    Kerr is the draw for the 3rd place playoff as there is absolitely no other reason to watch it.

    Kerr is the only commentator on Irish TV who actually knows what he's talking about, yet he's probably the most hated, I don't get it!

    To be fair, England have pretty much controlled this first half.

    Think the 2 extra time games in a row has shattered them.

    Is Modric even on the pitch?

    Missed the first half, but it seems that early goal came which complicates things but obviously makes things a lot better for England.

    Croatia that lethargic?

    Looking forward to the second half now I'm home

    Just seen the replay and that should have been a pen to Croatia right on half time. Maguire on Lovren.

    With VAR and some of the decisions we have seen how the hell was that not given as a penalty???

    Do the English realise that this is a contact sport?

    Thankfully the Croats aren't doing the same otherwise it would be a terrible game to watch. Or maybe they are just being too naive and that's exactly what they should be doing.

    They look pretty leggy alright, those extra time games seem to have caught up with them

    Need to find a way to get modric into the game in the final third to hurt England.

    I think they're just ****ed tbh

    No zip about them whatsoever, no idea what they have in the bench to inject some tempo to their play but England are there for the taking at this point just happy to sit in and let them come at them

    They need to be working more shooting positions and start testing Pickford cause they are vulnerable at the back themselves and one more goal ends it.

    As long as there's only a goal in it...

    They have little pace and that's a problem, but if you're hanging around the box you never know.

    They've plenty of industry and not a huge amount else in that front three but that can get you over the line in tight games.

    Momentum has completely shifted this half, can Croatia win it in normal time?
