I might get listened to now. Game is not over as I write this. Far far better players than Croatia. We dominated first 30 minutes - but the mentality is just the same - SCARED TO WIN !!!
We were NOT crap. But it is fair to say that, for the last hour at least, Croatia were the better side. Modrić and Lovrum were absolutely outstanding.
Another idiot thread. Overall it was a magnificent achievement to go out in extra time of the semi to a very good side. They'll come home as heroes as in 1990 and so they should. To say they were crap is an insult to them. Southgate got the maximum out of a limited squad and he can be proud of that. Let's hope they get a massive welcome back because they went far beyond everyone's expectations.
My Son lives in Australia and the attitude over there is so different to ours in sport - we absolutely love to pull our English teams to bits at any sport, if we lose we are crap, if we win the opposition are crap, i give up
I don’t think it’s a national thing just, just the trolls and weak minded that for some reason seem to glorify in it
Give it a rest it’s not the time. For the first time in a long time I’m proud of our lads. They gave everything they could. It wasn’t quite enough they have restored pride and been brilliant. Lost to a better side on the night. Onwards and upwards.
This lot have done somethingI thought would never happen, they have got me excited about the national team again.Seem a good bunch of lads , grounded not the big time Charlie’s of the past
How **** we are. Only the fourth (at worst) best fottball team on the planet. I wish I was the fourth best in the world at anything other than being a ******. One day I may overtake young nudger and become third best
We fundamentally got a lesson in pressing the man and space therefore nullifying our midfield passing game. They could only do this by being incredibly fit, especially for a team having played so much football.
