All the BBC pundits thought that was a boring crap half. I didn't.

You're so clever tricky. They should get you on the show.
I don't think that they are interested in clever. Or football much.
On the plus side, there's a lot of clumping going on now that Croatia have scored. It's good to see.
Croatia have dropped to a 4-5-1/5-4-1 without the ball now. Southgate must have made them.
I also don't think it's boring, this has been a great match.
And a Croatian goal was exactly what it needed. Beautifully poised.
I assume yellows are not carried over given the quality of the wrestling?
Albania losing guarantees us into the last 16.
Seeing as you seem to be on it ... Any idea when our next game will be? And or who we might be playing?
(Presuming we top the group, which is far from a given).
Top of group we play 5pm Sunday against 3rd from DEF (no idea how they pick which one).
At least we have a free hit where we can tweak things and find a different setup that actually works. Or just put Conor Gallagher into the same team and hope for the best.
Croatia alternated between four or five systems tonight, depending on phases of play, and mixing it up trying to find a way. And nearly did. I doubt we've tried five systems in four years.
Lucky that we don't need to because we are the best.
Oooh Croatia that is going to hurt!
Last kick of the game and the Italians jammy bastards they are, get through...
Somehow they always find ways to get results. Cracking goal though..
Chicago: Not that lucky.
Win the group and we probably get someone shite, runners up and it's Germany.

It's quite possible that we could win the group and get France or Belgium in the R16.
They're shite. We're the best. Read the room.

There’s a formula for whichever are the four best 3rd places. Obviously need to avoid playing someone from the same group plus have to factor in rest days for groups E and F (although there is a two day break before the start of the second round anyway).
