Said England would struggle against the first decent team they played. Tunisia & Panama were piss-easy games, they scraped through on pens against Columbia, and Sweden were pedestrian. They never would've even got to the semis if not for such an easy run.
You have a valid point amo but there is no need to celebrate it like some wronged embittered lover.
Impressions
1. Stupid public have been whipped up by the press and media for days to believe that we'd already won through to the final. I hated all that shyte. Roy Keane had it right.
2. Might sound daft but I commented to the room that we had scored too early. Doing that in an important match nearly always leads to a stilted performance.
3.2. Croatia (Pop just 4.5 million) were the best team on the night and pinned us back by overcoming our 3 at the back by simply using the width of the pitch. Southgate has done well but his tactical naivety showed tonight by not having a plan B. My solution would have been to take off the anonymous and ineffective Alle during the second half and replace him with Rose and pushing Young into the left side of midfield.
4. Too many of our players simply didn't turn up. Kane for one and he was closely followed by Alli and Lingard. Trippier and Henderson too were way below par. Again much credit to the opposition Manager.
5. Deleting posts simply because they have an alternative view to your own is is bang out of order and from your previous stance out of character too.
