English have to admitt they acted cocky and people who bash them have to admitt that was a good run for England after so many years.
Also, I insist Croatia was the better team, not just played better.
Apart from world class players ( Modric, Perisic, Rakitic, Vrsajlko, Mandjukic are established players too vs England's only Kane and Rose who was not even in the starting lineup, the rest of the English players are still 'talents') they had a plan and were hard to defend against when the ball was on the ground.
Exactly.
‘It’s coming home’ was rubbed in every face of every footballing fan across the planet. The sheer arrogance became sheer agony and it’s absolutely delightful. A more level headed approach next time? Nah, it’ll be the same from a nation build on arrogance.
I also love that ‘it’s coming home’ was now banter and a joke that they’ve been sent packing.
You couldn’t make it up. Tails between legs and back to work.
Not sure what is worse, FIFA18 gameplay or this post.
I'd hate to be as miserable as you, mate. We England fans have had so much fun during this WC, absolutely loved it!
If you can't see that 'its coming home' after we beat Tunisia was English fans poking fun at their teams own chances, then you have spectacularly missed the point.
But maybe you've missed it on purpose because it suits your 'arrogant England' agenda.
So amusing that people think "It's coming home" wasn't a joke. They can't seem to tell we're happy just getting to the semi finals either.
True. It's almost like we can't enjoy our youngest ever WC squad reaching the Semi's for the first time in 28 years. Any show of positivity is described as arrogance.
Strange to see so many non-English people have this weird obsession with hating on our national team/fans.
Walker is not a CB
Took off henderson and replaced him with Dier (who can only pass sideways)
Took off Sterling who was literally playing on the shoulder on croatias last man consistently and replaced with rashford who did nothing but chase after the ball
Don't know what he told Kane but kane went from playing striker in 1st half to playing the rest of the game in the CM/CAM position. He dropped so deep he might aswell have played CB for the whole game
Deli Ali has had injuries prior to playing and he made him play a full 120 even when you could see he wasn't at his best.
As for Individual players
Kane is a greedy mug, had he passed it to sterling it most likely would have been 2-0
Lingard had a clear chance and scoffed it on the big stage
Sterling is so good but yet so annoying, he tries to shoot when he should pass and passes when he should shoot.
Player shoutouts
Pickford played amazing througout the whole tournament
Maguire was england stand out player in defence and I would expect a big club to come in for him
Trippier has been amazing throughout the whole tournament
Sterling consistently causing defences trouble and creating space for team mates
I'm actually annoyed Russia troubled croatia more than we did

Do you support Man City?
Sterling was/is horrendous. The only thing he did well was create space for others which is very important so I understood why Gareth Southgate persisted with him.
Agree about Kane. Very fortunate to be walking away from this tournament with the golden boot.
Agree about Dier, hope to never see him in an England shirt again.
Henderson had a great tourney apart from yesterday. Couldn't find his passing range playing the ball forward so mainly played it sideways and backwards so wasn't too upset he was subbed. He should've brought on Loftus-Cheek in his place though rather than Dier but I think Southgate was thinking about pens.
Re: Dele Alli, if the medical team say he's fit to play then he's fit to play. Alli hasn't done much in an England shirt period let alone this tournament where he was arguably playing with an injury.
Southgate worked with what he had, he's done well. I still feel he made a mistake not bringing either Shelvey or Wilshere for the midfield. It simply lacked creativity.

Benezema has been below average but Zidane stuck with him because of what he does for the team, just like sterling. His role is important in the England squad as we have seen in every single game, yesterday his decision making was poor and he had a chance to get a goal if Kane wasn't so greedy.
Agree with the midfield options though, would rather Jonjo though as he can ping em deep within his own half and he loves to pass forward unlike some of the other midfielders we have
Love how all the English fans are trying to pretend that shoving “it’s coming home” down everyone’s throats was “just banter”. Yes maybe after the first game it was but as soon as they saw their knockouts draw they got super arrogant and basically acted like getting to the final was a foregone conclusion and that was deadly serious! You can try and pretend now that you have been sent home with your tails between your legs but everyone else knows the truth.
Here is a little tip for you, if you want other teams fans to respect you and not hate you, then try acting with dignity and humility and stop deliberately trying to wind people up to antagonise them and then say “ohh it was just a bit of banter”.

Don’t get me wrong, I think England had a decent tournament but based on the opposition they faced and their road to the final, it has to be classed as another failure.
I like how people get all uppity about how England only got to the semis because we supposedly had an easy route, but don't mention that Croatia are in the final due to having an easy group (even Argentina were awful) and making hard work of beating three average teams in Denmark Russia and England in the knockout rounds.

Easy group hahahaha
Before the WC, group was called group of death, probably toughest one in whole WC so shut your mouth.
You are trying to undermine Croatia success, they looked more fresh after players 240 mins in last two games and even went to play another 120 mins.
1 shot on target.
Denmark, Russia and England average?
Denmark haven't lost in 18 games, last two years without defeat including game against France and whole qualifiers.
Russia boosted by playing on home turf, went 0-1 and Croatia bounced back.
Denmark, Russia, Island all play defensive and park the bus.
Spain had problems with Russia and couldn't break them, so you will say that Spain was terrible? Maybe they were, but that just shows how compact Russia were.
Don't forget we had woodwork from Perisic against Russia, if that one went in we wouldn't get to penalties.
Also I would like to mention both Denmark and Russia time wasting, especially Denmark with long throw-ins...each time they took 30sec - 1 minute.

Won't take anything away from croatia they deserved to win BUT:
You 100% got helped by the ref
Walker got a yellow card for holding the ball
Rebic did it TWICE & didn't get carded but only got carded for a tackle in the 2nd half. In all fairness if the ref treated Rebic the same way he treated walker Rebic should be off
Linesman were clearly told not to call offside unless its clear but yet Kane got flagged up for being offside even though he was on. Even though he scuffed the opportunity the linesman was wrong
Croatian players were constantly body checking England players and the ref just kept saying play on.

Posted on another thread. Even the players are sick of the English attitude.
"English journalists, pundits from television, they underestimated Croatia and that was a huge mistake," Real Madrid's Modric told ITV. "They should be more humble and respect more opponents.
"All these words from them we take, we were reading and we were saying, 'OK, today we will see who will be tired'."

We're not arsed, tbh.
It's your problem, not ours.
Exactly. Point proven.
What point?
Why would we be concerned that people can't see/get something that is quite clearly a joke?
Its coming home was a bit of fun, shame that England haters are now pretending it was serious so they can use it as a stick to bash us.

To be fair, English supporters have been critical of the English media in the past. What they say isn't reflective of how most of us think.
Just look what they do to Sterling. They're a joke.
Tbh, some of you lot on here would fit in nicely with our media as they love nothing but to slag the national team off either

Ref was trash and aided in croatia winning
Ref was aiding Croatia? Like in first half when there was clear foul on Rebić but ref didn't call it and England in counter attack made goal-threat situation when Lingaard missed whole target?
You mean aiding like that?
Like when Perisic also in 1st half shot deflected of Walker heel and he didn't call corner?
Also, when there was foul on Croatian midfielder in middle of pitch but ball bounced of his foot and ref called corner for England even tho England player stepped clearly on toe of Croatian player?
Not to mention prior to Croatia goal that every England player dropped on ground on every single contact.
There were couple of decisions in favour of Croatia in extra time, but telling that ref pushed us.

You are delusional.

Prior to the croatian goal the croatian players were actually coming in with stupid challenges. Kane is on the wing and he got past one player and another croation player came and bodychecked it and the ref said play on
If sterling was actually a scum he could have scammed the ref for a Pen after one of the players caught his ankle rather than the ball

In all honesty if people hate because of fans having fun while we have done better than we expected before the tournament im glad were hated. If fans werent being positive youd probably have a go saying no fans ever beleived in the team. You wanted to hate the side and jumped at a small reason to.
