Really? I was in my teens when we lost in 1990. You said this was the first semi with England in your lifetime. Go figure
But anyway, East-o, please quit while you're way behind. You've made yourself look a total bellend during this tournament - don't make it any worse for yourself.

I know, that why you support liverpool. because they were winning while you were at school.

Please. Plastic fans have no opinion on football. You chase the glory, thats your thing, but opinions towards real fans, no thanks.

Oh dear, nice try.
You know you've fucked up massively on England so you've gone into deflection mode and now it's all about which club we support and where we're from.
Well, that won't work tonight, I'm afraid. England have narrowly lost a World Cup semi-final and the first thing you do is launch into an embarrassing diatribe about the England manager. Really? You should scroll back and take a look at what you've posted about England - I'm sure it will make for entertaining reading.
The one thing you should also take from this is not to act like a dog with a bone when you've been royally cunted, as has happened several times during this tournament.

On the night, we didn’t capitalise in our goal lead and showed naivety but we played against a side with a lot of quality. We’re all disappointed, I am, you are but it’s been an adventure. I’ve enioyed it, Croatia and France have better, more experienced players. We fell short. Southgate has developed the side from Hodgson and Capello who were utter dross.

Spot on, Lawns-o

Sub, I’ve just listened to a caller called Aaron from Leicester on the Sports Bar call England an utter disgrace, who didn’t have a clue, are failures and wasted so many chances whilst not having a chance. Cundy to be fair was speechless and called him scum as he was was a negative twat. I’m sure many thousands will talk like Aaron tonight.

the "oh we did really well, not winning is great" attitude can fuck right off

We were fucking piss poor after the goal, to the point it was embarrassing. It was a genuinely horrendous same as normal performance, shit ourselves and freeze showing.

we had it in our hands and threw it away.

Why should I be angry with a young and inexperienced side narrowly losing 2-1 after extra time to a far more experienced and streetwise side featuring three of the best midfielders in world football?

Eaststand wrote:Well, to be fair, I was correct. As soon as we faced a real team, we folded and Southgate had no idea how to change to outcome.

Roll on the Euros, where we fail again.

The team was left wanting marginally in allareas; up front, through the middle and at the back but it's those small margins which make the difference.

In all the matches, the side has started well but then faded. Kane has to score that chance really and after Lingard stroked the ball past the right hand post, not much more was created.

I'm not anti Henderson or Dier but they are functional journeymen in their positions, albeit at a high level. Further forward, Deli and Lingard are more dependent on others creating for them than they are creating for others (Deli more than Lingard).

In defence, they didn't attack the ball - Percic ducked in almost on the 6 yard line and in slo-mo, as Roy Keen said, John Stones stood still for the split that it took Mandzukic the time to slip in behind and score. If not suffering from physical fatigue, they were switching off mentally as the minutes ticked by. Imagine Chiellini and his Juve boys defending that lead?

But once behind, the lack of a real creator in midfield meant they were relying on the likes of Rashford etc to spark one way or the other which, at that level, they can't do, not yet certainly.

As the ITV pundits said, by the end, the Croats were beginning to do those 4-5 pass moves in the middle third where my head was spinning from in front of the TV, let alone the England midfielders.

Southgate was great at the end and so were the fans.

Onwards and upwards for the 2020 Euros. If they reach the semi-final and final, football will truly be coming home with the matches being held at Wembley.

You seem to be the only person who thinks quite this extremely, and haven't given a single thought towards the opposition.

An accurate summation. .

When the game was in the balance England when more 'route one' and played it down the channels and hope it stuck

Croatia played those 55/45:balls to a team mate believing and trusting he would deal with it and gain a team advantage. .

Bottom line is (and was) Croatia have a fair few better Footballers than England..

No disgrace in getting beat by a better team..
