I'm still disgusted that England won yesterday. How dare they do that.
Me too. DIsgusting. Southgate hasn't got a clue. How dare he play the match winning forward, or the 2 best defensive midfielders in the premier league in central midfield. Disgraceful.
(Trippier at left back was confusing though)
The way the England (I hesitate to use the word) team played after the first 20 minutes yesterday, I know of a few Sunday league pub teams that would have got results against them.
Prediction is they'll struggle to get out of the group stage and then go out in the first knockout game.
So you know a few Sunday League pub teams that are far better than Croatia who are ranked 14th in the world?
Amazing.
A few that would have over-run that team that "performed" yesterday.
And yes Croatia were just as bad.
There have been some very good, one might even say great, performances in the tournament so far. I'm specifically thinking of the Italian and Belgian games there.
Italy in all honesty were vastly superior against a team as good as Croatia.
I don't understand how dismissive people arfe being about Croatia.
They may be a few years older and wiser, but essentially it's still the same team that reached the World Cup Semi final at our expense 3 years ago.
They have some great players, but we put them on the back foot from the 1st minute and they never really got into the game. Surely we deserve some credit for that rather than just saying "Oh Croatia are useless".
But we beat them. They offered nothing going forward coz they were intent on frustrating us and getting a point, but we found a way through and beat them.
Think we deserve credit, not moaning. We're not going to blow everyone away 6-0
It was a relatively conservative team picked by GS, but it did the job.
