I am not going back through the thread to see if it has been said. But they are playing Sterling like we'd expect to see Vardy being played. Except that Sterling isn't anywhere near as clinical.

Sterling has scared them stiff.

[Izzy]

Croatia are rattled. Shut up Modric

 

 

[Webbo]

Not a bad half. Think that Lovren could've been booked at least once. I'd be a lot happier with another couple of goals.

[Mr Mister]

This will be the most nervous next 45 mins ever.

[kingfox]

Should be 2-0

Getting cagey but defended just about well enough

A bit too wasteful again

 

Think I need a nappy.

[The Guvnor]

Has Lovren been booked if not he should have. Couple of decent chances there , Lingard and Kane need to take your chances at rhis level. Beauty from Trippier though.

Good half lads!

 

Keep after 'em!

[Max Wall]

We've dominated that 1st half. Really didn't think I'd be saying that.

[foxes_rule1978]

Playing with a swagger should be 2 up great first half lads!

[Tuna]

Sterling is gonna score a worldie in the second half you've heard it here first.

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

Need to get another goal. Should have already had one by now

[Detroit Blues]

Very important that England didn't concede a dumb goal at the end there. Completely dominant half, Croatia need to make some changes.

[Tuna]

ITV obviously have told Slaven his services were not required for today's game.

[Innovindil]

Made this Croatia team look proper ordinary. Same again second half please! 

[Vacamion]

 

I was crapping it at the end of that half.

 

Those of you with dodgy guts and nerves shredded, how you doing?  

 

I think another goal and we’d all relax and actually enjoy it.

 

As it is, it is difficult to say “good move, hard luck” when we miss.

Well I think we’re playing really well considering. A bit more composure in front of goal and we could win this. 

You ok mate?

I know you're feeling exactly the same as me at this point.

 

Don't rep this, that's not why I posted it.

Spot on. I really feel like I know you 

[coolhandfox]

Think we need to show a little more quality.

 

They are pressing the back 3 very hard, can't see how they can keep this up for 90 minutes.

[ozleicester]

At some point, I am going to roll over in a gutter in Amsterdam, look around and realise the past 5 years have just been a drug induced weekend,

[foxes_rule1978]

If we score a second it will kill this game they looked shell shocked

I’m far from ok mate, I’m a nervous wreck.

 

When I get stressed my Crohn’s flares up so I’m typing this sat on the bog. Picture the scene

Can you imagine Slaven Bilic and Roy Keane in the same studio? 

[Tuna]

Have to say I think we've looked extremely comfortable and for a bit more composure in front of goal we could be 2 up which would not have flattered us.

 

We seem to be putting ourselves under a bit of pressure passing it around at the back though.

[TeamRocket]

Scary 1st half don't get why they passing back when they attacking that scared the hell out of me need to start doing that DDP yoga
