The dream is over.

Good effort from the players. Never a candidate, but still made more than a decent run.

It is what it is. The best team went through.

Not enough from open play.

But credit to them, we didn’t think they could take us this far. Onwards.

My last post of the day says: "Wtf just happened ? :drool:"

Also, England reached the semis, playing for third place. It's a proud moment, anyone dissing that is an idiot.

What absolute machines. Croatia deserve every credit. Dominated the game since the equalizer and looked the fresh side while England became crap since then. Croatia were the ones who were actually trying to win, and with playing another 120 minutes you can't do anything except praising them.

It's still a good tournament for England anyway despite the depressing result. They just clearly don't deserve the final.

Because so many here come from outside England. Is that so hard for you to grasp that?
Actually, yes. I do find it hard to grasp why people who dislike England choose to support an English team.

Poor from England, just didn’t come together. Fingers crossed the French smash Croatia in the final.

Well deserved win for Croatia. England didnt create enough, couldn't put things on target. Not getting goals from open play had probably not helped England.

Hope Lukaku nets a hattrick in the bronze-match, can't let Kane get the golden boot this way.

Gutted but proud.

Poor defending cost us tonight.

Didn't get nearly enough from Alli, Sterling or Lingard throughout the tournament.

Congratulations to Croatia, you have been very resilient. And congrats to England too, it's difficult to lose in Semi final but you have a young team and they did way better than we all expected.

Proud of the boys. Beaten by the better team in the end. Fine margins in it, but that's football.

Onwards and upwards.

YES.

Well played Croatia. Now i don't have to care about this WC anymore. :)


England fans can be proud of their team though. But set pieces only is not enough.
