That was stressful. Wasted chances, Constantly passing it back to the keeper and dithering. We nearly conceded that way, and I think that is how we will concede. Did not enjoy the possession Croatia mounted from about the 15th Minute to half time. I think we look a bit dodgy that first half. Fantastic Trippier goal, should have been 2 up. Kane wasted such a great chance, Sterling has continued with his form of promise with no results. Really hope we stop sodding about at the back, not doing my heart any good. They will punish us if we keep that up.
Although Croatia are supposed to be a bit tired, they have some pace and are a threat for sure. But more dogged defending and it will be job done
Confession time: In a rowdy cinema for the football, everyone ready to belt out the anthem pre-match. One line in, I realise I'm getting funny looks. I'd started with "Kick it off...."
Scared the sh*t out of my cat when we scored. He was asleep against my leg. He's not been near me since.
The HT whistle seemed to take forever, This half is going so slow too. How the hell did that defender hook/clear the ball off Harrys head!? What a defensive move.
When Kane missed that chance, I said to my gf, that is going to be the "Sol Campbell fine goal that got ruled out, the Gazza whisker away. I Knew this would happen.
We've played well enough, but the free-kick is still the only shot on target we've had the whole match. Croatia have now had 3 and their tails are up.
