Am I the only one who thinks Modric is a beautiful man?

 

[ilikeost]

Alli got his nutmeg on Modric.

 

[wirE]

Not that I'm complaining, but there have been some situations where the linesman been way off. Clearly, that header was Lovren's

 

[DuDe]

Now no tripps for start fo the season. fuck sake.

Maybe Kane too, if carrying an injury that needs some work.

 

[Indisguise]

There needs to be at least 5 minutes added on here. If not, I'd like to know why.

 

[BuryMeInEngland]

Two weeks ago, nobody gave England a chance. They got to the semi-finals, so that's pretty good going as far as I'm concerned.

That's the tequila talking.

 

[jurgen]

Fuck off

 

[markiespurs]

Croatia in a world cup final, weird.

Think if England had even a below average midfield they'd have won .

Agreed, it’s the one area where Croatia are better than us

 

[wirE]

One last time now, boys. For England and the Crown. We need this

 

[thinktank]

France will batter Croatia.

 

[SdB]

Not at all. They've just got the world's best midfielder pumping through their game and we haven't got anyone to do the same.

How many times have Croatia lumped it forward? It's all we've done in the second half.
Clueless going forward

 

[kaz Hirai]

Trip looking distraught bless him

 

[thinktank]

lol what a greedy ****.

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Croatia have been the better side, no injustice being served here. But they've given a good account of themselves.

Hard to disagree. But I don't think Croatia are all that. They were there for the taking. For some reason we have played a disjointed game and just could not grip the midfield. Some poor defending didn't help.

But overall, the tournament was good for us.

Croatia have a lot to be worried about in the final.

First decent team we lost against, we had a lucky run in my opinion.

 

[wirE]

4 mins. I'm just waiting for Harry to nick the ball in

 

[SdB]

Jesus wept Rashford

We're not clueless, we're just not linking up in the middle in the way they are because we didn't take a midfielder who was up to the job.

 

[dirtyh]

just not enough options or nous unfortunately. croatia haven't been great, just everyone stuck to their jobs and no-one's fucked up

 

[Ekmek]

Rashford have had a very hard time since coming on
