Average bunch of young players who have very little competition punching above their waite. Did no more than Iceland did in the Euros. But they did well.
The facts are that we beat:
Tunisia
Panama
Sweden
Sorry but were lucky with a easy route to the semis. IMO this England team is the least talented we've ever had.
Remember glen hoddles world cup squad? Beckham, Gerrard, Owen, scholes, lampard, Ferdinand, etc
They were crap. The Sweeden game was good but the rest was gash.
Ian, we love gash!

Looks like we can blame the press again. Modric said in a post match interview the UK press dismissive attitude towards the Croat team gave them extra motivation to beat England.
Southgate has done well getting rid of the crap older players like Hart and Rooney.
Whatever anyone thinks outside the field means nothing on the day. The Croatians played sneekily and pulled through. Simple as.
I agree about Hart and Rooney especially, he was over-rated trash, not a team player, never was.
