Anyone notice the easy ball Kane could have played to Sterling when he missed his chance for two nil.
Greedy bastard

Sterling would not have scored with Katie Price never mind an open goal squared to him by Kane.
France would have beaten us in the final but I would have taken that than have lost in the semi against Croatia where we should have had them beat in the first half.
England looked shattered and Croatia were stronger as the game went on. How does that work out?
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Kane looked ill when stood in the tunnel before kick off, sure as I can be something has been up with him this past week, no excuses though we should have killed that off and broke their hearts in the first 45 mins.
What I do like is that we have won at under 17s then at under 21s and now a semi final.
That's how a "Team" and a winning mentality is built so huge positives there.
On the other hand you could be more brutal and look at it as we only played 2 decent teams and lost to both.
I'm nowhere near as gutted as I expected because they played like Lions and gave 100%.
Very young squad with massive potential.
Yes, Master I watched it all until 5 30am. I made enough noise to show others what it is like. Didnt wake up until 4pm. May well have died in my sleep or something. This isnt me posting.
Not knowing much about your players beforehand, I couldn't help noticing two obvious facts. One, Sterling is faster than I thought he was. More than once he ran by the Croatian defender like he was standing still. Pity he never converted on a chance to put England out of reach. Two, Kane is slower than I thought. He also looked a bit old and tired half the time. Don't get me wrong.... he may be a fabulous striker.... but again more than once he was outrun to the ball by the Croatian defender and appeared to suffer from lack of speed.
Having said all this, and saddened that it won't be a Chunnel Final....... I'm switching gears and going with Croatia in the final. Hell..... it's been a Cinderella story thus far. Why have it end against France?
The fact that Kolinda is doable has nothing to do with it at all.
I am disappointed we went out against Croatia after the first half that we had. Players tired badly in the 2nd half and probably lacked experience to pace themselves better. Quality midfielder who could do a "modric" was missing. England can build from this for Euros.
Want France to win the final, they have been the best.
Belgium keeper ad Hazzard called France anti football but that is just sour grapes. Belgium did the same in the second half against Brazil.

I think Nacho and Coutinho should've been 1 and 2 respectively on that list.
Been reflecting on it all a lot. Still gutted about being out to Croatia but the one huge huge plus fo is they’ve won the nation back, and in a way that’s the most important. We’d fallen out of love with them the last ten years and the players are to blame for that - ‘we didn’t have team spirit because we were rivals’ excuse. They’ve all chosen to admit this in the past few months. No wonder you lost the nation primal Dona tossers.
There’s not one such figure amongst the current group and we love that.
Some interesting stats below that shows how actually weak we were in some areas - very weak in fact. We need a Modric type figure in midfield.....

One of the options in the poll on the overall performance is - encouraging but let’s not get carried away. Can’t say fairer than that.
Can’t believe we have that stupid fucking game tomorrow night.
