Christ. Got the feel of an Eriksson game now. Start on the front foot, score with a set piece, then drop deep and hope our luck holds. We’ve all seen how these end.

 

[Bootador]

All Kane's fault for shooting from a 1 degree angle 

[georginho_juventusygr]

Bull****.

[Redshift]

I think we have been pissing around with the ball too much. Need to start creating chances!

[Weezer]

My bad.

We'll still win, it's in the script! Just needed a bit of drama.

[Carmi88]

eep

[dking]

Not been doing nearly enough to close down crosses for a while now.

[Dave Vessey]

Literally before that went in I was screaming at Alli to close the cross.  Happened for the earlier chance too.

[artest]

yasssss

[profii]

High boot but never mind 

[Paul Bacon]

Something about Southgate's HT teamtalks means we always play poorer in 2nd half

[Marc Albrighton]

Yea you always feel like when you dont take your chances and capitalise it will cost you and they've been much better than us so far this half.

[akura]

Croatia showing england how to play football here in the second half. 

[Baptista_8]

We've been poor in possession this 2nd half and should have been out of sight. Relax though we can still win this.

[Djstu23]

[Welshace]

When was Englandslast shot on goal?

[GunmaN1905]

England bottling it.

Reluctance to make any substitutions before 75min doesn't help either

[Haguey]

FFS ENGLAND WAKE UP

[Nordan]

About 30 seconds before when Kane decided to shoot from the byeline on the volley.

[Orzelek]

So close from Perisic /0\

It was high foot!

[CFuller]

We are riding our luck now.

[Darius1998]

Perisic turning it on.

[Rio_V]

England must make a change. They are at 6/7s

[Djstu23]

The post! WAKE UP

[Bootador]

Southgate hasn't got the bottle to make the right change.

(that would be Rashford for Kane imo, and maybe even Dier for Alli)

[GunmaN1905]

Idk what's Southgate doing, England looks completely deflated right now.

[georginho_juventusygr]

Stop with bull**** defending. 

[mark1985]

I might go and make a cup of tea. I don't drink tea but it's playing with my nerves so much  I can't watch much more of this.

[EnterUsernameHere]

Alli is a clown.

[Hodgy]

I'm nervous, c'mon England, I'm welling up here ffs, felt so comfortable too, I hate football

 

[Redshift]

Rashford! C'mon!

[grff]

Crumbling

[Haguey]

Sterling off is the wrong choice

[Heartwork]

Rashford! C'mon!

We needed him on.

[Rio_V]

Come on Marcus. Light it up. 

[ChewyFun]

Not having a midfield is starting to count against us I fear

[Bootador]

Yeah, Sterling off has worked wonders every game so far...

[Marc Albrighton]

Yea this is the worst 10-15 minutes we've had this tournament

[georginho_juventusygr]

Come on, Rashford. 

[dking]

We're fast asleep.

[Dave Vessey]

It’s great that Southgate seems calm and collected, but right now he needs to be going batshit to wake his players up.

[GunmaN1905]

Am I wrong to say that England needs another midfielder because Henderson looks completely cut off and left to his own devices?

[sammayel666]

Young's looking tired. Not closing anyone down anymore

[Hodgy]

I felt the same, at least it isn't Vardy on.

[Welshace]

Ridiculous...

 

Completely different team this half... shambles
