England v Croatia

[Polar bear]

I like the Nations league, much better than friendly games and the teams are taking it serious

If you do well,does it help qualifying for the 2020 Euro's ?

 

[Oduwa]

Handed the goal to Kane on a plate.

Pretty much, there isn't a player out there who could have stepped over that so elegantly.

 

[bornabluenose]

As an exiled Scot living in England and who knows the more results like this the more insufferable my English cousins will become , you have to say they have deserved this.

 

[top_cat]

England are jammy bastards. That is all.

It gives you another chance at qualifying if you dont get through your normal qualifying group.

Thought I had read something about that,cheers mate.

 

[Kimarcus]

Fair play to England topped a tough group.

 

[Sam English]

Good result for England

 

[DejaVoodoo]

The competition is irrelevant for the vast majority of the teams in column A groups. They'll qualify for the Euros anyway via the normal process.

 

[47blue]

Great game. Rooted for Croatia but well done to England.

 

[Davieblue1977]

Well done england

 

[TheMilster]

Great result great comeback had gave up on my score and win bet but Harry delivered.

If you win your Nations League group you go into a pot of 4 teams around the same ranking as you who also won their group. If you dont qualify for the Euros the normal way then you have a semi final against one of the other 3 teams and the final against the winner of the other semi, winner of that qualifies. If you do qualify the normal way then the semi final place goes to the team who finished 2nd in your Nations League group.

Does that make any sense?

 

[alfiemorelos]

Dont get why a few wanted croatia to win?

 

[bobally]

I live in Croatia

Why not? It’s just football mate, no need to get over patriotic about other home nations imo.

 

[SSR]

Croatian players looked a lot more sturdier !!

 

[jprfc]

Glorified friendlies imo...roll on next Saturday

 

[alfiemorelos]

We’re a british club so shouldnt we want british nations to do well?

How many English internationals do we have in our team, and how many Croats do we have that are or will soon to be. Think a lot of us watched the Albania game last night to watch our player. I couldn't care less about England winning as they are 'not my team' (unless its cricket!)

 

[Coatbridge Chancellor]

No
Edit: if others wish to do so it's absolutely fine. I'll never tell anyone who they should support or follow. But I'll never want England to win.

 

[Mr_Miscellaneous]

As an Englishman, reading this has thread has been enjoyable.

 

[Drumchapel-Bear]

That southgate/atomic kitten song is fucking tragic.

We have our own version for Gerrard

 

[Marstonbear]

Decent game to be fair

 

[millar2318]

Not really

You're at the wind up surley not

 

[UnionCruiser72]

Couldn’t care less about the English national team.

Doesn’t stop me from being proud of being in a Union with them and having friends/ family from that country.

I know many English who hate Scotland football wise but are more than proud to be British. It’s a tribal thing nothing wrong with it.

 

[albionrose]

Sweet.

As above, enjoyable thread.

 

[Gallant_Few]

Bastard!!!

Just got in house 5 mins ago and checked the fixture list to see what time England game was on at, didn't realise it had already finished!!! Was looking forward to watching that game aswell. Oh well good to see they got the win needed to win the group. Well done England.

 

[final_straws]

That fucking guy should have his trumpet shoved up his arse.

A fucking atomic kitten song ffs

Hoping for another Croatian goal.

The atomic kitten song is up there with Don't Take Me Home.

Dreadful

 

[Drumchapel-Bear]

You're at the wind up surley not

Seen videos of Bears singing it on twitter European trips. Thankfully it's not mainstream yet

But we didnt have any of our players on the pitch or bench today

 

[RFC97]

Harry Kane is the man

 

[bobally]

As I said I was supporting Croatia anyway.

 

[alfiemorelos]

Yeah but you live in croatia. Im sure most of our fans rooting for croatia do not live in croatia however.

 

[Crouchy]

Enjoyed the last 15 minutes. Proper football. Like amateurs, just end to end.

A massive improvements on friendlies.

 

[Zizou]

How?they deserved to win
