    @KiwiMurph Kane was really disappointing. This was the game he needed to step and finish some chances, but as you say he played way too deep and was basically anonymous the whole match.

    Just realised Croatia only has 4 million people. How awesome would it be if they pulled this off?

    If does Croatia does win the WC then Modric has a very good chance of breaking the Messi-Ronaldo stranglehold on the Ballon d'Or.

    At least lukaku has de broyne and hazard to provide the service. England have no one to create anything. That's what he has to find.

    Simple aye? Keep firing the ball in to the box, have guys there, or arriving at pace. It only has to work once.

    Dolazi kući!!!

    And after seeing their president, I hope the cup is dolazi kući right between the president's bosoms.

    I was cheering for Croatia because their President is pretty hot for her age and its a bloody small country. That's how much I know or care about soccer.

    I was cheering for Croatia for one reason: my hatred for the 'it's coming home' bullshit. You'd think England would have learned by now that you don't print the t shirts or the mugs or put up the billboards or make the wanky tv ads until the captain is holding up the trophy.

    Pretty sure it was ironic. General feeling i got was this was a pleasant surprise for the english, a team they liked, doing well. Seems they were just proud for once

    For the winning goal, Stones switched off. Wonder if the notably forgiving UK media will go to town with it.

    Eng getting 5th minute goal stuffed them up really. They lapsed into fap around mode too easily

    Thought they played great in the first half. Kane had a sharp chance and if he'd managed to score 2-0 would have been good. Second half they seemed to lose steam, sat back and Croatia had heaps of time on the ball with little or no threat of being punished on the counter. Agree with everyone else that England has no playmaking midfielder, they haven't had a really good one since Gazza. The problem is that all of the best playmakers in the Prem are not English. Guys like Lingard, Sterling and others look great playing alongside world talents but look a little more ordinary when not

    It seems to be Southgate's plan to have him play deep, this is not the first game it's been done. The trouble is, England need him up front

    Fuck them.

    The amount of Celts I've seen getting on the English bandwagon is nothing short of sickening not to mention all that 'coming home' shit. What a pack of dicks, celebrating that sort of crap while there's still two fucken games to play is a recipe for disaster so I'm glad it came back to fuck them in the arse.
