Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.

They did well to reach this stage, but in this game they got what they deserved.

After a decent display for 30 minutes, they suddenly turned into a poor team.

It looked to me as though they stopped closing down, relied on a 'defend-counter attack' tactic, and allowed Croatia the freedom they needed to gain confidence in their play.

They're still a good shout for the future of English football though . . young enough to develop into a very good national team, which makes a refreshing change

@ adzii_nufc . . 'reappear in the second half looking like Newcastle United' - I was actually reminded of a few Luton matches from the past few seasons
