2018 WORLD CUP FINAL - FRANCE v CROATIA

[1964white]

They were poor against Russia and should have been out of this at half time.

They are a decent team mate, apart from the Russian game they have fared well in this WC, they are all over us now like a rash

[The Subhuman]

We're playing like Leeds last season

That was the epitome of a game of two halves, as the old saying goes

I thought they were excellent against Argentina but no better thsn us in any other game, they have been very good this second half but a lot of it was our own doing

[HarryofOz]

The Croatians were always likely to take the initiative in the second half - they had to being a goal done, but England also seemed to stop playing for some reason.

Yep playing well for one half, you can't afford to play well for short periods of a game certainly not at this level

Lost their momentum Harry

True, but they've lifted again for the start of extra time

[The Subhuman]

Finally someone on the post to clear, teams are learning how to defend our set peices

[The Subhuman]

That was out.

[1964white]

What a save

[HarryofOz]

England better overall in the first half of extra time - Stones unlucky, but Croatia nearly snatch the lead at the death.

[1964white]

Our keeper has got us out of a pickle a few times

Picked em out

What a difference he makes compared to Joe Hart.

[1964white]

Oh no

[HarryofOz]

Damn it

[The Subhuman]

Deserved winner, we've been second best since midway through the first

[The Subhuman]

Game over, nowhere good enough for me

[HarryofOz]

Sorry people. Not much consolation at the moment but England had a very good tournament.
