These missed chances in the first half are giving me flashbacks to the World Cup semi-final

Did Rashford teach Kane how to finish? England looking like Man City so far.

Kane should have scored.

Great ball by Delph. He's got a lot more in locker than I used to think.

Kane goalless in last seven games. Comedy in his eighth game. All good though.

How is it that all the English United players all play better for England whereas the non-United players all play better for their respective clubs?
The answer to that would start a civil war in this thread. Lets not.

If we don't make use of these chances we'll regret it. Croatia will get one chance and that will be that.

Testament to Southgate. Got a lot of these players playing with confidence. They have a freedom to express themselves, and their duty is to attack, rather than thinking about the opposition full back.

Yeah Southgate's been really good. I'm more and more hesitant to have a go at our attackers when I see how different they look with their national teams.

I was not impressed with the Southgate appointment, but he's certainly proving me wrong. He knows what he wants from his team and he's getting it.

Come on England. Please beat this arrogant Croatia team, thinking they are the shit just because they made it to a World Cup Final when in all honesty, they were literally the worst World Cup runner-up with such an easy draw. Especially after what Dejan Lovren did to Sergio Ramos, it would be poetic justice as well.

Delph's range of passing has been very impressive. I'd like to see Southgate make him first choice as the anchoring midfielder.

Delph has been very good
He's a better player than people give him credit for. Good long and short range passing and his athleticism also fits into England's style. Should contribute more goals though and his tackling can be agricultural at times but worth his squad place if he can stay fit which has been a problem in recent years.
