

 

[Big Bawz Baloo]

First time England were tested tonight and failed.They are not as good as some make out.

 

[hamiltonbear7]

Harry Kane, why the long face?

 

[Oleg_McNoleg]

Croatia eventually got control and England didn’t have the midfield smarts to deal with it. Still, first time in a good while they’re coming home from a tournament to a warm reception and enhanced reputations.

 

[top_cat]

Harry Kane, not the brightest.

 

[Amato Turn]

il rentre à la maison

 

[Cavalera]

Played 3 decent teams.

Lost 2 and drew 1.

Contenders?

 

[Peter_OHanrahahanrahan]

'Arry will be disappointed

 

[The Lone Sniper]

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Satisfying.

 

[imvaison]

Really not enough of a goal threat from England.
As predicted they are very dangerous from set-pieces (corners and free kicks) but practically toothless from open play.

 

[Superrangers]

Walker is practically eating the turf, to suggest it’s a high boot is embarrassing shite.

I’m sorry but that is absolutely complete and utter pish as you will see clearly from this clip.

Perisic clearly jumps in with his foot raised, the foot is undeniably in a high position (above waist height) and the goal should have been chopped off.

 

[Three-in-seven]

Too many weak links in that England team. Too many “stars” done fxck all tonight: Kane, Rashford, Henderson.

Scotland would have beat them tonight.

You have just got to laugh at this pish.

Every team in the world cup would have beaten Scotland.

Scotland are utter pish.

 

[Aldo007]

Aww poor Engerlund

I wonder if they will analyse how many touches the best striker in the world had in that game..

Fucking magic.. Party time

 

[Napsburybear]

The ITV curse strikes again.

 

[Woodrow Call]

Southgate made some errors in changing his team today. But he will learn from this. England are one or two players short of a very good team.
Modric sets a fantastic tempo in the midfield.
Wonderful player.

Aye Ronaldo and Messi

 

[Jacrispy]

Four foot high turf?
You’re trolling.

He’s diving forward, I know you’re smarting from the result but let’s be honest it’s never a foul.

 

[The Ultimate Warrior]

The World Cup quarter finalists were trash.
I know where you’re coming from.
I genuinely do.

Simpletons logic.....pish teams find ways to make their way in condesend tournaments....see Sweeden - one of their better players is Micheal fucken Lustig....

 

[Gazzamac06]

Too many weak links in that England team. Too many “stars” done fxck all tonight: Kane, Rashford, Henderson.

Scotland would have beat them tonight.

Don't talk sh*te.

 

[sudamericaranger]

I don’t know how a Sweden side who got as far as they did can be considered “dross”.

Don’t you?

Being honest or trying to talk England up? Either way yer wrong.

England lost against the first decent side they faced. Then again against the second decent side they faced.

 

[Elric]

• Harry kane was piss poor and wasnt involved in the game..If Southgate had any bottle he would have replaced him with Vardy in the second half

Don’t pass to Vardy

 

[Peter_OHanrahahanrahan]

And it's begun already, they're a young side who are already favourites to win the next Euros.

Please, please, please, never change, England

 

[Robocop1960]

First time England were tested tonight and failed.They are not as good as some make out.

Just like Celtic in Europe

 

[HendrixBear]

Those missed chances in the first half really cost England. After that great 35 minute spell they seemed to completely lose focus and let Croatia take control. I lost count the number of times they would pass it all the way back to Pickford, pass it back to the middle of the park and then lose possession. Credit to Croatia however, they played well and what an achievement for them to get to a world cup final. Can't see them touching France in the final though.

 

[dmgers]

The game changed when Stones header was cleared off the line imo
Croatia has showed baws this tournament and probably deserve to be in the final.
