What a whopper. @stevescott_itv ladies and gentlemen. Stultifying arrogance and astonishing lack of respect. Totally dismissive of an excellent Croatia side who haven’t lost a game at this #worldcup and lest we forget beat Argentina 3-0. They’ll never learn. pic.twitter.com/aWGmvgiP6D
National media bigging own country up shocker! Every country does it - it's just because we get the English media that we hear it.
Josko Jelicic, Croatia’s self-styled answer to Gary Lineker, added: “They [England] have nothing to cry about — they were knocked out by the future world champions. We played a mature game, the English were unbelievably inferior.”
The Vecernji list newspaper went with the headline “We knocked the English down, Croatia are in the World Cup final!” with Zeljko Jankovic writing how Croatia and France will now decide “who plays the best football on the planet at the moment”. It turned out to be rhetorical as he answered it himself by adding: “It’s Croatia, don’t even doubt that!”

Luka Modric speaks on English media after Croatia put the English to the sword. on 21:08 - Jul 12 with 2027 views
Was it a surprise to anyone that England lost to Croatia?
Let's be honest - Croatia had Modric (who is truly world class) and Rakitic controlling midfield and England had ..... Henderson!!!
I hope England will at some point realise that they qualified from a pretty easy group (in second place and only really beat Panama well) and fell into the easier half of the draw with Germany and Spain gone. Despite an improvement in their style of play, they still can't (because they don't have the players) control the midfield against the better teams. On top of that Kane was really poor in the later games.
The problem England have now is that in the next tournament they'll be expected to do well. And that hasn't done them any good in the past. This was their big chance.

3 particular examples from Euro 2016 stick in my mind.
1. After France had won the R16, match an interviewer asked Patrice Evra about playing England in QF. Evra had to correct him and say don't underestimate Iceland.
2. Half time with England 2-1 down. Mark poutgarch asks the ITV panel, " does Roy hodgson drop Joe Hart for the QF?"
3. The following day after Andy Murray had won on his Wimbledon match the Itv newscaster said, " good luck Andy, your all we've got left". Obviously forgetting Wales were still in the Euros.

What a man Luka is. A true legend. Good luck in the final.
