I think the difference Weir , I expected England to win this game it was a wonderful opportunity. Perhaps my expectations ran too far ahead .

I’m more gutted now than after that 1990 trauma . Some members are probably too young to remember that! Putting tonight’s disappointment aside it’s been a great WC in terms of the amount of good games , lots of goals . Russia have been very good hosts . To be honest I’m totally underwhelmed by the thought of Qatar in 2022 , played in winter without any history of football , that WC is likely to be a soulless affair.

They need to ditch this stupid 3rd place game . It’s a waste of time and the players aren’t interested and neither are the fans .

Really should have put the game out of Croatia’s reach in the first half . After that it turned into hoof ball . How many opportunities do you get to play a team like Croatia to get into the WC final . I can cope with losing to a great team but with all respect we played an okay side and lost. Gutted doesn’t sum it up !

It’s going to be awful when the WC finishes . Like the Olympics it’s always a bit sad when it finishes .

You have to feel for Russia but I’d rather England face Croatia even though they are a better quality team . An England v Russia semi-final would be dominated by non football issues in the run up .

Jeez can you not just be happy that England have got through to the semi . The draw is what it is , sometimes you’re lucky and sometimes you get a tougher draw. It’s not Englands fault some fancied teams imploded . Of course we’d like England to play some super stylish football but if they get to the final they’ll have to beat a good team in either France or Belgium .

Harry Maguire another brilliant performance for England . That was a very stress free watch , I miss penalties ! Strange watching England without the need for beta blockers !

Agree and they’ve been brilliant in this game and have some wonderful players .

Very funny , I feel I’ve aged 20 years ! The thing I really like about this England team , there are no prima donas and their attitude is great .

OMG I’ve run out of alcohol! I’m exhausted , really that was painful . Please no more penalties .

I’m in tears ! OMG, OMG , OMG.

Oh my God! I don’t think I can cope!

OMG. Why the shortest player on the line! Columbia’s behaviour has been a disgrace and if there’s any justice England will win.

Did you see one of the Columbian coaching staff barging into Sterling ? The referee needs to get a grip .
