How has Croatia not made a sub?! Is Delic going to make history by bringing four on at same time?

If Croatia get fresh legs on they can win this before penalties.

He probably just doesn't trust his other players. I mean Croatia is a really small country, they aren't stacked with quality players.

Ref has allowed Croatia to be overly aggressive the whole game

No idea, perhaps someone can shed some light on it. I'm thinking three or less?
Two v Tunisia and the one that hit him v Panama.

I don't think he's 100%. If you think back to Colombia extra time he could barely move so probably picked something up during the tournament and it resurfaces when matches go long.

Dele Alli has been absolutely atrocious... no idea why he is still on the pitch - he just isn’t very good. In other words, incoming goal coming very soon guys. Jinx for you.

England:
What’s really worrying is how Mourinho sees Young as first choice left back.

The guy looks absolutely fecked and will only get a few weeks off before pre season.

You just knew. Second half we would be deep and allow pressure on ourselves. But it’s a World Cup semi final, any team would drop a yard if you haven’t got the quality.

I’d be gutted not to get to the final BUT I’m proud of this England team. The last good performance before this World Cup for Croatia away when we beat them 4-1, Walcott hat-trick.

We need to keep going in this extra time, we need to believe.
Who doesn't have the quality?

Dalic is a really bad coach. He persits with Brozovic who has done absolutely nothing and it takes him forever to make changes.

Thanks. Yes, certainly seems like it. Makes you wonder what impact it'll have on Spurs' season as I reckon he'll need a layoff after this tournament.

Funny how England look more tired when it was Croatia who had one day less to freshen up and played 120 mins in their previous game.

Dier coming on.:lol: Seriously Loftus Cheek or Delph would be better in this situation.

Henderson getting out of there before he has to take another penalty.

It really shouldn't have come to this. Kane is going to rue that miss in the first half. All this coming home shit will end tonight. The momentum is all with Croatia now and I just cannot see England beating this Croatia team which has won 2 penalty shoot-outs in a row in a penalty shoot-out again. We were lucky against Colombia as they missed their advantage. It's not coming home lads. Congrats Croatia for making it to your first ever World Cup final.
