[Football] Match day thread England vs Croatia

[Icy Gull]

Getting mugged on 90+1 would be what we probably deserve tbh

Feck off, I’ve had enough of that from the Albion thanks

Not seen anything to suggest we can win the Euros.

We'll need 5 or 6 of our better players to perform better to have any hope of the semis imho. And Kane to get fit.

On the whole, this has been a shit game of football.
We looked dodgy in defence, not great going forward and absolutely absent up front.
Hopefully it's just first game nerves but there's certainly no hope of us going too far in the competition based on today.

Credit to waistcoat man on that performance, we never looked threatened

Pretty dull game though

A win is a win. Not great but Croatia poor. Phillips excellent - far too good to stay at Dirty.

Untroubled. Good start to a tournament on a swealtering hot day. Good chances created. Decent stuff.

What they say about Italy before they go on and win a tournament

The final whistle woke me up with a start!

Big win that, and it shouldn’t be taken for granted. Croatia are no mugs, the World Cup finalists and set up to make life hard for England.

Takes a lot of pressure off the remaining two group games.

Great result there. Really tough game to start, was a bit of a dull game but a deserved win for me. Phillips was different class, fair play to the lad.

What’s your point? Kane still scores a load of PL goals Maupay sadly does not.

Kane missed a sitter. Maupay has not played in the top flight for very long, a man of Kanes pedigree should have taken that.
Maupay would have had a kicking from our boo boys for missing the same opportunity. Although I think we need anotherr striker to take the pressure off him, I believe we will see Maupays best season this year.

 

[Dick Head]

Yay!

 

[Swansman]

Was a bit zzz but decent performance from England.

3 points on the board and we have Grealish and White to come in and strengthen the team.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Comparing Maupay and Kane

Priceless.

Back on Planet Earth that was exactly what we needed. Job done, no injuries. Safety first from Southgate but it's paid off.

Nice response from Sterling in the post match interview to the question...'have you justified your selection?'.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

What an excellent result!

I was dubious about a few of those selections but fair play Southgate and the team nailed it. Including Mings who had a very solid game. Lovely stuff.

It's coming home!!!
