Croatia sent England home on their way to final
Croatia ended England's dream after hard-fought comeback win in semifinals. Young Lions took the lead in the first half after superbly taken free-kick by Kieran Tripper and later had chances to insure their lead but Harry Kane and Jesse Lingard failed to make a difference. In the second half Croatia looked way more involved into their game as Luka Modric presence became really huge. On 68th minute Ivan Perisic netted fully deserved equalizer after perfect cross from Sime Vrsaljko. In the extra-time Zlatko Dalic’s side kept of piling on pressure and Mario Mandzukic scored a winning goal on 109th minute. Final score – 2:1.
- Croatia will encounter France in the final on July 15th
- England and Belgium will play for the bronze of the tournament on July 14th
The Croats have shown that they never give up and they always fight until the end. What impresses me is that it does not seem that the "fatigue" factor influenced much, because against England the changes came very late in the game. His style of play is very decisive, this final will be very interesting.
Even the bronze England will not see because Belgium will frustrate the because of what France did to the .
I know that Croatia will win England,even the first have that England scored an early goal ,they didn't even panic ,they where busy playing their normal game .
But they second half was a surprise to the England team .
Croatian team have try to win England and also the host (Russians),can they do it to France @topgame.l
We thought England is capable of eliminating Croatia but only to be stopped by France. Agree on bronze – Belgium will be 3rd
