Do Croatia have 12 players on the pitch?
What was Southgate hoping to achieve by bringing Dier on?
Finishing top4 is letting the nation down?
So much backwards passing my mum is confused about which end England are attacking
Yeah and don’t worry, anonymous Rashford and Vardy have contributed... nothing.Once Trippier's legs had gone it wall all downhill - I think people serious underestimate how much he has been propping the team up (not forgetting Pickford's keeping) Kane has been practically invisible the last couple of games as well.
Classic DM post.Finishing top four due to a fluke of the draw and facing the first half decent team in the semi final doesn't make England better. IF we faced Croatia or Belgium or France in the R16 we'd have been out then. A semi final isn't automatically amazing if you didn't play anyone good to get there and going out in a group stage isn't automatically bad if two of the three other teams are say Brazil and France.
There have been no overly impressing performances, multiple players who offered little throughout the tournament and today most of the team looking very poor for the majority of it against a weak imo Croatian side.
Croatia had 7 shots on target,2 made it. England had 1 shot on target. That is the problem, just no final delivery from great set ups.
