Before the game u were the optimist..im still an optimist..this is a huge improvement compared to previous tournaments

Yes ok...we have had a fine world cup..a young squad..a lot of players who have enhanced their reputation..we just came up short today because we allowed a world class midfielder too much room. Had we had a player like scholes, gazza or hoddle in there we would have won the game. Had stones header not been cleared off the line, we would have won. Fine margins. Croatia were the better side after half time by which time we should have already been out of sight..inexperience cost us the game. A more experienced side would have taken control after the break. It just wasnt meant to be and at least we are officially in the top 4 teams in the world

Is that the booze talking..when you calm down you will feel a bit silly writing all this

Dont be silly far from bang average

Cant stand croatia.. come on france...hump em

The ref was definately on the side of the croats

The better team won..if our midfield could have matched the rest of the team we would have won the game...midfield was always our weak position

England better team in extra time

England are panicking too much..stop hoofing the ball

Too many chances blown

Nerves are really kicking in...huge doubts in my mind..its miserable outside and the game is on our bogey channel...itv.....but we can do it.

This might sound concieted but we deserve to be in the final more than croatia. How many times have we been cheated in quarter finals, second round ties..been so close in semi finals..a post's worth away. Croatia havent been anywhere near that..granted they have only exsisted for 20 odd years but we have had to suffer heartache for more than 50 odd years. We deserve this.

I also believe if rashford had been coached properly and given more time in his proper position he could have been as good as mbappe

Everyone said rooney was the new pele after euro 04 so i will hold off my judgement on mbappe for another couple of years

The only positive is portugal were expected to be hammered and they beat them on their own turf

Harry maguire

I used to think rashford was as good as mbappe..not anymore. Rashford has all the skills of mbappe..but he doesnt have the explosive pace that mbappe has..that is what sets him apart from the rest of the world..he will never be a patch on the great ronaldo though

Confident of winning tomorrow but i think france will slaughter us

Mbappe brilliantly talented but an absolute diving cheat

Average? Hes liverpool captain. Hes alot better than average..im sure your opinion is more valid than that of shearer..ferdinand..klopp etc

Do you know why im more confindant about winning tomorrow? Because we arent playing france

Not denying that..i would still prefer henderson

Pogba sure. But in all honesty i dont think anyone outside kante is a huge step down. Matuidi is a water-carrier, ali has far better stats in the premier league in the last couple of seasons compared to pogba. If it was an england france final then you would say that france would be 70-30 on but bigger shocks have happened

Agree mostly but i think we slightly shade it as even though their midfield is far better we are stronger everywhere else

I dont think modric will be able to be as offensive..as i said earlier if croatia commit too many players forward, the speed of our attack will leave them open..i think the croats are more likely to make changes..a lot of their side are past 30 and 2 games of extra time will have diminished their fitness even further. I also think we are a better side than them. Im not worried about this croatia side..their final third is toothless
