Croatia look so much fitter but they've played 120 mins twice :confused:

I have no idea why people think this matters. Croatia looked tired in that game because afaik it was ridiculously hot and humid against specifically a team that plays in summer in Russia(mostly) so are dramatically more used to the conditions.

30 mins of exercise in professional football is tiring, but they'll train for 3-4 hours a day, after a game if it's a tougher tiring game you get a bit more rest. The human body doesn't take 3 days to recover from 2 hours exercise otherwise players would never train between games.

Training heavily for months and playing lots of games in a short space of time can leave you as much mentally as physically exhausted.

Rashford just hasn’t worked, where is Vardy?

Football is weird as that’s a red for Pickford if he’s outside the box and not a goalie, huge save though
