    England well-beaten by a technically superior Croatian side. Radio 5 going on and on about how Gareth’s young lions have over-achieved. Edged past Tunisia in extra time, beat the tournament’s pub team Panama, lost to Belgium reserves, drew with Columbia minus James Rodriguez, beat awful Sweden and then brushed aside by the first quality team they met in Croatia.

    At least now England are out we’ve got a quality final between 2 fine footballing teams.

    He's right as well. They get well ahead of themselves and it all ends in tears.

    Not impressed at all with that Modric guy. He may be brilliant for Real Madrid but seemed pretty ordinary tonight.

    1 shot on target after Trippiers goal. Just not good enough.

    Watching England in the 2nd half and ET reminded me of watching the Jacks (on Sky) i.e a doomed team. No pace, creativity, no shots on target and when they did have the ball woefully slow in distribution and getting the ball forward. Croatia deserved it. If someone built a 'Gareth Bale' factory they could certainly sell one to England and a Rambo and Joe Allen as well. Let's hope our boys make the next one and we can really take interest.

    Croatia were superb from 45 mins on. Deserved every bit of that win, well done lads.

    Agreed. England had their chances first half when they were on top and playing well and with confidence, but Croatia had much more heart from the 46th minute onwards. Best team won

    England have very little creativity

    You never know on here when there's a whoosh but this is a wind up right

    England better team until Croatia scored and should have been out of sight.

    Don't even think England dominated in the first half, especially not in the manner that is being made out. Croatia were miles better than England from the start of the second half, in fact, any England performance this tournament. Kane will get away with that miss as he is the golden boy, but truth be told, that lost them the game. Hope Croatia do France.

    THIS!

    Watch the whole game back. Croatia controlled the first half even though they were one down. England were opportunistic (and should have been two up). Croatia were clearly the more intelligent and IMO better footballers. It was as if england didn't really want to play with the ball. I suppose that was the idea, don't try and play Croatia at a game you are going to lose.

    That midfield three of Alli/Henderson/Lingard has a little bit of not much at all.

    I can see what Henderson brings to the side in terms of balance, England look far worse when Dier is playing instead of him, but playing both Lingard & Alli makes little sense to me (you can throw Sterling in there as well). I'm not sure the 3 at the back worked as well for them as has been made out
