England's energy has dropped have Croatia paced themselves better?...

 

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.

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.

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. 

I don't think they can play any other way, so they shouldn't be able to surprise us.

Yeah almost looked like they were happy to take a -1 goal difference as a decent result.

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

Looked poor. 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.

Same. Sterling got in a few times with direct balls and his pace, something we could exploit as well.
