This is something I'll never understand.

How is it hard to support your national team? Unless you're not English but then your post would make no sense anyway.

Yes, but England are hard to support. Too much arrogance, too much negativity, too little passion. Other teams put England to shame constantly, tournament after tournament.

Smaller national teams throw their all in, despite not having the best players. Can you say England did so today? No, we sat back and played the game as slow as possible.

End of an era for them really. All their best players are in their 30's and will probably be their last tournament. Rakitic already retired, Modric 35, Perisic 32, Vida 32.

As a neutral (as in, not from England nor Croatia) this has been fecking dire, and I'm faulting England for it. So boring and uninspired. With the wealth of attacking options they have, it's shameful to come out and play like this.

shameful for coming out and winning their first game of the tournament. Something that we’ve never done before.

will take shameful every match! :lol:

We’ll take it. Ideally Grealish and Rashford start the next match (and Shaw at LB), but heyho.

Foden looks like the low budget version of a villain in a horror movie.

Just feck off Southgate seriously, since his first sub we just had none of the ball at all.

I still don't really get it. Granted I'm not English but I'll always support my national team no matter how shit they are.

Did they announce a man of the match?

I thought it should've been Kalvin Phillips until they just showed a close up of his haircut.

We are old, spent and unispiring team....

Which is understandable, we played a World cup final two years ago.

Modrić is still the best player in the team by a mile, which is a statement by itself.

Brozović was utter wank today.
Perišić is old and spent.
Our back 4 is second league quality.

You should have beaten us much easier then this.
We might get out of the group, but i don't have my hopes high.

Truth be told, you don't look that good either.

Happy with the win. Performance wasn’t great. Croatia weren’t very good either.
