Semifinals: Croatia vs England

[USABlue]

England to win on pens now imo, Croatia needed to win in 90, they'll be shattered.

Have they actually made a sub? I really like this Croatia team but I feel they've cracked under the pressure since Spain went out, they knew they were favourites to get to the final and have scraped by teams they're a lot better than.

think you all need to win in ET. This Croatian side has won back to back shootouts and the fatigue advantage goes out the window in PKs

Lack of a quality cm is so so obvious, the Henderson playing well shouts are hilarious

He's half the player without Adam Lallana beside him

Thank God that's the end of ninety minutes, my arse is tighter than Moshiri on the last week before payday, I can breathe for 5 minutes.
The only way I see England getting control again is if they run out of steam, there are signs with one or two.
Allow them to play and it's a game against Belgium on Saturday.

Did they? Not a chance for me.

The midfield is being overrun - need a ball player on like Loftus-Cheek instead of Alli.

RLC for Lingard .

 

[USABlue]

They'd been chasing guys that were EPO-ed to the gills for ninety minutes in the Russia match.

yup Russia was running all over the place, England has been playing long balls all 2nd half

What are our midfielders doing???

We have a one man midfield in Henderson hoof ball that 2nd half - their goal dangerous kicking?
That ref gave us nothing in the 2nd half - we have to get the ball Loftus Cheak needs to be on Rose for young who is being outpaced!

I'd have Vardy for Lingard if he's fit.

 

[dandydan]

It's going to pens isn't it?

 

[riddick]

That is NOT the sub needed

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

Rose coming on, I'd get Loftus cheek on too

got your wish rose for young

 

[duncs pigeon]

Take Kane off. Sure he is carrying an injury.

 

[PhilM]

That is NOT the sub needed

I think Young was exhausted and they were getting in far too often with crosses. Hopefully Rose, with his fresh legs, will press and close more often.

You cannot help but wonder what impact on this game Everton's dynamic duo of Capt Jags and Bainesy might have had, had they been selected. Yes, I appreciate they have a reputation for being backstabbing snides, but their quality cannot be questioned

Southgate would need a Kevlar waistcoat.
