Flip Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Nothing beats winning it in your home country, which Flip knows all about 7ry1ng to be 7upport1ve and all. I welcome your support Flip. Thank you for your service. Agreed. It was out of order by 2oey1. Harsh to have a ghiggia at his expense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 No idea why you suddenly decided to play more defensively after half time. Was certain you'd go 2 or 3 up, then you invited Croatia back in. Really pissed, wanted you guys to take this. Dislike Croatia very much, and dislike Deschamps. However I guess I'm Team France now. Ugh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Bossed the first but heavily second best after that, fair play to Croatia and good luck against France. Modric, man. What a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 From the 2nd half onward Croatia killed our 3-5-2, Southgate didn't change it and it cost us. Hopefully he'll and the team will learn from it, and push on in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Heroes, ffs. They played ok against two decent sides and managed to break down a toothless Sweden team. Agreed. Easiest World Cup draw they'll ever have, utterly squandered, and they talk about them as though they've been sparkling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Long balls and predictable back passes, man. Fucking infuriating. We just couldn't pass through midfield, or didn't believe we could. We didn't try to from 2nd half onwards. Kane nullified, totally. Rashford poor replacement for Sterling...We invited them to play through us for far too long. Semi final of a World Cup. So not bad. We did better than we have in a long while, so there is that. We're in desperate need of a creative centre midfield player, though. Probably two. RLC should have been on at half time. Would have changed the result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 We exceeded expectations and I'm very proud of that. However why is it both Newcastle and England seem to spend so much of the game passing the ball back to the goalkeeper FFS. The other team are always gonna press higher and with greater intensity if they can predict what you're gonna do every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishMagpie Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 You should have had this wrapped up by halftime. Croatia were fucking atrocious in that first half. From second half onwards only one team 'on' it. Oh, and ITV coverage/commentators was/is completely fucking horrendous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 We will never get such a good chance to win it Your team is really young. If you can keep these players together and they don't get fucked over by their clubs, I'd think you'd be pre-tournament favourites for the next EC and WC. Not to mention the group of youngsters coming through. Time will tell though, no guarantee this group of lads will remain intact and not have their careers nosedive due to their clubs being shithouses when it comes to caring for players actually getting to play - and these players being paid too much to care if they get benched for some Johnny Foreign.

Tooj Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Kane missing that chance in the first half and that header man. The header seems worse for me as he didn't really anticipate it. Shearer would've fucking buried it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
