Never got booked twice in a game mind.
Or did he?
Maybe you can clear that up...
The space created because of that'll was in wide midfield. Clearly noticeable. I said we didn't handle it.
Did that rally happen? I thought I saw it.Good for you.
Were you excited about Rebic "getting booked twice" by the way?
He can make as many changes as he wants. What’s ingrained is ingrained. It’s a seriously deep routed problem.
When the nation that is Croatia gives the mighty England a lesson in technical, dominating football, something CANT be right.
Get back to me once you have an understanding of the reasons I have stated what I have stated.
10 out of 10 (ish) for effort. But the cream, inevitably, rises to the top.

I would say Sean that was because we fell back and allowed that space. We came out in the 2nd half with the attitude break us down and when you ivite players like Modic & Rakatic ont the ball more you are going to get punished no matter who you are. I definatley think up and till now we had a nothing to lose attitude, that changed at HT today and went against the grain.
What are you going on about?
Roy Keane a hero?!?![]()
Oh FFS.The nation that is Croatia that finished above Argentina in the group, beating them 3-0?
A hero? Really? Keane was nothing but a coward
Seriously? Do you think any of those three are a better passer of the ball?Shelvey? Jesus.
Understand the riddle that is that GS had absolutely nothing in his kit bag TO change it, and you will be at least one up on the vast majority on here.Have read virtually none of this thread so far my own thoughts are that the midfield was completely overwhelmed second half and Southgate did little to change it. All three were poor second half and I was surprised Southgate didn’t change it. We live and we learn but we will never have a better chance
Come on, it took David Beckham to hold him back when Shearer stood up to him.
Oh FFS.
Could you doubt, for even a split second, that the superior, dominant, better side won tonight’s match ?
Rather like the game itself, it’s all about levels

He was spot on about the first half .Too much passing back to the keeper, chances missed.Keane was 100% spot on.
Exactly, he was very good at making himself look brave.
A little bit like those who like to swear on the internet....

Who in this team today made an effective pass to the players who were supposed to put it in the back of the net?
There needs to be someone who can cut a team in half an this midfield can't.
Right.You’ve stated that nothing has changed. You’ve said that it’s ‘ingrained’. Changes have happened but they won’t be noticeable overnight.
Go away and educate yourself then come back and have a discussion as you will actually know what you’re talking about then
I love this ‘L1 teams’ comment and the fact that you seem to believe it so much
What a prick he looks wearing that fucking thing.No , we were undone by being shit . Lack of ambition and creativity going forward has been obvious since the opening game . For all the hype surrounding Alli and Lindgard they might as well have been sitting next to me for most of the time and , throughout the team , there were too many who were happy to abdicate responsibility by passing sideways or backwards . To blame our demise on two defensive errors is naive in the extreme .
As for exceeding expectations , we beat a pub team and scraped home from set pieces against two others who can only be described as mediocre , at best .
Given the fortuitous draw and the substandard performances of the likes of Germany , Spain , Brazil and Argentina we will probably never have a better chance for another 50 years - and we blew it .
My newly acquired waistcoat has just gone on the bonfire .
Federer lost today.Did I say they didn't. Answer the point, that your "losing to little Croatia" jibe forgot the Argentina game.
If you keep suggesting people have said something they haven't, to escape a point, you're going to end up looking as daft as you have with your Clarke comments.
Again, educate yourself instead of just repeating what you read on the internet and in the papers and you might be able to have a solid discussion
Deserved it in the end,but i thought they were there for the taking and we played into their hands...let them back in by constantly giving them the ball back and in the end they were better than us...Pity we couldn't have got the 2nd goal,as i think that would have killed them off.Best team won. Although the gamesmanship from them peed me off.
