The best team won. They had the quality we didn't. The second half was a total shitting on. Been a a great world cup for England though.

Agreed Chalks, I'll back Croatia against France. We did well, much better than Poland and Germany who were both awful  Not forgetting Argentina  |

To be fair England did better then the public expected. Young team which can progress for the future. No one can deny Croatia the win as better team overall. Credit to Southgate.
Lost against the first decent team they came up against. Helped along the way by an extremely favourable route. They're no Wales  |

First half we were in total control, then Croatia controlled the second half and extra time.
Had chances to be out of sight in the first half, Kane has had his worst game of the tournament at the worst time. Gutted, but got further than anyone expected.

We took the game to them in the first half and they looked poor. If we kept that up = different story. Go on and do the business Croatia

Credit to Southgate. they did, better team won on the day (shit winner). if Kane hadn't turned into sterling on that chance... massive missed opportunity. may never get a better one. good overall progress, pride restored, but ultimately so what... hey ho. Proud, but massively pissed off. |

Oh, and hopefully that ends the Sterling/Rashford debate.
Thought Sterling was good till being taken off, then Rashford poor.

If we can add a midfield maestro to add some creativity, this team could do stuff.

Was crying out for Loftus Cheek. Not Eric Dier.
Alas, it's been a great tournament.

Pericic was absolute quality. Modric got better as the game got on. Player for player they are better than us and we took them to extra time. Feel proud and disappointed at the same time. I hope Croatia go on and win it.
I think this team can grow but as said a midfield maestro is the most urgent requirement. What is Anton Rogers doing nowadays

No complaints. Lack of quality cost us in the end. Should have taken advantage of being on top in first half.
Overall, we over achieved in terms of the competition as a whole.
