Agreed, but absolutely sensible to preserve energy in the group stage.

As above but not so sure Croatia are as good as everyone were predicting and had nothing up front so Mings & Stones weren't really teste |

It was good to get a win against what was on paper our toughest game but I’d be amazed if that turns out to be our toughest group game.
Croatia never threatened and we didn’t really do enough in the attacking third. I’m gonna put that down to the fact we were 1-0 and didn’t need to do anymore. You have to hope there is another couple of gears in this side.
We’ll have a tougher game against the Scots than we had today

Yep. Sure it was something like: W D L 0 5 4 or W D L 0 4 5 10th time lucky but lots of draws there though, so definitely at least one win before today (if your name is Luke)  |

I'd say there definitely is a 3rd & 4th gear in that team. England were more akin to a tap today and mostly had control of the flow. For the first 20mins they were 2nd gear, then dropped it to 1st. Croatia obviously grew into the match but quite possible that England knew that Croatia didn't offer much threat. When they needed to turn the "tap" on, they definitely did. Not getting carried away but if people were impressed with Italy (I was) beating arguably easier opposition then I'm impressed with England today. When you look at opportunities...Foden, Mount & Kane could all have got on the sheet today too. Foden by about an inch, Mount by a bit more dip, Kane by being a little more sharp at the back post (defender did well though). Did enough today, more to come and they'll ramp it up v Scotland I'm sure. That match will take us all back to '96 again hopefully. Wembley crowd were a bit flat at times so expect more of an atmosphere v the Jocks. Tasty! |

You missed my point as I was highlighting another local player that we missed out on |
