Semifinals: Croatia vs England

[LinekersLegs]

Tbf punting upfield is a valid strategy when your midfield, especially against a side like Croatia, is an obvious weakness and one of your strengths is pace. It equally made sense not to have to rely on it against say Panama.

There was far less reason for the so called Golden Generation to use the tactic.

Fair point. Worked well in the first half.

Ah I see..... well the reason I don’t support the English team is purely down to the fact I’m not English. I feel that’s a good enough reason.

Carry on

Teams lose, they get joked on...circle of life in sports. Everyone on here (rightfully so I might add) was enjoying laughing at Neymar and Brazil, or when Germany went home. Some are so sensitive about it lol I remember in 2014 @Walken when the US lost took a few digs and I foolishly bit and got a 2 week ban lol i deserved it though.

Ha ha ha their hurting tonight!lol The GOT England contingent, in full meltdown mode.lol

I would say very restrained considering the stirring from foreigners. Suppose that's because we are brought up the English way and show restraint under fire.

You do understand none of us foreigners would be Everton fans if we truly didn’t like England, right?

Apparently football isn't coming home.

That is fair enough and acceptable as long as you don't think it's right to slate us.

No shame in that. @Walken is a talent.
