To be excited about the World Cup 3

[TaliZorahVasNormandy]

Come on England!!

They certainly DID play dirty in the last 10 and the ET. The ref tbf was absolutely shit, and his assts. VAR has been a shambles as expected this WC

Well, England can win something out of this. Unless Mbappe and Griezmann score 3 goals or more in the final or Lukaku scores two or more. Harry Kane will win the golden boot.

End of the day we had 2 shots on target so not surprised. So many wasted chances... But done well to get this far so proud!

Certainly not from England!

Yet here you are on a board with mostly English contributers.

I'm sure your country has an excellent record in international football, which is why you're so keen (not) to tell us where it is.

Croatia didn't play dirty and the ref wasn't that bad. England players at times stopped play when they expected a free kick rather than playing to the whistle.
Kane, Dele and Lingard didn't really show up today.

A lot of people didn’t want England to win

@IcedPurple Dry your eyes for Christ's sake

I think if we had won it would have really pissed of Europe, could be wrong though.

And let's not get started on Sterling...

Forgot about him already....

The lads can go home with their heads held high. I for one am proud at what they achieved but the better team won on the night. Well done Croatia 🇭🇷 well done England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

If only Southgate had forgotten he'd taken him

Trippier impressed me this tournament as did whispers Henderson.

A few players have had their off days this tournament but they've all played their part and more. Can't say any have been a disgrace. Would have liked to have seen more of Vardy wrong time to get injured

Don’t see them letting Gareth go after this.

How much do you think you’ll need for the specs aged?

Sterling played well in first half. Stretched defence perfectly. Their defence and midfield were superb in second half.

I don't have to tell you or anyone on MN which nationality I am. You appear to be over invested in football and I don't for one moment think this thread is predominately English contributors. Your team lost, you're clearly a very bitter loser.

croatia dug deep and wanted it more, so much of winning sport is mental.

No one is bitter, what do you hope to achieve Amarande

Rashford and Loftus-Cheek could've made a difference early in the second half I reckon. I'd like him to give them a bit more time to play on Saturday.

Croatie upped their game the second half and created space. They have some very good players who know just how to do that.

I do wish Pickford had taken out Mandzukic properly with his save

I don't have to tell you or anyone on MN which nationality I am.

No, you don't have to. But when you come on with a gloaty post about an England match, it is sort of relevant.

I don't for one moment think this thread is predominately English contributors.

Given that the overwhelming majority are supporting England, I'd say it's a fair guess.

Your team lost, you're clearly a very bitter loser.

Hardly. I said that Croatia were the better team and won fair and square.

How about your team? What's their record in international football?

Oh yes, you don't want us to know. Anyway, enjoy your gloating and your new-found fangirldom. Good night.

Croatia were better. Simple as that.

Hard luck to England, they did very well to get to the semis.

People do get their kicks in odd ways don’t they - imagine having nothing better to do than antagonise people on the internet... it’s not even quality trolling tonight. Where’s the imagination and wit gone eh? Tsk - wasn’t this poor in my day.

I don’t see anyone being bitter about losing on this thread. It’s didn’t really take a turn for the worse until some people decided to gloat at England losing.
