Only one sub made?  Okay then.

Tbh, both coaches are inexperienced and scared they will bottle the sub.

[Nordan]

Finally another set piece.

[Bootador]

Would love to know how many shots we've had while Sterling hasn't been on the pitch in the whole tournament.

[artest]

rashford winner

[daylight]

Croatian hotties!   

[Bootador]

Oh my, so bad.

[dking]

Kanes been *****!

[Redshift]

Extra tiiiiiiiime!

[Orzelek]

And we've got extra time!

[CFuller]

Extra-time. I still make Croatia favourites, to be honest.

France must be loving this right now.

[Paul Bacon]

Cant win on pens twice surely?

[Heartwork]

Extra Time it is. Come on Southgate you have to go for it now. Rose, Loftus-Cheek and Delph on.

[dking]

And Rashford is so much better than Sterling.

[grff]

Hope I'm wrong but I can't see us winning this, especially as Gareth has no clue about making subs at the right time.

[Pukey]

That was horrible  

[Rio_V]

How Croatia are still lively is a mystery.

Both teams have shown a lot of weaknesses and barring some crazy circuimstances France should easily win.

[daylight]

Someone really has to have a word!

When England needed a push from the crowd the crowd starts singing "God save the Queen", ffs the sooner you guys ditch that the better, such a terribly boring song.

Borrowed some of those Russian roids.

Front 3, Vrsaljko and Brozović are well known to have extreme levels of endurance.

Modrić and Rakitić are surprising, though.

[Coulthard's Jaw]

Make at least 2 subs, get some energy back in the team.

Thrice

[Darren Moores Mum]

We look finished

[Marc Albrighton]

How can it possibly be so clear to millions that changes are needed but not the manager? We were dead from atleast the 70th minute

[av3ry]

This is Euro 96 and Italia 90 all over again isnt it.

Instead of losing to the Krauts on penalties, we lose to the Croats on penalties.

[Rio_V]

Southgate should get Dier in and sort out midfield.

Momentum. They know they have us on the backfoot. Are they lively or are we just so dejected after conceding?

[Hodgy]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuccckkkk 

Why do we have to suffer as England fans, we invented football so it's our sport ffs, let us win!!!

It's not really Rashford's fault, he can't play like Sterling (yet) just doesn't have the football intelligence. It's not a sub that should happen, Rashford should be coming on for Kane or as part of 4-3-3 formation switch.

[Wigmore]

I feel physically sick. This is just awful to watch.

Run. That. Bath.

[martinji]

I love Southgate but he has been bafflingly reticent with subs the whole tournament

[Anti Spiral]

[Bootador]

Southgate

Tone: Calm

Encourage.

[Heartwork]

Rose coming on for Young, like should have happened THIRTY MINUTES AGO

[Constantine]

Another Spurs player... Bottling ensured.  

[deltablue]

Now that's a sub that arguably should have been made ages ago.

[Rio_V]

Get the ball in to Kane’s feet. Just try.

I'm not sure I can face the exagerrated fall to the ground to win a free kick.

[Heartwork]

Croatian players starting to go down with cramp

Sterling and football intelligence do not belong in the same sentence.

[Coulthard's Jaw]

Kane looks done. Only staying on for the shootout I guess.

[Marc Albrighton]

Nobody is going to say anything about that absolutely blatant corner?

[Constantine]

Gunman's favorite incoming

time wasting to get England to pens i reckon.

Better get ready!

I'm not having this argument with a Liverpool fan, but if he can't finish but scores 20 goals in a season what would you call that?

[Orzelek]

And that's Croatia's first substitution
