well apart from Kane not putting his chance away that was just about as good a first half as England could have wished for

As soon as the ball falls to his feet it all goes wrong though.

yeah, he takes way too long to make his decision 

Bank holiday Monday anyone?

Funny half, should be further ahead yet by the same token Croatia could have got one back.

We need to watch those back passes to Pickford as Croatia are reading them.

Why would you want a national day off to celebrate France's WC win? Where's the Agincourt spirit!?

I'm sorry to have to say quite a few of the English players have kind of inbred faces.

'Should have gone to Specsavers!'

The longer this tournament goes on the more i'm impressed by Trippier

What the f**k has this ref been smoking before the game?

Somebody has had a word with the ref. It wouldn't be international football without the ref giving decision's against England.

Great cross great defending.

Clear pen not given to Crotia in 1half........Kane got the exact pen.

1-1 on penalties missed now, Sterling was fouled the defender made the challenge and missed the ball.

Walker taking one to his Stones...

2 wrongs do not make it alright......a huge error, if given would make Eng very nervous.

uhhhh oohh

Poor from England in this half, the goal was coming. Really need to dig deep now.

darn it - but they were allowing too much time and space to Croatia 

Walker showing why he isn't a center back. Gotta jump for it, not stoop.

Anywhere else on the pitch that is dangerous play high boot.

Bad defending that.....but deserved.

Oh well it was fun while it lasted...

I think England have another gear here but Croatia are tiring. 

We got this, time to up another gear.

Sterling is sh*t. A simple ball through was all that was needed and he over hits it. Terrible footballer, without pace he wouldn't even have made it.

Panicking now.
