Duff talking about world class players. He told us at half time that Kane was world class because he missed plenty of chances and didnāt mind.

Just one creative player could make the world of difference to them. Maybe one will happen along. Young squad, surely well bonded by the experience now. They might surprise us in 2 or 4 years.
Notwithstanding the fact that Croatia are the better football team, England just donāt have the togetherness to overcome a superior opponent, at least not in the pressure cooker atmosphere of a world cup semi final. I suspect many of the English players donāt even like or trust each other, while I doubt the Croatians suffer any such issues.

The right results in the two semi-finals. Both Belgium and even more so England were in strong positions after solid/impressive first halves and both of them wilted terribly, drifted out of the game and became very passive. France and Croatia had the skill and mental strength to take control when the pressure was on and are worthy finalists.
Prickford goading Mandzukic reminded me of Harte goading Pirlo in Euro 2012. Both of them got their answer.

As the coaches will tell defenders ādonāt let the attacker see the number on your back.ā Walker and Stones both made that mistake for the Croatian goals.

The unbearable smugness of Gary Neville at half-time combined with that horrible, thick cunt Pickfordās antics was just a glimpse of the nightmare we escaped from tonight.

Harte was never the same player
Harry Maguire fixes his hair as the ball is coming back in for that second goal!
āŖIreland faced three better teams in the 2012 Euro group stage than England met all World Cupā¬. This could be the worst thing ever to happen to England because they actually think theyāll be going in the right direction.
