FIFA World Cup 2018

Perisic looks absolutely shattered. Not convinced he’d make the full 30 minutes of extra-time.

If we get any.

[Owen]

The crowd is making me despise September, which makes me sad. It's a great song  

[Chris2K]

This is a counter-attacking team who are too tired to counter-attack.

[FLiam]

Jesse Lindgard needs to come off at this point, for who though I’m not sure.

Do we play it safe and put Dier on? Or bring on a bit of creativity in Loftus-Cheek? 

I’d go with the latter. Although Lindgard has been full of energy and running, his final ball just hasn’t been good enough. 

[Owen]

Even if England go out now, they have to go out with their heads held high. This was a phenomenal tournament for them and their best in a long time. Plus, they might be fine. Remember, Croatia were just 5 minutes away from losing their game against Russia and if England can get a goal in extra time and just hold up defensively, they can get through it.

[FLiam]

I don’t think our bench is built for situations like this. 

We need more maturity. 

I think James Milner would be ideal right now.

[Lineker]

Another bloody 30 minutes of this.

[Baddar]

Destined for pens now. Extra time will be very stop-start. Potential for 7 subs to still be made.

[Gazz]

Rose on for Young is an absolute must now. Vrsaljko is their main outlet. Dele has to do more on that side too.

[Lineker]

Rose on!

This. Get Vardy on for Lingard as well.

[Lineker]

Hendo off for Dier.

[GoN_]

England could and should have been able to kill their hopes before the 1-1. They seemed to have this pretty much in the bag and then they concede a goal from nowhere and completely lose control of the match.

[Owen]

What a save!!

[The Lusophone]

1. This ref is shit.

2. Why is Harry Kane playing defensive mid.

[FLiam]

Jordan Pickford is fucking outstanding.

[Baddar]

Save.

He really has been great this whole knockout stage. I'd never even heard of him before it started (I obviously am not a big football fan), but his performances have really impressed (and also annoyed) me.

[Bobfoc]

I can't imagine France are terrified by the thought of facing one of these sides right now.
