Kane bruv, bro, brah

[MacAdder]

Both England goals avoidable, keeper coming off his line and defender heading a tame cross out for the decisive corner.
Not over impressed thus far.

[Heathblue]

Like Ronaldo this looks one tournament too many for Modric England well on top at the moment

[Taunton Blue Genie]

Fair play to England. Very hard-working opposition with a goal or two up their sleeve. However, the victory was well-deserved.

[Fatty Foggon]

Decent opener by England. Much prefer Henderson to Pickford in goal.

Looks to me like Martinez can’t sub CR7.

[Rock_Flock_of_Five]

Decent opener by England. Much prefer Henderson to Pickford in goal.

Pickford constantly putting his foot on top of the ball and then rolling it back 2 or 3 steps. It's like he thinks he's prime Beckenbauer.
The first 20 minutes I got tired of seeing the ball at his feet, with him gesticulating to his teammates as to where he wants them to be.
His long, down field kicks, were invariably met by a Croatian defender.
Nevertheless, that was a good England performance.
