We were beaten by a better team but there is a lot to be optimistic about,our U-19 & U-21 teams are winning international trophies & if we can keep hold of Southgate we can only get better.

We should have won. We didn't, France will get another.

Empty garage, awaiting new toy :)
Strange refereeing there tonight, possibly a game changing decision or three made by him.

The new England team did well to get to the semifinals.
lets not forget that :)

We should have had 3 in the first 30 mins!

I hope Croatia go on and win now. Purely because they’ve grafted the most and I feel deserve it.

But three games all going to extra time might just take its toll.

The team got a lot further than we anticipated, well done to all the team and fans a bit more luck and experience who knows, I'm proud of the overall performance, so it's not coming home not yet anyway. They gave us hope and pride back.

I wouldn't say only chance, but this was a good chance.

Of course it was Andy but the nation are behind this team and can continue to do so which frankly hasn’t happened too often ...

It was rubbish to lose and we missed chances and seemed to be asleep a couple of times during Croatian attacks.

But we got to the semis for only the third time in our history and we won a penalty shootout.

Bring on the European Championship.

Very early in this thread I did comment the 'it's coming home' mantra was for losers. I see it applies again :eek::eek:

It's only a game, not life or death. :alien:

I note Federer went out of Wimbledon, despite being favourite. All part of life ;);)

England had a good 1st half in normal and extra time , Croatia had the better of the 2nd half’s.

No midfield general for England who could hold and distribute the ball ... they need to sort that out. Kane had to come far too deep looking for the ball which nullified his striking capabilities ... he did nothing in this or the Sweden game.

Gareth Southgate is your best manager for decades....a keeper.

The team will only get better for the next 10 years ..

On balance Croatia looked more dangerous with the ball but England breakaways were all wasted (mainly by Sterling) .

Henderson is awful ...

Thankfully now it’s 4 years before we hear THAT f#&@ing song again .... if anything makes other people not support England that’s a strong contender for the title...

We are in the wrong league .Its tackle 2 on to one.And not the old fashoned 1966 one to one game .And its not just cricket on the lawn type of game .Its get the ball at all costs . We dont play the same game and are used to old football ideas . But i must say our players did very well ,and i hope they get better deal in the future.

I did not enjoy the match, apart for the first 10 minutes, and am glad it's all over now. It was a good achievement to get so far, but to go in such a way is disappointing. At least we did not have to endure penalties.
