Unless it's a PK or tap-in, Kane gonna Kane...

Ok. He didn't call offside. Just ball out over the endline.

It's like the linesman was flagging that it went out of bounds...which should have been a corner

i think he was waiting to confirm the player who touched the ball was the player he thought was offsides...

Wow. England over the last two matches have wasted so many great chances.

The goalkeeper?

no linesman

England blowing wide open opps

This could bite them

England chance created becuase Young fouling and tugging his opponent and gets a no call...

Touche. He actually had to do the work to create that one, though.

Either AR2 had a very delayed and wrong call for offside on Kane or he got the touch out wrong.

think it was a delayed offsides call, looked like the gk took it at the spot of the call

That's a card...he got up and sprinted to foul the guy.

That was a hot headed foul.

Should have been a yellow there

this is going to get nasty if he isn't going to show cards

That's a card. Rebic stepped on Young. FIFA has emasculated the refs this tournament.

And Croatia at the 40 minute mark goes full CONCACAF, fouls for everyone

Finally a ref admits that handing out cards makes them feel manly

Needs to get a shot away there

Looked like he had an open passing lane to Modric and he didn't get that off either.
wangus12
How long do you want to ignore this user?
He didn't see it because he was looking at the ball. Gotta get those eyes up
PatAg
How long do you want to ignore this user?
That would be a soft penalty, both players are tugging at each other

Yea, that's a play that happens at all levels. Player feels like he got fouled with no call. Then gets up and sprints after the play and takes someone out

45 more mins of England absorbing pressure and countering by kicking long to Sterling who flubs a bunch of half chances with Kane and Alli. Exciting time....

Croatia has to be be looking to strike early in the 2nd half. Eventually you figure they'll just run out of steam with the extra miles on their legs.

Maybe but he still didn't have much effort in a world cup semi final

How is he supposed to go after something he doesn't see until it's too late?
wangus12
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah the longer it takes and more open it gets, the more outrageous the chances England will miss

Bring on Kovacic to tie it up.

Mandzukic has got to find something more because he has been a ghost for most of this tournament.
