Great play by Phillips. Sterling making every attempt to mess it up by again taking an extra second and then hitting pretty much at the keeper.

This is a typical Kane performance against tough opposition for me. Before 4 goals against Sheffield United in the next game or something.

Not sure if it's a testament to Phillips or a blight on the rest of the team that he has been England's best player today. Bit of both?

Have to admit, this is the first time I've heard of Phillips, and out of nowhere he is the best player on the pitch,

Philipps has been class going against a very good Croatian midfield. The composure to pick that pass on the move is quality.

Raheems movement is exceptional. Phillips has shown a lot of ability putting himself about like this.

Knew Kane wouldn't score that when the ball was coming in. He's been awful, imo. He's done a lot of jogging around in ineffective areas to make it look like he's working for the team, but in reality, he's been nowhere near useful.
