"We read a load of people taking the piss and took it to heart because we're numb"

That was noticeable when Croatia switched play like. They were always in acres of space. Given 2 year I'd trust him to come up with another plan like.

"instead of pissing his pants filling the midfield slots with mediocre defensive players" I think he wanted energy in midfield rather than defensive shite like. He made some weird calls definitely, but the way he's actually got us playing a completely new system comfortably is impressive. He obviously knows what he's doing.

Build em up so they can break em down

Waiting for the last minute edit of Sterling hanging next to Claretta Petacci

We were fucked before Sterling went off like Croatia's defending was lifiting in the first half. Sterling never got a sniff in the 2nd. Rashford was utter garbage like.

Alli to me seems like one of those players who for some reason will just never replicate their club for their country, maybe I'm harsher on Alli as he would generally be considered the better player of the two but I much prefer Lingard like.

Wish the forrin freaks not fuck off for the day like

Aye it’s been a while since I’ve seen a ref miss so much.

He was great against Columbia in a weird role (he never really played as a number 9 for most of the tournament). Been utter shite as a goalscorer though and still somehow scored 6

It was 1-1

I’d love to see Triggs drafts for this post [emoji23] Didn't see a second of it. Wanted Croatia to win but would've wanted England to beat France Only pissing about mate

I agree with this actually. Especially once Sterling went off. Nothing seems to open up the opposition when he isn't on. But then when he is on, he does waste a lot of opportunities to deliver a final ball or finish. Lingaard and Dele are culpable IMO. Not enough creativity from those two, which is incredibly disappointing. Agree about Lingard and Alli, like. We were great first half even despite them. But then I'm not sure internationally they're actually capable, unfortunately. Rather than they performed poorly. Was also disappointed we didn't try and change formation at any time during this tournament. We struggled with subs desperately because we didn't really have anyone to come on like for like. I think it was crying out for 433 second half. It's so easy to take Sterling off because when he wastes opportunities it can be so glaring. Even I thought he ought to come off at the time. However, once he goes off it becomes glaringly obvious how little Alli and Lingaard are contributing. And then do you begin to realise there's no way they should have both played a full 90, while Sterling went off so early. Sterling did nowt 2nd half like, Croatia sorted their defence out. Rashford was shite oike after his first burst.

They aren’t real man. Absolute machines. Modric wasn't even tired when he walked off. Was the same against Russia too, he’s fucking ridiculous It might sound daft, but it seemed like Croatia's experience of going to extra time helped them rather than hindered them, they seemed to know how to manage it. Aye they seemed to play it well, 2nd half of ET we were completely dead on our feet. They obviously conserved their energy better.

Eh Did you type this up in anticipation of a loss and just posted it anyway?

They aren’t real man. Absolute machines.

On the plus side, had we equalised we’d now be sitting through a Subasic masterclass and be absoulutely fucking ill

Agreed. Easiest World Cup draw they'll ever have, utterly squandered, and they talk about them as though they've been sparkling. Tbf our squad was utter shite We never overachieved but we’re so used to doing poorly, it was nice to have a side looking up for it.

Such a kicker to have to play this shite like

I like what he’s done with us like, a couple of players coming through/improving before the Euros and a better defence and I think we’ll be a genuinely good side.

The Croats are fucking inhuman like.

Should have been put to bed in the 1st half, we’ve seen that so many times.
