Kip Smithers Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 If you’re gonna blast Lukaku, then blast Kane just as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kempus Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Great run from England. The better team won today. Thankfully I don't have to watch International football for another 2 years. Come on you Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankee0724 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Real talk though someone needs to a huge study on Modric and figure out how he has this much energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even those options are terrible. Is there any midfield talent coming up? I for the life of me still can't understand why Milner wasn't called up. He definitely could have done a job in the midfield. As far as midfield talent coming up I'd say Lewis Cook is probably the most intriguing, or maybe Josh Onomah.(and I still wouldn't sleep on RLC) But England does seem to have a lot of young wide talent coming up, so I guess that's encouraging for them.

Kip Smithers Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Modric was great today. Perisic was frustrating but he was great at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalvadorsDeli Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 That Kane chance is gonna go down in history. England were absolutely all over them to start and I don't see a way back for Croatia if they go down 2-0 there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I mentioned earlier in the thread, but can you imagine if it was Sterling who missed that? England would probably ban him from returning. He definitely should've shot given the situation, but it was ironic that Sterling was wide open for a tap in if he played a square ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But people are grossly overstating joe England were playing to that point. They got in some great positions in the final third a couple times in the first half but it was at best a balanced game. England could not push the ball into the final third pretty much the whole game. They scored early and allowed Croatia to have the ball throughout. Their best outlet was a hoof upfield by Pickford.

TedLavie Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 England lacked experience and talent imho. They worked superbly as a team and their set pieces were mastery. But in the end, it's hard to reach the WC final with only 2-3 legitimately very good/great players. @Shady Slim you're my man, but we're winning this. Great job on reaching the final, but this is the end for you guys :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
