What's that, 4 minutes to make the decision and take the penalty? That's just silly.

I wasn't expecting much but goodness me that was bad. 2nd to pretty much everything, and our passing has been absolutely attrocious.

Loftus Cheek has been under used in this tournament in my opinion. Forward thinking, happy to run with the ball and is so strong to go with it. Lingard and Alli are too similar and if one is ineffective so is the other so it would have been good to try and mix it up a little.

I don't know why players such as Modric come out with such rubbish. The motivation is the game itself, if something some no mark says gives anyone extra motivation then they were not fully motivated in the first place. I just don't believe that would be the case in a game of such importance.

Croatia still slightly odds against to go though, I've emptied my betting account again like I did on Colombia the other night. Hopefully with the same results.

We need the midfield to come to the party, everything is bypassing them at the moment. Kane is having to drop deeper as a result to try and help out and to get a touch of the ball which makes us light up front.

We really need to get through to extra time here and regroup. One or two have panicked when we are still very much in the game if we can just calm things down.

Taking turns stitching each other up now, wow.

It's looking pretty frantic all over the pitch now. We really need some calm heads, and a goal would be lovely.

That's been coming. Need one or two to up their game, midfield all over the place.

I'm negative but easily pleased.

This game really needs a goal and it could become a classic.

Whatever city they were in is twinned with Cheltenham I believe.

He wasn't on the pitch so couldn't take a penalty.

Llandudno or maybe Conwy. North Wales is such a beautiful area. Maybe Aberaeron or Aberystwyth, West Wales is also fantastic.

Croatia having plenty of possession but doing nothing with it. They did similar against Denmark too.

Kane is seemingly quiet but him playing a bit deeper is encouraging the Swedish centre backs to come forward and leaving plenty of space for Sterling. I'd be inclined to swap Sterling for Rashford as he's more likely to make use of it.

People who hate their home nation. Back in 2014 my English brother in law was an Italian fan, Welsh in 2016 and no doubt will be Swedish this afternoon. He's happy to pick up his benefits for his 'disabilities' though. Shame he can't naff off somewhere else to do his scrounging.

Brazil looking very ordinary in the attacking third. For all their possession they have not really worked Courtois.

45 minutes from now it looks like being an all European affair.
