Kane could be the difference tonight, Croatia has a great midfield and solid defense and goalkeeper but upfront they're seriously lacking. Should be a close one though, both teams have only scored 3 goals in their last couple of matches and a few not from open play.
Im expecting pens again 😀
Meat pies, sausage rolls c'mon England score a goal!!!
Originally posted by @neilariniDisaster struck for me. There have been almighty storms and wind and my TV stopped working during the tennis game so I went over to my uncle's house for the football. Unfortunately, he has been nursing an unknown cat and he hugged me with its hair all over his clothes. I've had to run home and shower and change. I'm severely allergic to cats and I'm now home, quite swollen and itchy and without a TV. The universe does not want me to watch this game.

Originally posted by @neilariniThey did indeed. I'm glad they have come this far - they've also made it okay to be proud to be English again. Even better, that pride is not based on a feeling of imperial superiority in a bygone era but one of a vibrant, renewed nation. GG Croatia.
Spoke too soon. 52 years of hurt. Congratulations to Croatia who deserve to go through. Props to Perisic, the best player on the pitch by a mile.
Proud of the England boys. They did us proud.
I have to admit England did well now have the third place play off a game most players don't want after being knocked out.
On a unrelated topic it's good to see councils in England putting on extra bin lorry for tomorrow.
A spokesman said " we are expecting a huge amount of extra trash. Mainly it's coming home banners and losing betting slips"
Trying to find something on tele to cheer me up after that cosmic come down. 'Tunes for tyrants' Isn't quite doing it. Hoping the mighty reds can bring some football joy back to my life next month but I'm not banking on it. Who is this Fred guy we've signed and where is he from. Sounds like a good old fashioned northern name. :0)

Wanted to lose, sweeten the pill if we lost
Best team, just, won. Thought Loveran was lucky to stay on.
Good luck to Croatia in the final

Apart from the fact we actually performed well, with a manager who was worth his salt.
You had Archie G's goal!!
To be fair, was a thing of beauty
