You need to stop - you really are making yourself look classless and sad.
Crying?
No, Mate.
Pleased for the team to get to a Semi final of a World Cup......and led for an hour.
The bitterness is overwhelming

This forum can be a great place but went downhill the day he joined. Wonder how many (like me) have him on ignore and find the forum less welcoming these days.

Fell short and to be honest from half time onwards we were second best for long periods. However, I thought Southgate and this squad have done well against a well drilled side of seasoned professionals who play in the best leagues in the world. No disgrace and played their best on the night. It's a very young squad, and still rather inexperienced at this level, let alone playing to get to a world cup final. They will come again. I think they can have a great Euro championships on the back of this. They will get better, others will come in, some will depart and I think Southgate will develop as a manager.

Ah well. Wasn’t meant to be. Croatia deserved it, better team on the night. I’ll cheer them on in the final.

Happy to have enjoyed the fun along the way. Proud of our lads, they can hold their heads high.

Anyway back to the match

A few of England issues got found out tonight

Walker at the back - he isn’t a CB and whilst he can get away with lapses of concentration at right back you can’t do it at CB

They just didn’t have the creativity to try something different than a set peice , Sterling again had a good game , his runs were superb and when he went off their backline prob breathed a little easier , sorry but Rashford wasn’t great when he came on , Ali was all over the place. Another very hard working game from Young and Lingard , Kane in open play has worked very hard but lacked a little quality on the ball

For me four players stand out for England and it also highlights a reason why they just fell short

Pickford , Maguire , Henderson and Trippier

All four have been superb in every game they played - Pickford was superb tonight prob the Motm , Maguire was solid again , Henderson gets nothing but stick but I’m glad some have seen how good a player he is and England’s best player is Trippier - he has prob earned himself a very big money move

To be fair we were a minute from beating your lot at Hampden, Kane saved you.
But we are crap yes and have been since about 1983 imo.
Great effort England, keep your heads up. Started great tonight but as pundits say team tired more than Croatia. Needed a Scholes or Gerrard in midfield too.
Hope Croatia can see off France but I doubt it.

LP, Henderson has received nothing but praise this tournament. He has been excellent and people have acknowledged that. He has had criticism previously but not this last month.

Personally I think you’re quite boring.
No offence 😘

Fantastic World Cup for England, far exceeded anyones expectations, Cheers Southgate :thup:
Better team over 120 minutes won tonight, we didn’t create enough chances.
But still a superb achievement and hopefully very promising for the future.
