Kudos to an older, exhausted (coming off three straight 120 minute matches) Croatia, who looked the better side from basically halftime on. Fully deserved finalists.

I do feel for Trippier, and I really wish we could have seen a full complement of English players selling out for that tying goal

The attempted bank shot off the post and off the keeper would've been sick had it gone in. Should have finished it on the previous chance, though.

Question: When one has a proven man defending the goal do you think the defense can be somewhat complacent?

Sucks, ref screwd England the entire 2nd half.
I would not say screwed but the ref had an awful second half. There were a number of play on calls that were obvious fouls.

No. Did Cakir get everything right? No. Did he make any key match incident error? Not even close. England lost because they can't finish.

BS, he missed several in the 2nd half that could have been difference makers. Croatia worked the ref over after halftime, got all the no calls the 2nd half. One ball was out the end line, should have been a corner. Several other no calls on fouls.

I didn't say that's why England lost (you are putting words in my mouth), but it sure didn't help, and they needed the help.

Croatia got had a fair number of opportunities, but the goal difference came from a fortunate header, broken play.

Normally when you say "the ref screwed ____" its implying that's why they lost

Yellow briefly took the lead after yesterday's game, but lost it back to red/red-orange today.

If you need the help from the ref, you don't deserve to win.

Well, just bunch of England haters on here, that was evident from the game comments earlier.

But Kane will likely get the golden boot conciliation prize same as with tottenham.

Sitting in a little house near a military base in England. No transportation to a pub and no TV. I'm too dumb to get the game to stream, but every time something happens I know to check ESPN on my phone because the soldiers either cheer or groan.
that's awesome


When the game ended the sound just went to nothing. Then you just heard cars start to leave in silence.

Owen Goal won the Golden Boot. Kane gets the consolation prize for making the most penalty kicks.

Pity...there was just too much spurs in this England squad to win a trophy.

Best quote I heard today was from my friend from Tipp Ireland and very pro united Ireland in the first half
"The English are getting away with murder"
"Nothing new"

Hard to believe Kane is gonna probably win the Golden Boot with 3 penalties and 1 incredibly luckily slight deflection he knew nothing about

Panama

He may not win it as the 3rd place game is a joke and lukaku is only 2 back

It's crazy to me that Kane was given that goal

Do they not have any wiggle room in these determinations?

Panama got a lot of stick from English fans when they attempted the same thing against them.

Eff you, England!!!
