Deserved.

Southgate must be suffering with favouritism with some of these decisions.

Yup how you can have Loftus-Cheek on the bench and bring on Dier is baffling.

Distinct Emperor's New Clothes feel to Southgate

Weeeeey. Finally.

If France get to face this aging Croatia side who've had three 120 minute games and a day's less rest, I swear...

Bring on Rose

I can't believe this is still a game, much less one that England could lose.

Need a set piece or no time to think

Get Young off! Ballwatching like fuck.

Commentary giving excuses already

Game should be done.

Ugh

Sterling just drops the joypad when it's time to shoot or pass. So frustrating.

He's quality

Wally fucking Two.

Given how England have faded in second halves, I really hope a one goal lead is enough at HT. Then again, Croatia should be knackered!

What a load of shit Good point, he's been lethal. He’s causing them more problems than any other player. Agreed. Doesn't mean I have confidence in him using the ball when he gets in those positions. He's been great for the team, but also pretty wasteful it's fair to say.

Doesn't look alive to danger.

What a load of shit Good point, he's been lethal.

Watching at home with two screaming kids distracting me probably, but not nervous like I would be when Newcastle would play the mackems. Historically, I've only ever really supported Newcastle players playing for England, and always felt more British than English so don't have a natural connection to the England team (which was exacerbated by teams who really didn't represent me - eg. John Terry, Ashley Cole etc). This bunch of players are more affable without me being invested in them massively. I would hate for France to win the tournament though, so hoping England get through in 90 tonight, then destroy France on the break on Sunday.

Probably with my eyes.

I'm really rooting for England now. Couldn't stand France winning*, and don't trust Croatia to do the job. * put your mortgage on them.

Bit unsatisfying to have this decided by a set piece. On the other hand Belgium have been abysmal IMO.
