July 11, 20187 yr I do wish they wouldn’t pass all the way back so often, makes me nervous every time and Croatia seem to be much more aware of it than the other teams we’ve faced. Doesn't do my nerves good that all as well.
July 11, 20187 yr Author So many missed chances this half, hope that doesn't come back to bite us. The Russians booing whenever Vida gets the ball is a bit unnerving.
July 11, 20187 yr So glad that England didn't concede a goal just before half-term - I couldn't watch! D: (Think this is my first post in the sports forum argh) Edit: Half-time, not half-term :rofl:
July 11, 20187 yr Passing from the back is fine.. but the problem is we usually pass it to Pickford who hoofs the ball and gives the ball back to Croatia. We are playing ok. Croatia are completely dominating the midfield as you would expect but it's meaning we are almost a back 5 at times. It's on a knife edge at the moment, unfortunately we are playing the right way but Henderson either overhits the final pass, or the attacking players are not making the right runs.
July 11, 20187 yr come on England *_* Hopefully the second half will play out like the first, but without the missed oppotunities!

July 11, 20187 yr About as perfect a start as we could ask for, but it's been awfully tense after that and some of those missed chances were crucial. Obvs I wouldn't mind if it stayed like this, but Croatia can easily come back from this like they have in other matches so another goal from us plz~
July 11, 20187 yr England are playing a lot better than Croatia at the moment, Croatia have been absolute shite! The game so far is reminding me of the 1999 Champions League final and how that game started. England will hope that it doesn't end in the same way that match ended.
July 11, 20187 yr It's been a largely good performance - I think we need to settle the nerves a bit though, hence all the passes back to Pickford. Sterling is looking like our weapon right now, get the ball down to him and Jesse and we'll have plenty of chances to shove the ball in the area.
July 11, 20187 yr The Russian fans are booing Vida after Vida said 'This is for Ukraine' after Croatia's win v Russia.
