    I think either final will be boring in terms of spectacle to be honest. It'll just be more exciting if it's England instead of Croatia.

    ‘JLingz’ looks knackered and can’t be taking a Pen, surely? Get him off.

    Not even two minutes. Is that what it's always like to be an England supporter?

    That's fucking pathetic from Stones. Reacted a good second slower than Mandzukic, and even after he'd reacted he was still looking back at the passer as though he'd somehow play a second pass.

    This is so dispiriting to watch because it's all naivety and mental weakness costing us. Croatia's leaders have dragged them through this.

    Nope. Sorry. You’re talking out of your ass, as you always do when it comes to football. England’s lack of midfield has cost them.

    I don't buy the leadership thing. I just don't think England have created much outside of set pieces.

    Seems reasonable. Mandzukic basically spent all his time after the goal feigning injuries.

    I'm surprised that more nations haven't tried to rile Alli up.

    He clearly wanted to punch Rakitic there.

    If it was to go to penalties now, how would they deal with Trippier being unable to take a kick? Would Croatia only have to nominate ten takers?

    This team + Lampard, Gerrard, Terry, and Rooney would have won 15-0.

    We just completely ran out of gas there, not helped by superb Croatian game management and a pisspoor referee.

    Oh well.

    Stones' contribution to that extra time goal should see him banished from English football forever. So deeply crap that it amounts to gross incompetence.

    Weird this. I'm sure we would have all taken a semi-final a few weeks ago, but that was there for the taking and we blew it, and we won't have this opportunity any time soon.

    What I think I'm driving at is the need for smaller pitches at youth level, and for coaches to stop rejecting players for being too small.

    Is Kane the worst golden boot winner ever? Woeful tonight and useless for most of the knockout stage. Did he break out of a jog tonight?

    Southgate made some poor changes. RLC or Delph should have replaced Lingard or Alli probably.

    Marcus Rashford is one of those players who gets better the more time he spends on the bench. Never even looked dangerous, which Sterling at least managed to do.

    I've no idea who Dele and Lingard stayed om the field so long. Crap defensively, offered nothing going forward.

    What we need is a match-fixing or bribery scandal in a World Cup year. That's the real reason Zagreb's fellas are in the final. Fate favours criminals.

    Can't fault the side, got to a semi final which I never thought I'd see in my lifetime and undone by a lack of concentration in injury time. Fair fucks to the lot of 'em.

    Absolutely gutted, but the better team won and the last 60 minutes demonstrated how good we actually were.

    Still, good effort and the first good world cup from us for years.
