You think? Croatia have sleepwalked into every match so far, but they always come back very strong in the second half. If France underrates these battle hardened Croats, they would regret it like the Euros.joplass wrote:Useless England. This bracket was really soft. France should steam roll this Croatia.

England have nothing to be ashamed of, they should welcome the boys home irrespective whether Belgium beats them or not, they should encourage the team to do better things, next 2-3 years, some of these players will be experienced and come back stronger
So angry Nigeria got kicked out of the world cup once again, i nearly told my wife that i caught my girlfriend with another man today!

Looks like England have found their best GK since David Seaman.
Pickford will be a top class goalie for a long time to come.

22 shots by Croatia, 7 on target. 11 for England with 1 on target: Not exactly sure what“ “many chances” it is English “pundits” may be referring to...wale1974 wrote:Why don't you remove your Bias and Hater hat and go look at the replay........................Where is Sam's Army againKing Futcha wrote:what chances were those? you had one shot on targetDr. Wazobia wrote:We missed too many chances.

They would never get a draw this easy again. Never. At least when Belgium bashed them this time, they wouldn’t say they lost tactically to avoid a tough half of the drawmarko wrote:England have nothing to be ashamed of, they should welcome the boys home irrespective whether Belgium beats them or not, they should encourage the team to do better things, next 2-3 years, some of these players will be experienced and come back stronger

They should not worry too much what group they are put in, they have improved as a team, there will be more players cominqg through the ranks, what is a missing is a creative midfield player like a Pogba or ModricCurve whiz wrote:They would never get a draw this easy again.

Could anyone imagine this England team winning the world cup? The more talented team qualified. Thats good for football. This England team seems young, so they have time to mature. They were not strong mentally but they could improve in the next tournaments.
Re: Croatia vs England match 2-1 Tripper perisic FT Manduzki
Both teams looked bad.
But if Croatia wins this, this will be a travesty. Save for one game vs Argentina they have been more like Greece than anything else.

Not impressed with either team. Small details decided this..both teams playing crap IMO.

This Pickford accent and lisp is a problem in addition to the loss. Doing my head in.

Just imagine England had a creative player like Jack Wilshere in their rank...

You are off your rocker.
Greece never played like Croatia does. Nor has anything close to the class of players we have.
We've made the semifinals twice in the past 20 years and had some good Euro performances. Producing a pipeline of players.
We beat a gauntlet of opponents so far, not by luck, but by skill, out possessing everybody but Argentina.

Lets face it. The moment Russia eliminated Spain this half of the ladder was way weaker than the other half.guest83 wrote:Not impressed with either team. Small details decided this..both teams playing crap IMO.
France and Belgium were by far better than anything in this half of the ladder.
Croatia played one good game of football in this entire competition, yet plod their way into the final. Lets hope antifootball doesn't win the trophy (albeit the antics of Matuidi and Mbappe deserve a dishonorable mention as well).

Well done lads. You brought the nation together and gave us a summer to remember. You will return to these shores as legends....

France did not beat a Denmark that hadn't lost in the previous 18 games in the 1st round. But Croatia did when it had to. It's not the transitive property, but I think Croatia still stacks up well to a very good French team that is favorite in the final.
Let's see.

Re: Croatia vs England match 2-1 Tripper perisic FT Manduzki
Postives for England- they have learnt to pass the ball from behind, no more kick and rush
Negatives- Absense of a play maker like Modric, Pogba, these types of players makes a huge difference in these close games, England need to find a player like this, i saw some under 20 player, think he plays for man city, maybe time for Soutgate to look at other players
When it bores down to it, we have the likes of man united, Real madrid, barcelona, inter milan, Juventus, Chelsea, PSG, Tottenham, athletico madrid representing in the finals
These guys do it week in week out, huge games by big name players, class always counts at the end if the day

Nigeria that totally messed up their first game, an atrocious Argentina side, Iceland, Denmark on penalties, Russia on penalties, England... All knockout phase games among the most sleep inducing matches in World Cup history. Hardly the stuff of legends.mate wrote:marutimon wrote:Both teams looked bad.
