H Here are some things we knew before the match:
England does not have a solid midfield. In the past, England has resorted to long balls, throwing itself into the ground to pursue them and eventually losing against a patient and cunning opponent.
England is not very good at creating scoring opportunities other than
Kyle Walker is not really a central defender
All this was obvious against Croatia. England made a good old move and had some failures but was eventually beaten by a superior opponent – and there is no shame in that.
What Happened
The common theme at England's friendly matches and their World Cup performances is that they start well in an energetic opening of 30 minutes and then the opposition finds them. Kieran Trippier's free kick was a brilliant technique, but immediately after this opening push, Croatia dominated the match.
