We are better than I expected but we still lack real quality in midfield. We still can't keep the ball too nullify opposition pressure.

Reasons to be cheerful but we really need to bit very carried away and keep building.

Gutted this morning.

  Right, I’m off out to smash some shop windows, jump up and down on some ambulances, and then ignore football for two more years.

  I just hope Croatia can keep it going and beat France. Unlikely, but if they show the same spirit they have that chance.

  I really hope so. It would soften the blow somewhat.

  Bye England.
  Unbelievably easy journey to the Semi: not the quality to reach a final.

  Opportunity missed. It might be decades before we get another WC semi final and when we do it is highly unlikely to be against another second tier team like Croatia. Harsh as it may sound, neither of these teams should be anywhere near a WC final. I have nothing against Croatia but I hope France win on Sunday as the WC should only ever be won by a top class team.
  
  Looking at it objectively, we beat two appalling teams in the group stage, a second rate South American team on penalties and then one of the worst European teams at the tournament. As soon as we came up against a slightly above average team we lost and looked clueless. There are signs of improvement but I’m not sure I’ve seen anything that suggests we can win big games against top teams.
  
  Lack of Plan B, one too many lightweight players in midfield and an appalling first choice attacking sub (Rashford) all need to be addressed.
  
  That "second tier" team had 20 champions league winner medals in it compared to the one (Cahill who didnt even start) not counting all their league wins compared to England we are third tier at least and we gave them a game we can build on this.
