For me, England this tournament was the best ive seen. We may have had the easiest route, but this squad played with honour and as a unit, and with true pride in the badge which I havent seen in my lifetime and im very proud of our team for that. Well done lads.

I'm 30 so don't remember 1990 but agree with this.
Croatia had more shots, 22-11 More shots on goal 7-1
England's only shot on goal happened in the 5th minute. Ouch.
What about Kane's shot just before he hit the post? keeper saved it so surely it was a shot on goal?
7-2 makes me feel much better...
Was offside anyway wasn't it?
nope - onside, flag went up when the ball span out of play.
Why wasn't a corner given then?
Cos the ref wasn't nearly as good as people make out.
Yeah I thought he was poor and lost control of the match for stretches. I was worried he'd be used as an excuse to hide behind (and he still might be), which I think would be a mistake. How Lovren didn't get a booking in the opening 15 minutes or so is beyond me.
Don’t think anything could have been done differently and players and staff gave their all . Just came up short on quality in second half and didn’t take chances when on top . As a throw away thought I wonder whether we could have ditched one of the goal keeping positions or maybe Cahill or Jones to squeeze intonthe squad the best playmaker that exists in the English game : Shelvey . That would have been a real wild card decision on squad selection . He would not have started any match but might have been a go to option / Plan B . The game was crying out for a guy to make a defence splitting pass in that second half especially and if not then in extra time at least . Easy to be wise after the event but the only thing that Southgate might be asked about .
I'm proud of our team. Shame we didn't get to the final, but no complaints. Looking forward to Euro 2020 now, as I think we're starting from a positive basis.

Irrelevant when we get a normal draw and have to play Germany or someone in the last 16
Just be proud for now, that starting eleven played heir hearts out a handful of them obviously carrying injuries and did all any of us can expect the national team to do, leave it all put there.
we've got another game to look forward to which is something and all of those players can go again

That hat trick Theo Walcott scored in qualifying against Croatia?

Kyle Walker taking one in the bollocks and springing up to head clear in the first half epitomised this.
Stones is taking a lot of online criticism from neutrals for their second goal.
Every goal stems from an error of some sort. Trippiers came from someone giving a foul away for example. If a team concedes a goal it’s a collective failing.
After all, the only team we beat in normal time in that tournament was Egypt.
Me I reacted quite badly was pissed off for days and then went to as many qualifiers as I could for 94 only to get into fights , get nicked , meet some great people meet some shite people
Overall they gave us a great ride, but just came up short against a stronger, more experienced side. Good bunch of players, well led by Southgate. Onwards and upwards!
