Waistcoat sales are already dropping. Some people are even returning the ones they bought.

Come on. They are young. Didn’t play brilliantly tonight but they have had a better tournament than many of us thought and in Southgate we have a decent manager for the future.

Agree. A lot of average and below average performances. Lack of nous versus streetwise players. First 25mins great. Then Croatia bossed us. Defence comes away with some credit and the likes of Foden to come!

We gave up on the cavalier play we have shown at times and went back to the old conservative England.

The game was there for the taking and we blew it.

How many billions go into the PL every year compared with the Croat top flight? How can we be so technically inferior? I thought all these foreign imports had improved us greatly?

We missed a technically gifted midfielder - Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain,
Lallana.

In terms of tonight - Rashford for Sterling was a poor substitution.

A shame, but the penalty shoot-out win against Colombia was my World Cup Final. Everything after that was just froth!

Was really hoping he was gonna give a sweet left hook to the guy he squared up to.

Too many times we were in good positions only to then take the ball all the way backwards and pass back to Pickford.

It was like a throwback to 2 years ago at some points with the going backwards. Earlier games we didn't seem to do it so much, but it just wasted some good positions tonight. Frustrating.

But without pissing on any chips, we only came up against one half decent side, who a lot of pundits and ex England players were saying we not that good a side.

We were beaten embarrassingly easy in the end tonight.

Anyone else not going to bother watching the final on Sunday now?

Don't think I could stand all the diving and feigning injury and time wasting etc.

It's not sour grapes, I just don't think I could stomach it.

England vs Belgium for 3rd Place. I wonder if Southgate will try to win it, or just throw in the players who haven't played yet.
A pretty meaningless game really, who remembers who came third at the World Cup?

Be reserves. Almost certainly.

Pointless game.

Big players went missing tonight.

Once again we played very deep.

One shot on target isn’t good enough sadly

Italy beat us in1990 !! Suspect he'll have to utilise squad, as they'll be shattered. Laughably it'll be Belgium 2nd team v England 2nd team, round 2. Think we all know what'll happen!!

Need to get rid of the 3rd place game. I hope Croatia win the final, I'll still be watching.

Can't help but thinking the English players who look so good in the PL only look good because of all the top foreign players around them.
When they are surrounded by other English players, their weaknesses are exposed.

Don't ask me to think that far back. I really can't remember who we played past Cameroon, Belgium and Germany.

It’s an idiotic thing to say anyway.

Which great teams did Spain and Germany play. We did better than them, Brazil, Argentina and Portugal. Italy and Netherlands didn’t even get there.
