Small boys in the park, jumpers for goalposts, rush goalie. World cup thread.

Sterling still making runs, it is Ali and Henderson not finding those runs in te second half, Rashford will do nothing if they continue not to.

Who keeps playing the national anthem on the kazoo?

Yep, Alli has done nothing. At least Sterling  runs about a bit!

Too much pressure….

Pressure got to stop ..

Wobbling under pressure as usual, looks like those wasted chances in the first half will come back to haunt them.

I reckon Croatia will win it in extra time or on penalties, might as well go out now rather than get everyone’s hopes up and get to the final and get stuffed by France!

England look laboured at the moment. We don’t look like creating a scoring chance!

might as well go out now rather than get everyone’s hopes up and get to the final and get stuffed by France!

can’t say i understand that in the slightest.

game of two halves.  could have been three behind this half……

have to say though, hints that england tend to withdraw into their shells when put under pressure i reckon. Doesn’t bode well against a strong france.

Don’t take me home,

Please don’t take me home,

I just don’t wanna go to work,

I wanna stay here and drink all the beer,

Please don’t, Please don’t take me home…

Well….this was somewhat predictable.

Right come on England just calm down a little bit and keep control of the ball.

Well this should favour England ..those Croatian boys look dead on their feet ..but unfortunately whoever gets through will suffer on Sunday ..

Are Croatia starting to look tired or is that just wishful thinking

mm not noticed so much, what you want to hope is england were just taking a breather there.

England needed this break for ET more than Croatia. They all look shagged.

Kane has been poor since the qualifying round. He’ll score in ET now of course. 😀

What ever the result is I have not been impressed by either team. I reckon it’s France’s world cup looking at these two. 30 mins to get yourself into  world cup final, may never happen again….go for it.

is it to early too mention the P word? 😆

Yup, I predicted France for the cup. Thankfully I was wrong about also predicting us out to Germany on pens, but I don’t see us or the Croats beating France

Pastries ?

Nope, the French make great pastries 👅

Cheating Croats?

Croatia starting to fool the ref now.

I’m going to say it. England played better when Dele Alli was injured.

I have lost concentration after 90mins full time as it is rather stressful watching the match now … 🙁

Think this ref is bent.

stop with the excuses already! 😆 still a half the play!

Exactly what do England have to do to get a free kick here?

@ Prince John….  What can Croatia get away with before the ref sees through it?

Can’t deny England’s work ethic, they’ve been all at it and are knackered.

Good show lads.

It’s over ..

Dammit … 🙁

Balls

Croatia deserve that tbh.

Good goal that..

Croatia deserve that tbh.

Absolutely.

England should have scored more before … not enough killer instinct.

It’s over ..

The crowd think it is.

Cant argue with seosamh.

i was thinking of doing the hoovering.

pish.

still plenty  time for another.

Country was fooled into thinking it was going to be different this time! Fooled I tell ya
