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