Was at work all day but wow what a tournament by Croatia, a very mentally strong team. England will never get a path to the final that easy again, huge missed opportunity for them. I thought Harry Kane, Lingard, and Ali became very ineffective once Croatia settled down and had very mediacore performances in the knockout round. Tough pill to swallow. England seem to consistently fold under pressure, I see similar traits to how they respond with adversity to how the last few generations of Brazilians have as well. So much pressure put on these guys from the media and when they start feeling it the system breaks down. One shot on target in 120 minutes is just really bad and given the talent on the team it’s inexusable.

Edit: Also, Modric for Ballon D’or. No one deserves it more
