    France and Belgium are two world class teams. I'm enjoying watching this game. They've both got a bit on us, tbf.

    To be fair France has a lot more than Belgium. They have been scarily comfortable since scoring.

    France were seriously impressive defensively tonight, Varane outstanding.

    I also have them in the work sweepstake.

    I do too. And £50 on them to win.

    Won’t be much compensation mind if we lost a final.

    Croatia are growing into the game and we're disappearing.

    Really poor second half for us.

    Yeah absolutely. Kane and Alli have been awful. Sterling has been better on the ball than either of them.

    Kane looks like he's got heavy legs. Fatigue I presume. Struggling to get into it.

    The defence look like they all speak different languages. And are playing different ****ing sports.

    Need to stay calm and try to nick one.

    Better team won on the day. Need to score more from open play to go all the way.

    Encouraging if anything. A great young team with a lot of room to grow, lost to a great team at the absolute peak of their powers.

    So proud of that team.

    They’ve over achieved so so much, but I’m sure the boo boys will be out.

    Think we just looked tired in the end and that was their ultimate downfall tonight.

    Game over when they equalised Kane should have been replaced for Welbeck in the last match what the hell happened to him since the group games ?, and we were rubbish for 60 mins, well that's that for and the world cup, they never frigging learn do they, switched off and that was that, pathetic at least we did not lose on pens again. Croatia are jammy and might win the world cup, and to think the players are stuck there until sat for the meaningless 3rd place match.

    Best team won. Well done Croatia and good luck in the final but I think France will just be too strong for them.

    We will probably never get a better chance, Croatia were a beaten team at half time so what happened, subs delayed too long?, I think so, three players never got going, maybe, but well done England, with experience this squad is going to be the basis of Gareth building a very good England team. <applause>
    Oh!! and well done Croatia, lets see you win it. <ok>
