This.  I’d sacrifice him for someone deeper alongside Henderson.

[outlander]

Croatia need a win in 90. They would definitely lose if it's their third 120 mins match in a row.

[Heartwork]

Hendo should've shot first time.

[Haguey]

Loftus Cheek for Alli

[Scott1892]

Delph on for Alli, need to be closing down that full back more.

Rose for Young

RLC for Dele. Or Delph.

Tbh, England looks way more tired and Croatia has Badelj and Kovačić on the bench.

 

Kane has been completely anoynmous this whole tournament except for set pieces.

[Coulthard's Jaw]

Game calming down again, Croatia have had their surge. Hold our nerves.

[sammayel666]

Kane constantly pulling wide means there's noone in the box. Lingard and Rashford haven't had anyone to aim either of those balls at

[Welshace]

RLC on for Alli for sure

[Nordan]

Chaos

[EnterUsernameHere]

England collapse

[Haguey]

Walker is ****ing brainless

[Heartwork]

wtf was that

[CFuller]

Thank goodness Pickford was awake.

Young's looking tired. Not closing anyone down anymore

Young has run like a machine all tournament. Was surprised he wasnt rested in the QF. Delph needs to come on for Alli 

[Bootador]

Proper Spursing  this aren't we 

[Marc Albrighton]

I get were trying to pass it and stay calm and stuff but sometimes you actually do need to just boot the ****ing thing! Jesus.

[georginho_juventusygr]

Walker. 

[artest]

this is the england we know

I wonder what "Lads, it's England" is in Croatian.

Haters would say first time a proper team presses you, you collapse.

[Rio_V]

Dier needs to get into the game. England are overrun in the midfield. 

[Marc Albrighton]

We need a midfield sub here, hes cautious because of ET looming but it doesn't look like it'll get that far atm.

[Darren Moores Mum]

What the **** is going on

[GunmaN1905]

Perišić bottling it twice already.

[Nordan]

aiaiaiai

dječaka, u Engleskoj

[dking]

Whats Southgate waiting for?

[deltablue]

Could easily have been 'Thank you and goodnight' by now.

[grff]

Only one winner at this point

Not a clue. Even if it goes to ET we have a 4th sub we can use.

[Rio_V]

Perisic is everywhere. 

[dking]

Deers and headlights.

[Nordan]

Croatia's subs must still be wasted.

[artest]

alli needs to be off quick

[georginho_juventusygr]

England are tired. Too many domestic competitions.

For once, I look like I have a clue about football.

Walker being a liability and Croatian front three having monstrous physical capabilities.

iirc, Rakitić is playing his 70th game this season.

[daylight]

Kept reading about how Croatia will be more tired and how they are older, they seem to have more energy than England at this point.

[Bootador]

Southgate should rip open his waistcoast (and shirt, what the hell) and roar. INSPIRE THEM!!!

Experience.

[Rio_V]

Croatian players now also looking exhausted.

Why do England look so gassed?

We're just not very good, we had a great start and nerves probably got to Croatia but at half time they realised what an opportunity this is and turned up whilst England have hit their ceiling tbh.

I called a 1-1 draw and England to win 2-1 aet and still think we'll sneak it though.

Indeed.

cheers Lovren

[Paul Bacon]

Did the same against Columbia. Conceded and looked terrible during ET. Seems if they concede they lose all hope

[Dave Vessey]

Only one sub made?  Okay then.
