This England team are not heroes. 

Wasted opportunity. 

They played a team of men tonight and little gimps like Alli and Lingard couldn't cut it.

Southgate Murty esque in his weakness. Too loyal to players who were doing nothing all tournament.

Pretty disappointing from England all round tbh. Looked good against dross but were utter wank tonight. Only 1 shot on target all game.

Their midfield is very very average and they rely on Kane but when he has a bad night such as tonight they are fucked.

Henderson is shockingly over rated, good at passing the ball back and sideways, Alli is just pish and Lingard is meh.

The second wind that Croatia got was unreal, just shows when its all on the line you will burst your gut till you drop. 

 

Anyway, France will absolutely spank them. 

Croats left it all on the park, thought wee countries didnt do well in big competitions or does that just apply to Scotchland?

Still maintain Wilshere should've went

Been saying it all tournament. They don't have a centre midfielder who can actually pass. Lingard and Alli both make late runs into the box and Henderson a mediocre water carrier. Awful midfield 3.

They've done well to come from a position of getting beaten by Iceland, to here. 

There's so much potential in that side, but it's all about fine margins and they failed tonight. 

Kane has been absolutely unreal this WC, but tonight he choked. The game should have been out of sight by the 2nd half. 

I'm still not sure about Southgate, I think he's taken a lot of credit for a side who has built their mentality off of set pieces. His substitutions have been questionable and ill timed.  

They should have won that game.

1-0 up and what ultimately cost England was Harry Kane unfortunately. You have to be a killer with that chance, get lift on the ball and it's a 2 nil lead and a ticket to the final in all honestly, I think Croatia probably would have struggled to come back from that. That's the difference between very good and elite strikers in those situations. Plus his header miss, another very good chance for someone like him.
