We looked like the England of old in the second half. Instead of playing balls in the space behind, we kept hoofing to the defenders heads, playing a game that suits them. We need to pick it up in extra time.
We've done better than I thought we would do but we lack a proper midfield when playing the better teams. We had no creativity from midfield, all we had from the beginning of the second half was the hoof.
So both Belgium and England lose in Semi's they should win, any guess the common theme? Yup a core of spurs players, Kane missing in action and I thought he was poor in the quarters as well. NVM Euro's next.
Valiant and honourable effort, but came short against the first half decent quality opposition faced (except the Belgium game which had nothing riding on it). It was such a great chance.
We fell into the trap of ball back to defenders and hoof. Thought Henderson was ok. Just don't get Ali and Lindgard they don't put themselves into positions to pick up the ball. Kane became anonymous and just a target man. We lacked ideas and fitness.

Croatia looked much the better in that last half hour.
It was a fun ride, but just not good enough in the end.
I was odd to feel joy and not embarrassment whilst watching the national team.
