Hes not man. He drags defenses out of total shape and creates a ton of space. He sees the game so well.

A lot of players could do that and have an end product too. 

 

I still don't see what Alli brings to the party either.

absolutely toothless up front. 

They pretty much have been the whole tournament. Most of their goals have come from midfield.

Croatia can't surely be this bad second half

They should take encouragement they are still in the game as they should be at least 2 behind.Didnt expect England to dominate the way they have

You so would if either were in maroon ?

 

Seriously that’s why this team functions well. They’ve grown up through the ranks and they are selfless. Personal criticism means nuts to them because they know what their team mates thinks.

This youthful squad shite is doing my head in.

 

McGuire 25

Kane 25 this month

Walker 28

Henderson 28

Trippier 27

Alli 22

Sterling 23

Pickford 24

Young 33

Stones 24

Lingard 25

 

 

That's not a young team that is a team in their prime that have played hundreds of games each at the highest level in league, champions league and internationally.

Best England have played in the tournament so far but Croatia still right in this. There’s definitely a weakness there in that England defence and gk.

Those crowd celebrations almost feel manufactured with all the drink being chucked in the air. Like they keep half a pint back in case they score.

I'm not even angry that England are winning, I'm angry that so many pints are being thrown in the middle of a CO2 shortage.

Plenty of space wide for Croatia but the balls in have been honking.

Unfortunately there is a weakness in Croatia in attacking areas

Average squad age is second youngest. Wouldn’t knock it tbh. Youngest is France.

they also need more men in the box, as it seems there is at most two, and there is a lack of midfield runners into the box

Amazing watching the fans from different cities celebrating  can't help wishing it was Scotland though but know that is a long way away especially with our men at the top in control. Another goal is needed for England I feel

Which tells it's own story I think.

 

World cup is played after a full season.

 

Games come thick and fast with little down time.

 

Older players need more recovery time.

 

If you bring a squad with younger players without sacrificing the experience you are likely in with a shout of going a long way.
