Not to worry; they still have to play the consolation game vs Belgium on Saturday.

At least this time England will actually try to win the game.

I think you're right. I don't see either team beating France.

A few Germans could each throw a packet or two of firecrackers in close proximity to the French team, which would then immediately surrender, resulting in forfeiture of the Final match...

England was sure to win if - then when the Croats tied it in the second half, they collapsed like a pricked balloon.

They never recovered the initiative. So much for dreams of playing against France!

Now they’ll have to fight Belgium for third place.

Credit to Croatia for making the adjustments and getting Modric more involved.

Modric is by far the best player in the tournament.

Same here - how do you throw away a sure win? Yet they did.

Simply amazing. The Croats came from behind and utterly routed them!

Not a bad few months for Modric, Champions League title and now potential World Cup Champion.

England could only score from set pieces, that catches up with you eventually.

It was said England was on fresh legs due to the overtime Croatia played against Russia.
But the second half was the opposite.

LOL I think the only people as happy about this result as the Croats are the Scots and the Welsh.

And Gareth Bale was eligible to play for England but he turned them down for Wales.

They sure could have used him.

I think it’s dumb that the UK doesn’t field a team. They have a UK team for the Olympics, but not for soccer? That’s nuts. I know it’s tradition and all, but they might have more than one WC title as a combined team.

A team behind at the half, coming back to win, in the SemiFinal, in regulation. Unprecedented?
