Young needs some help from Maguire. Their winger knows he's got the beating of him.

Next part is to get to HT still leading

Also seems a bit of a one trick game plan i.e. pass to Sterling and let him run at their defence

And come on Jesse at least make the keeper work.

England’s tactics are working well though. Croatia are struggling to cope with Sterling’s pace. England are playing at pace and are so much better for it but can they play like this for 90 minutes?

Is that a fishing fly stuck on the back of Ashley Young’s neck?

Need to be a bit more clinical, but that's pretty good going. Croatia definitely have a goal in them and we've certainly got a mistake in our defence. I'd like us to go long a bit less often... too many haven't really given the forwards a chance.

Kane's had so few clear cut chances this tourney (we seem to be playing to Sterling for that), shame not to have buried that one

Also kept the "Best midfield pairing in the world" (© - every fcuking unimaginative pundit) quiet.

Keeping the tempo up though will take some doing and no doubt Croatia will improve in the second half.

If it stays 1-0 the more nervy England will get as the game goes on. Obviously Croatia will get more attack minded the longer the game stays at that score which should mean more space opening up so really need to capitalise and get a second as soon as possible.

Also Croatia aren’t half giving it large to the ref, really hope he doesn’t try equalising something unnecessarily.

England playing at a slower tempo and not as effective. Croatia though are creating nothing.

Good header and 1-1. England have to raise the tempo now.

There was only 1 team that looked like scoring the last 20 min.

Need to get a proper threat. Their keeper has still only had to save one

Rashford needed to start with.

Really starting to look tired and sloppy, desperately need a break somewhere, somehow for someone in an England shirt.

Guess the last 10 mins or so will be two sides not taking chances so as to avoid making a costly error. Then extra time and who knows.....

Just cannot keep possession long enough to create or do anything of any note.
