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!!
It's the world cup, nothing is on a plate. Ask Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Spain et al, all massive footballing nations and all out before both us and Croatia. Give over.
When we went out the Euros I was angry. This tournament I expected very little. Southgate has built a good foundation, and with the likes of Foden/Maddison/Sancho and Lookman coming through you get the feeling we’ll soon have that little more quality that we lacked tonight.
I’m not sure what’s more painful, losing tonight or losing in a final, but the reality is we simply wouldn’t have been good enough to beat a fully firing France. Oh well
Missed opportunity and we’ve been nudged out in a 50:50 game against a non-top 5 team. However we could easily have had a different draw and been similarly nudged out in the 2nd round.
A few players have really stepped up this tournament and not a single one can be criticised for their commitment, attitude and togetherness.
Ultimately though there are a few players that are not quite at that top level. They may be one day, but not at this tournament, and that showed at points in this game (and had we got through been shown even greater v France).
Southgate done a cracking job though, hats off to everyone involved
Christ, I couldn't make this up. As soon as the World Cup ended Fox started showing "The 700 Club," which is Pat Robertson's TV show. Pat Robertson has, for decades, been the poster child for Fundamentalist Evangelical Christianity. Two minutes of this (I couldn't find the remote) might have hurt more than the England loss.
So gutted. But you have to say they deserved it more after the first half hour. We came up a bit short in quality. Lots of potential in the squad but lacking in 3 or 4 positions for the very top level.
England fans absolute quality again tonight. We got a lot further than I expected so going to console myself with that. and the match wasn't decided on a controversial refereeing decision. All 4 semi final teams have tried to play football and not focus on diving and winning by underhand means.
For the first time in years we've overachieved. You can stick your golden generation up your arse. Very proud of this young team and what they've done, and all credit to Southgate.
Lack of nous in midfield, Lingard and Alli outclassed. Kane ordinary, he should have gone off and Sterling stayed on. But still, I doubt there was a soul who believed we would get to the semi final before the tournament, so well done to Southgate and the whole team. Fortunately, supporting Charlton kind of inures you to defeat.

Right. But can't you just, for once,keep your political nonsence on one of the many threads available for that kind of thing?
ITV, thank fuck I don’t have to listen to them for another couple of years.
Tyldesley and Hoddle are simply shit.
True, I find myself wondering what they are looking at and why are they talking such drivel. These idiots get paid well to wind me up. It’s no better on the BBC with that palace halfwit getting excited at sod all. I don’t and probably no other football supporter needs a commentator or an ex footballer, (who can’t get a proper job), needs the bloody obvious regurgitated over and over. I had enough of football this summer roll on league one’s opening day when the only nonsense spoken I have to listen to is between me and my friends. Well done England, we did well to get where we ended. Thankfully we won’t have anymore of this belated hype from the media.
I never imagined we would reach the semis before the tournament, this team has overachieved to get this far. Ultimately we lack quality in midfield when against the very best at the moment, but it’s ultimately been a highly successful tournament
Make no mistake , that is he easiest chance we will ever have to get to get to a World Cup final . To me with the draw we had we have performed just below par because that is how easy that draw was . Get to final and it was just above par So not having read what other punters said I’m not gonna give any credit to this lot because to me they should have done better because Croatia aren’t that good . Anyway the most important thing is that Belgium twunt fucks off

No wonder people think England fans are insufferable.
Can we not just be proud of our team getting further than they have in 28 years and congratulate the opposition on their first WC final ever?
I'm gutted, but pleased we did well for an average young side.
Very proud of this young team and what they've done, and all credit to Southgate.
More shots on goal 7-1
England's only shot on goal happened in the 5th minute. Ouch.
But still, I doubt there was a soul who believed we would get to the semi final before the tournament, so well done to Southgate and the whole team.

Hardly.
We've just been knocked out, literally moments ago.
Emotions run high, what do you expect.

I’ve consoled myself with the fact that at least I won’t ever have to live there
Still put them chances away 1st half its a different story.
No devastated, Croatia were better and I hope they win on Sunday
