Makes you wonder why Croatia didn’t go a little more direct earlier. It’s causing Spain some problems.

Let off for Spain, there.

Southgate's stock gets better by the game. A win against Germany tomorrow and he probably goes down as the second best England manager of all time and second only to the great Alf Ramsey

That’s a big leap devil.
We’ve still got to do the business and we don’t want the Czechs and Croatians through to the last 8 and us to miss out.

Where do Spain go from here in this match? What would be Southgate’s team talk now ?

She'll be on a different chapter now looking for clichés to do with extra time. No mention from her of Modric who, as usual, is running the game.

I am absolutely loving Modric in this game

Keeper has made up for his earlier muck up.

Should be 4-3 up now, Croatia!

Superb finish

Poor defending.
Great shot though.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 7:10 pm

class from Morata

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 7:11 pm

Game over now. Surely.

Five.

Silkyskills1 · Post by **Silkyskills1** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 7:12 pm

All over now.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 7:12 pm

All over this time.

Woodleyclaret · Post by **Woodleyclaret** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 7:12 pm

Morata took his goal well but hes a cheating diver spending more time diving than Jack Grealish

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 7:13 pm

Looking forward to Spain against France..... if they overcome Switzerland.

Can't believe I turned off at 3-1 thinking the game was done, wtf

insane game !! Neither side can defend and I don't think I've ever seen Morata play so well in terms of hold up play

boatshed bill · Post by **boatshed bill** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 7:19 pm

I've been watching Modric, extra time is 15 mins too much for him so far.
Perhaps he's had a red bull and will be re-energised.

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 7:20 pm

Laporte looks top class in the prem but he's been awful in the latter stages of this game.

I might be wrong (I often am), but I'm sure I read earlier that the Swiss are unbeaten against France in the last 5 games

his biggest test tomorrow, I'm hoping he is brave because I think we can hurt Germany

Football that is.

Goals. Drama. Two comebacks. Great football. Great finishing. And all in front of a packed house and passionate support.

Brilliant to watch. And Copenhagen has been a great venue.

Had my doubts about multi country format. But it’s surprisingly added to it.

ecc · Post by **ecc** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 7:43 pm

And Morata who hits the deck time and time and time ...again.

Actually not far off the truth.

Can't remember Walter Winterbottom, but apparently he was very good too.

Brilliant game, I'm really happy morata left the prem though. Really dislike him.

Great name but keep it quiet cos a few on here will have a heart attack when they find out he had no previous managerial experience (not even 3 years at Middlesbrough)

Not too sure about yet multi country myself. Some teams have had to schlep backwards and forwards across Europe while England have had home advantage in every game. Hard to complain as we are benefitting from it massively but it doesn't feel like a level playing field.

It's such a shame the English national anthem is so weak when it comes to stirring up the crowd in comparison to the French & Italian anthems.

Getting a mention about Varane facing us at Turf Moor next season - against Wood & Barnes

He was talking about Utd being after Verane and then mentioned them but I wasn’t really paying attention

Yes. He said about somebody - I missed who maybe Mbappe - he hasn't been to Burnley on a windy night to play against Mee and Tarkowski. Rather a compliment.
