He just seems to suit Southgate's system.

This.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

What the hell happened to the Croatian team from the World Cup?
These ones look like they are there just because they have to

3 years is a long time in football when key players in a team are old...
Modric was 32 at the World Cup, now 35
Rakitic was 30, now 33
Experienced players like Mandzukic, Vida and Lovren no longer around

Star of the match haha

Total corporate bollocks

If you don't want to use the word "man" then just say "player of the match"

Since the World Cup they lost 6-0 to Spain and have lost to the following countries - Hungary, Tunisia, Sweden and Slovenia whilst drawing with the likes of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkey and Wales

They are an average team

maybe they all had asthma in the world cup.
*taps nose

Vida started today for Croatia ...

Good start for England

Hope the Scots do well tomorrow

Strangely I think Scotland vs England will end 1-1

If Scots beat the Czechs then a draw with England should see both teams through

 

[daza_1973]

So if the republik of Czechoslovakia beat the jocks - ingerland can eliminate them next game ?

 

[TheBigIguana]

TS had a dig at Pickford claiming he looked flustered

Looked bored to me

 

[kenada_blue]

Coming home...

Scotland can still qualify if they finish third in the group. 1 win could be enough.

You can only beat what’s in front of you but England will be picked apart by a decent team imo.

1. Croatia
2. England
3. Czech
4. Scotland

1. Croatia
2. Czech
3. Scotland
4. England

More than likely...

World Cup finalists, should beat a team who fluked themselves to a semi final.

A midfield of Modric, Kovacic, Brozovic is better than any midfield England could put out IMO

Decent side Croatia. Personally think we’re a bit wank. Read only two of Foden/Grealish/ Rashford to be dropped.

I’m at the pub so can’t turn it off but if Henderson starts I’ll quickly move my gaze elsewhere.

Croatia and Scotland will get something against these,i think it'll go to the last game.

….thought Croatia got to the World Cup Final.

[dublinbluenose]

Kane was non-existent in that game today.

…..winning teams tend to grow into competitions, all about points at this stage.
