So... is it coming home??????????

Good clean hard game in general. However resorted to long passes too often so got as far as we deserved.

That is a good point rpm about how England team (and generally most footballers in U.K.) play.
The style of some other countries is to run with the ball, taking on players and is more unpredictable.

Done better than expected , the team isn't good enough no flair in midfield and no bite.

Whilst I totally agree hammers the stats prove that most previous winners have scored more goals from set pieces than open play. I think the management team set us up to play to these stats with the players they had.

The early goal cost us the match , I thought it the minute it went in , a early one goal lead , no good !!!
players relax , fans relax, its human nature.
It fires the other team up , should have killed them off , seen it so many times . We deserved to loose , I hope they go on and win it

You are not so wrong but you had plenty of good chances to score even more than 1 goal. I see t from a different point as well. If you are in the semi finals everyone wants to win and go further to the finals. Basically, you will do anything to be there that’s what Croatia did. Didn’t play a very fair and clean game but did their jobs even though they didn’t have great chances. Both goals weren’t chances actually very lucky shots. You could have made sure to be in the finals but Kane and somehow other ppl didn’t do their jobs.
