England will blow it ! Too confident now

Croatia have been dreadful. If anyone's scoring next it's England.

Modric strolling around the pitch, he's had a stinker so far.

So was Sterling until the deflected goal.

big miss from kane

Should've been 2, poor from Kane.

Sore one for Kane

Mr.Nice Guy

Kane must have got a bad whack there. The Croatia keeper was concerned.

Good to see he's okay.

He instantly turned to Kane. No hesitation at all

I suppose they are all a bit more concerned about things after yesterday. Good on the keeper there though.

I wonder will clubs start sniffing around Phillips now.

They may sniff, but he's playing for his hometown club and has an almost father/son relationship with Bielsa. He's not going anywhere.

Probably thought Kane may have hit his head off the post?

Francie Barrett

Bizarre yellow for Foden.

Good game management by England for a change. Croatia have been no real threat.

harsh yellow for foden. think the ref must have been getting trigger happy after ignoring fouls all day

Sterling does go down a little easy.

What's with the awful Foden dye job?

Was just thinking that. Reckon it's a Gazza tribute

Standing on someone's foot will do that.

Bad finish from Rebic there.

Much better game this half.

Like Gazza innit

It's his homage to Gazza at Euro 96. It wasn't a good look back then, not sure what he thought it would look good now.

Weepsie

Another carbon copy of a Phillips foul in the first half.

Had the referred done his job and rightly booked him earlier this game is different

Ye talking about his haircut?
At least he got rid of the bowl cut (sort of)

Guy:Incognito

England have had a couple of frees in good positions. Ideal for the likes of Ward-Prowse............

They're calling it "his inner Gazza"

Mr.Nice Guy

Croatia need some changes. I'd like to see Brekalo or Vlasic on.

But then we wouldn't have had enough full backs

Rashford oncoming.

Good of him to honour a wife beating , leg breaking ( his own ironically when trying to cut a Forrest player in 2) raging alcoholic.

Yes yes he has mental health issues, but at the end of it all, he was a bit of a scumbag on and off the pitch.

He was indeed quite unpleasant.

Dammit, I was hoping you'd go through the game commenting on Phillips fouling in every single post!

Neeson

Here comes Rashers with a tray of food. What will he serve up to the Croats?

Weepsie

Is Rashford going to the right, in the position where he has been mostly rubbish or will he go left where he is generally dangerous

But the bantz and hijinks (and what a footballer) but yeah...

Assume it’s Fodden off now anyway

Tom Mann Centuria

Now I need Kane to have 3 shots on target and unpatriotically Croatia to equalise. Then I will win several euro.

Foden’s haircut was not inspired by Gazza - the similarities were pointed out after the fact by some. And the media jumped on it. Apparently Foden merely wanted to ‘change it up’.

Esse85

For a big strong lad, Harry Kane sure goes down like he's been shot so often.

It's inspiration he should not repeat, whatever it was!

That's the sterling we know and love. Still astonished he managed to score.

sligeach

No deflection to guide that wild Sterling effort in this time.

Was the goal he scored going wide? Didn't look like it to me.

Some proper anti English bias in this forum.

Sure. More like he stumbled on a bottle of bleach in kun aguero's vacated locker and thought "why not?"

Oh Kenny, you're such a character! Maximum banter when Kenny is on the scene.

If you saw a fella like that late at night you would not make eye contact, and go to the other side of the road. Fantastic player despite the haircut!
