World Cup 2018

[AdamRochina]

Golden boy Kane absolutely dire right now 

[AdamRochina]

Another game we haven't created anything worthy from open play .. clinging on and only one winner now .. Alli shocking.  Lingard shocking .. young poor . Kane shocking .. we can't string more then three passes together 

[Tom]

Worrying that after the Colombia goal and this one we go to pot for a while which is a problem of having it easy in most games and not being used to it 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Looking totally different side Croatia...hope to God those missed chances dont bite.

[AdamRochina]

Only one winner here to me. . we look shambolic at the back .. we can't even pass forward and attack 

[AdamRochina]

Extra time.   Lucky to get it .. never seen an England side so deprived of ideas up top and so weak in midfield 

[Miker]

Interesting that both England and Belgium have played similar formations this tournament and have easily dominated lesser teams, but I feel both teams are being found out against stronger opposition like France and Croatia.

Even if England win here, I think they will seriously struggle if they persist with the same system against France, just as Belgium did. 

Croatia look tired right noe. They have gone to extra time in all of their games now. Surely has to catch up to them at some point.

Either way, can’t look past a France World Cup win. 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Really poor second half. This lot are giving us a passing lesson. Alli, Lingard are just lightweights in a game like this. We're taking a knife to a gun fight. They keep appealing for fouls that aren't , this is World Cup semi final not Man U v Spurs. We'll see what we're made of now.

[Baz]

Kane gets to 70 minutes and can't run.

Alli off Delph on for me

[jim mk2]

Croatia miles better than us. We've no playmaker to run the midfield. Usual long balls forward and lost possession.

Can't see us scoringfrom open play. Hoping for penalties.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

We're getting bullied out of this, they are stronger.

Thought England looking stronger so far in extra time 

[Darwen Rover 007]

Think Ali has offered very little.. time for loftus cheek 

[Tom]

France will be delighted with this going to extra time 

Croatia look like they can barely move at this point

Great save, fortunate he caught it so clean if he scuffed it it’s in, hopefully that was their one chance.

Pickford has the makings of a hero again after looking shaky earlier 

[wolfie]

We're all getting a bit England here and sitting deep

[Tom]

Shocking defending by Trippier and Stones

[jim mk2]

All over. Well beaten. Not good enough. 

[Tugay's Right Foot]

Trippier out cos of injury. 52 years

[Tugay's Right Foot]

All over. Frigging sitting back sitting back

croatia was supposed to be running on fumes after two consecutive extra time matches! How can they go to the finals. We should have strolled it

Both teams deserve immense credit for that magnificent effort, gave their all for their countries. In pure football terms, Modric ran that game, a brilliant footballer. Well done England for getting so near.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Those young lads did us proud...lifes a bitch.
