Semifinals: Croatia vs England

[croatian blues]

England lost the game in the first half, they missed two sitter. I knew if they concede they will fell apart. Biggest advantage for England before the game was that Croatian team is tired. Seems to me it was quite opposite.

Perisic fam, and the Rat man

Above who?

Total bottle job

Utter garbage that. They didn’t deserve to win. Tried to hold on to 1-0 after half time. So negative. England were a joke going forward. ITV going over the top about this being the future. Yes they got to a semi but we have played no one. Belgium we lost and then play a half decent Croatia team and comfortably lost. Croatia ain’t even that great. Proper blown a chance to win it. Also third place play off on Saturday, think I will pass thanks!

So when does the Prem start and we win a cup this season?

Tournament football is all about luck and we got lucky with the draw plus the penalties win against Colombia.

Can't complain. At least they look like a team now. Have to see what we do in the next tournament.

Still have to say, Sterling and Alli were the only let downs for me. Rest have shown they're very good young players.

 

[Papa Shango]

Modric Rakitic Brozovic Kovacic Rebic Mandzukic Vrsjalko all would make the England team.

Agreed. Stuff like this is why England mess up. So insular.

Subasic is a very good keeper too.

Bit like Sweden, Croatia are greater than the sum of their parts.

They have class all over the pitch. Not even close.

It’s an embarrassment. London has more than twice the population of Croatia.

 

[NorthernBlue]

Horrendous tactics and deserved to get beat. Nothing much more to say really is there. Already over it. Roll on August.

From recollection, Eriksen's record from free-kicks hasn't been that exemplary for a while now either. Perhaps @Yid4life could clarify this.

You are correct.

 

[Walken]

Tbf it doesn't matter who you beat. If Everton win a trophy this season and play crap teams every round i wouldn't be arsed one bit.

Of course you wouldn't, but the guys in charge of analysing us and making us better should maybe look at it if we get beat in the semis by the first decent side we face

'The golden generation'

That was the Lampards, Gerrards, Ferdinands, Beckhams, Rooneys, etc.

So this squad has shamed them this tournament. Fair play.

Would you say the same about Uruguay?

Are you Donald Trump?

lol

Unless they are all going to play on the pitch at the same time I don't see how that's relevant?

England has ten times the population of New Zealand, and yet we win more than our fair share over your lot in rugby and cricket. Population size is not necessarily a barometer of sporting success; or China and India would be dominating the sporting world.
