yeah. as a neutral party with no emotional involvement i saw england throw away a huuuuge advantage. not just the early goal but the croatian desperation that followed and could have been exploited but wasn’t.

it’s understandable that southgate wanted more of the same i suppose but... it wasn’t.

it took croatia about 1/2 hour to start getting their shit together. people say the second half they came better—but in my eyes they got their shape earlier, just that, being a passing team, took a while to start getting results.

i thought southgate would respond at halftime (said so this much here) but nope... same plan.

ive been looking at the british press and tv for explanations for the defeat and i hear a lot of praise and pride but nobody except cox says what i think—which is you guys threw away the lead. not trying to salt the wound, just looking at it clinically.

a creative midfielder would be great, but speed is a feature of young teams. get ready for the euro!
