As I keep saying, we have no craft in midfield. Bad move to take off Sterling.

Agree. Bewildered by the Sterling substitution. He was obviously causing their wing back problems.

As opposed to a good move bringing on Rashford?

Poor from Walker, should have attacked that ball. Croatia found a pulse and England hanging on now. Is Welbeck in Southgate's thinking at all? Could cause some havoc.

I think Walker losing the head earlier was a catalyst of nerves and lost composure but that goal was all About Peresic imo. Class play.

On a side note the England side look very smart in their kits.

Very poor from England now. Dislocated, no midfield, sloppy.

Still gaps in that Croatia defence.

Croatia have so many really poor players yet at the moment, they are all over us.

Go figure.

Their final pass has been largely woeful.

Is Wenger coaching Croatia in this SF? Their build up play is so slow and painful to watch.

Croatia MAY have blown their chance.

But France will beat either of these two.

Well England have done well there to see out that heavy pressure. Game of two halves :)

England should have been out of sight at HT
Croatia were poor. They had the 2nd but too many crap passes in the final third.

Anyone's game this.

I think that’s because they are a very limited team. Trouble is, we are too.

Croatia's third extra time on the trot, fatigue might be a factor here. I fancy another goal for somebody, Kane has been poor but it wouldn't surprise me if he scored.

And if we're going to that then maybe bring Vardy on. But you're right, the midfield just vanished last 20 minutes of that half.

Not that I think Wilshere would have been the game changer!!!!

Maybe the Ox though.

Our front players have been poor. Our midfield are plodders. Our defence is the reason we’re still in this. Trippier impresses particularly.

Rose is a hopeful introduction.

Could have done with a 4th midfielder but GS has been brave keeping faith with the system and going with Rashford. Good start to ET here by your boys.

Croatia doing really well considering 3rd stint of 120 minutes in a week.

Kane playing midfield. Vardy on for Dele Alli would be useful.

Good luck lads in the last 10.

Alert play there by Manduzic but poor goal to concede.

Croatia decided to play harder in the 2nd half of extra time, and it paid off.
