No the assistant flagged for a dead ball, though I think it was a corner as the keeper seemed to get a touch to Kane's second effort.Kane was given offside

You've nailed it mate. This was the reason I cautioned against the hype last week. Two half decent teams played two losses. But it's refreshing that despite the hype of last week and the obvouob disappointment of tonight, fans like you can be balanced and constructive with criticism. As I stated last week I suspect those who failed to stay grounded, hyping every win to fuck will be the main ones going overboard with criticism. But you've nailed it mate, nailed it.They were better. No lumping it forward to the opposition time and again. Modric was the best player. Southgate will get a lot pf plaudits and rightly so but his pre-occupation with subbing Sterling off with the game in the balance in at least 3 games shows a lack of tactical judgement from him. Alli was either not fit or if he was then he he has to answer why he was consistently poor in all games. Kane, apart from penalties, was mostly ineffective throughout the tournament. Lingard, one wonder goal in a 6-1 and nothing else...at all. Rashford delivered nothing and meant our main threat was withdrawn. Ashley Young woeful in this game. Rose should have started all the games. Henderson ran around a lot in most games- as expected but no quality. Plaudits to Stones, Maguire, Trippier, Pickford and Walker for their tournaments. Tbh I couldn't see either Croatia or England beating France.
Disappointed but we weren’t unlucky. Did nothing after half time. Croatia were better than us by far. Unfortunately Kane went missing and no-one else looked like scoring. We were completely dominated in midfield. Definitely overachieved and we’ll be better in 4 years. Desperately need a creative midfielder.
Yes he switched off but he wasn’t the only one. Trippier didn’t even attempt the first header.
Back 5 were fucked because they had nothing in front and it kept coming back at them.
