England are obsessed with pressing high, which is fine, but it requires a lot of energy and it's a poor idea to do it for long periods on a warm day. England have still been the better side so far though. Croatia have looked pretty toothless; not much width. Modric is still a class act though, a joy to watch.

Was just going to say Modric still looks a class above everyone else on the pitch. Hopefully Billy can be a player in a similar mold, that’s how I see him develop.

Big Ramy 1314 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Philips surely must be on a yellow card shortly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor1996 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) That incident with a minute or so ago featuring Modric. People say that football is a contact sport. It isn't. It isnt a contact sport anymore. Edited June 13, 2021 by Taylor1996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, but they do seem to lack pace, both in attack and defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryWood34 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Ref having a shocker. A home fans pleaser. Any shout - free kick. England deserve their win if they get it but haven’t been overly impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romanticscot Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Croatia look toothless in attack on this performance but it's too early to get ahead of ourselves. This hasn't been a great game to watch, infact all of the games so far haven't been great other than Italy game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Pete Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Croatia look very much like a team who think they will beat us and the Czechs comfortably and will go through in second place with 6 points. They really don’t look interested in winning this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daviebee Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Must be the first time I've ever heard persistent fouling described as "being cute" and an "art form". Got to love the English commentators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Croatia had no interest in winning that game - was like a friendly. They would've taken a nil all draw, after they went one down they showed no appetite to try and equalise. Unfortunately, they won't play like that when they play us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to love the English commentators. Or "clever" when Kane does his trademark backing into the defender and collapsing. Won't be saying that when they get papped out by a savvy outfit!

Modric was his usual classy self but Perisic doesn't look as quick as he was and their defence is sluggish. Optimistic we can take them at Hampden.

Sterling got in a few times with direct balls and his pace, something we could exploit as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
