FIFA World Cup 2018

[Lineker]

Fuck.

[Baddar]

Knew they'd say it was a high boot. Was it fuck. 

[DavidMarrio]

Game of two halfs. Croatia have been the much better team so far

[FLiam]

Kyle Walker isn’t a centre back. 

It’s still worrying that we aren’t overly effective at creating good chances from open play.

Walker hasn't been bad generally today. Still 20 minutes left in this.

[Owen]

Damn, that was close. Come on, Croatia!!!

[entiel]

Don't mess it up now, England 😭

[Chris2K]

Only one team winning this now, England's heads have gone to mush.

He has made a couple of dodgey decisions in terms of passing back to Pickford. On the whole, I agree he hasn’t been bad, but I always feel he’s the one to slip up defensively. He’s just not a centre-back at all.

Just as I say that, that’s an outstanding header from Walker.

[Lineker]

Rashford on for Sterling. 

[Baddar]

Called England to win on pens all day. About 20mins til extra time!

[FLiam]

Croatia look absolutely pumped. Whereas out defence suddenly looks very nervy.

Gaps appearing everywhere.

This is fucking horrible.

Na, Croatia on pens! They're penalty veterans at this point!

Feel like that's the right change. 

Sterling has threatened with his pace but his final ball or shot has been piss poor. No point beating the defenders if you're not gonna do anything with it. 

[Lineker]

Overplaying it in the forward areas. Need to take the shots when around their box, test the goalkeeper.

[FLiam]

Rashford absolutely making a difference at the moment.

This game is still crying out for Danny Welbeck though.

[Chris2K]

Someone tell them this isn't FIFA, you can't just pass it around knowing it will go vaguely where you want and be controlled without any problems.

[FLiam]

We have a stupid obsession with casual passing around the defence. It’s pure stupidity. Sometimes it’s ok to just Peter Kay it. 

[Bobfoc]

Croatia will kick themselves if they don't take this opportunity. A better one may never come along.

I've been shouting at the TV moaning about this. There is absolutely nothing wrong with smacking it up the field or out of play to get some form of shape back or slow the play a bit.
