I don’t think we’ll get a better chance to win it ever again - holland and Italy not even in it, most of the big boys that were there got eliminated early, all these teams will be back better than ever come the next World Cup - we had an easy ride and had the quality to beat Croatia - Kane was largely shit, as was Dele Alli - not sure why Raheem got all the negative press and not the Tottenham bottle jobs

Exactofuckingmendo! This is exactly what i sent out on text during the match... why could no one see it???
They are fucking mummies boys who can't handle it.
And as it's been said, England aren't as good as City which is why Sterling looked lost. he's used to playing with far better players.
I wish there was a way to know you are in the good old days....before you've actually left them...

Hoddle just said Sterling is fortunate that Southgate has stood by him. I'm unsure, is he saying Southgate doesnt know what he's doing despite being the most successful manager of England since 1966?

But rashgod was so good at sprinting into defenders and losing the ball! How's England supposed to lose possession now?!

terrible defending from Rose, but I've never understood the point of Dier. He always seems 2 yards behind the play and has less spark than Henderson in possession

Sprinting into his own defenders at that.

when he was uptop last game, I counted at least 5 times he didn't even challenge for an header. Crazy how much he's been hyped when he really is only good with the ball at his feet, facing goal, with a few yards to run at the defender.

Who's Tielemans play for? He seems decent. Mopping everything up!

Jonjo Shelvey should have been in the squad.

Dier is hiding and letting Delph do all the playmaking and picking up the ball from the defenders. Which he is doing very well.

Why's Hoddle not digging out Kane after he misses ANOTHER decent chance?

Only 21. One of the biggest rising stars in European football. A lot of the top clubs were looking at him last summer, but he choose wisely for Monaco who have a history of developing young players.

Notice how all of Rashford's teammates are directing him telling what he should be doing - and he's still not doing it. Chalk and cheese with Sterling who is always moving off the ball to offer himself up or find space.
