I think we just ran out of steam a little at the end. It’s been a joy to discover music I never even new existed. A massive thanks also to Tom for organising the tournament which has been and continues to be magnificent. Cheers ITF.

This is a much scrappier but hard-fought game, and Croatia have plenty of opportunities but seem unable to ever convert their momentum into a goal. In the end England’s solid defense is the platform for them to use quick transitions to score a couple on counterattacks, getting them the win.

England are looking like a dark horse gaining speed.

Unfortunately for Croatia their player is more interested in blowing their own trumpet and setting off smoke bombs to the distraction of his own team mates. England’s performance would have trumped Croatia anyway but faced with this they absolutely ace it

The indie tactic has had mixed fortunes in this tournament so far, and Croatia’s rockier, beefier approach look to intimidate the English, especially when a flare is ignited near the end. But England are having none of it, and quite literally lay their cards on the table, giving all they have to secure a win for the fans back home. One for the indie connoisseurs.

It’s an effective, muscular performance, but they are undone by England’s (card) trickery and guile. And is that Ben Wishaw playing a blinder as a false Number 9?

On to the semis and the inevitable defeat on penalties? Maybe not this time.
