I'm the only one in my friends & work colleague betting game who has England to win. The others have a draw or Croatia to win.

Come on England, don't disappoint me today.

That Croatia team is not a bad one, at least on paper.

I still don’t see them beating England.

Personally I'd have started Trippier over Walker feels a bit of a walking error at times with his reading of the game.

Croats will certainly target left side as Mings has it all to prove on this stage and warm up matches weren't encouraging. He's not even the best CB we have (that's Konsa who will surely get a call up for the world cup qualifiers).

Southgate is very average. You guys will have a chance to win something when you hire a proper manager who will use all the talent you get. For now your team is just good on paper, well, not for this game obviously.

Playing Sterling no matter what is criminal. It’s not as he doesn’t have options…Grealish, Sancho, Rashford…
Random shout, but imagine Wenger with that squad, without having to dip into the transfer market.

Why are they booing the Croatia anthem?
They literally boo every teams national anthem.

If you hadn't noticed already, the average England follower is very classy.

It's a good thing the games are at Wembley too, they'd have rioted if it was abroad. May still do tbf.

Literally as soon as I ever get a bit of excitement about England, the fans do something that remind me why I dislike them.
