We wont do it and we never will, we were completely outplayed in the second half by a nation of 4 million people. I am sorry but this nation cannot win a tournament and never will. Back to the grind of being so fed up with football! Hand it to them on a plate and they still fuck it up. Bless!!
There is no shame in going out to a team with better, more experienced players who put in a very good performance. I'm gutted. I know there's going to be a lot of upset reactions tonight, but in the cold hard light of day this is the third youngest team at the tournament with a lot of players on the up who now have experience winning group and knockout games. This is not the end, this is the beginning.
I am very critical of how a lot of English players are coached from a young age, how the focus on possession and tactical awareness isn't fostered nearly enough, and that England simply doesn't have enough coaches. But that's not why they're out tonight. They're out because they were beaten by a better team.
In a World Cup semi-final. Well done to this group.
We lacked big game players today to make a difference. Disappointed that Harry Kane didn’t show more today.

Boring.
Well done Southgate, well done the team.
I'm distraught that we're out but I couldn't be prouder.

Agree about Kane, though he also went missing against Sweden. But I think that's down to the fact that at this stage of their career, the English players aren't as good or experienced as the Croatia players are. To me that was the difference tonight. It's really fine margins.

They put everything in and came up short. Disappointed.
Trippier and Pickford men of the tournament for me.
Poor Tripper deserve for his tournament to end like this.
Harsh. He’s been one of the players of the tournament and no one deserves that.
Sorry that was a typo. It was supposed to be "doesn't deserve." Fixed it now. Yeah he was excellent for most of the tournament. It was so hard watching him struggle to just get back to the bench.
Sirens all over the bloody place outside. Expect the local manc pond life are turning the boozer over up the road.
Hurts, because for 40 minutes, England looked like they'd win at a canter. Last five minutes of the first half and you could hear their arseholes drop out from here. Awful way to go out - but nobody expected them to get to the quarters, let alone the semis. Cracking job by the manager - something to build on for the future and some real revelations (Trippier, Pickford, Stones, Maguire)
England should return home to a good reception, but to call them national treasures as the commentary team did is just wrong. Let's win something first before we bandy about that particular accolade.
It's a shame that we couldn't get the ball into Kane like we had been doing. Times in that game all we needed was for him to win a free kick, or hold possession and lay the ball off.

Doesn’t stop me feeling physically ill though.

Kent CCC lose a match on TV.
England knocked out of a major tournament.
Some things never change.

The Pickford save, had that been an outfield player, it would have been a pen. Modric was class.
