So pleased you don't feel the need to follow the herd. Make me wonder why you bother exchanging your precious thoughts with us herd-dwellers, thanks though. My pleasure. I am just feeling positive after the result and don’t feel the need to scapegoat. I’ll leave that to those who don’t want to feel the joy. It’s a team game. Team responsibility and team glory. Other people’s ratings don’t bother me. I watched a game where Harry Kane was the official man-of the match but I’d be surprised if he was top of many people’s list.

It was a pretty decent performance all-round, especially having given up a lead wildly against the run of play. I think you've every right to feel positive about the overall performance against a tricky side, the likes of which we've seen frustrate us many, many times. Onwards and upwards I reckon!

Not sure how much of ‘Dier was crap’ might be construed as positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just more friendlies dressed up as meaningful match-ups. What a fab tournament. Top of our group and deffo back mixing it with the big boys now. Think your original post was more accurate. What mickey mouse competition rewards a no score bore draw with promotion and an exciting score draw with relegation. So yet again our top players get little rest in the summer and we have to suffer winter breaks for our clubs because there's too much football!

A score draw yesterday would have relegated us because we failed to score in Croatia. The head-to-head results would have favoured Croatia because scoring a goal away from home is more difficult and so valued more. There will be two games in the summer where there would ordinarily have been qualifiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably conscious of players needing a rest, earlier games, longer to recover. It's the first time, outside a major finals, that I've sat down to watch, and was totally engrossed by an England game in years. Regardless of the result, I'd say it's been a worthwhile exercise. One thing I still can't stand though... THE DUCKIN' ENGLAND BAND!!! JUST STFU ALREADY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always going to be hard to create an atmosphere at international matches due to the limited number of songs so at times it takes the band to get the fans going. It's a bit like the South Stand situation where the people actually trying to do something to create an atmosphere are the ones that come in from the most criticism by people sat there doing nothing.
