[Football] WC SF2 Croatia v England

England did well. Mostly because they didn't play like England. In every other tournament I've seen them play in I'd say they have been just about the most boring team of all time. Southgate actually went for it and tried to play exciting football. So (grudgingly :blush: ) credit to him for that (even though he's still ex-Palarse scum). :)

Are these the two worst sides ever to compete in a World Cup semi final. We were on the whole shite. Wrong options but. Well done Gareth for getting a mediocre bunch this far.

Oh well. The proper football starts in about a month and another season in the Premier League. Can't wait.

This whole world cup up to the last 45 and extra time was magnificent. Extremely disappointed with the outcome but the lads have been superb up till now and they've exceeded what any England fan had hoped for.
I'm a little drunk, very disappointed and rather emotional but proud to the core.

and Southgate will stay,the end result is English football although a wash with money is simply not good enough. EPL teams full of overseas players along with many other clubs who are no better than other home grown players. You only have to look at what Southgate has to pick from,Dyer,Henderson,Young,Kane,Sterling and the list goes on just go back to France 98 under Hoddle and compare that side. We are here because of SKY TV.

Very angry that a team who played 30 extra minutes the game before, who had less rest, had tons more energy than our players.

I'm so gutted! May never get so close again. All the top teams were out and we couldn't beat Croatia! No disrespect to them, but we should have beaten them. No threat in the final third. Lingard, Alli, Sterling, Henderson all below par. Only threat was from a set piece.
