Good play from Croatia yesterday.Manzukic to the rescue 👍
Their midfield star Luca Modric held them together when the 3 Lions where all over them in the first half. It looked like an England victory then. Unfortuanately they lost tempo and confidence, I actually thought their youth would carry them through in extra time.
A good game and best of luck to Croatia.

I think they also underestimated an opponent.It was a lot of talking about England vs France final, but they forgot that they need to get there first.
Modric went off in a post game interview a little bit, talking about that.
Also, I was watching Rio Ferdinand talking about the England vs France final, like it was done deal.
Good game Croatia...

@Uniqez Rio Ferdinand wasn’t playing, so I don’t see how his view is relevant. The media don’t speak for the players or the staff.

I didn’t hear any of players talking negatively about Croatia or see any evidence that they would be taking them lightly. In fact the manage clearly stated they would not be underestimating Croatia. And he also rubbished any notion that the result would be influenced in any way by Croatia playing extra time and pens in their previous 2 games.

The reason they lost was they simply failed to take their gilt edged chances when they were on top in the first half.

Well done Croatia.

I had some bad insomnia last night, was happy to have TdF, WC & Wimbledon.
Cycling!😲 Drugged up oddbods, with bunches of bananas for helmets, bashing the life out of their lycra clad bollocks on absurd saddles? 😲 Nah... the tennis will do me. 😁

Unfortunately, media is playing a big role in football nowadays. Players are reading and watching all of that. For me quick goal and Croatia unexpectedly adding a tempo played against England as well.
Talking about the chances, Croatia could've done it without an extra time.
