Did anyone else (who is rooting for Croatia) also not celebrate their 2nd goal as it happened? I was worried it would be called offside so I didn't get the full enjoyment out of it like I did on the 1st firecracker of a goal.

I have it muted bc I'm working still. I was thought they might take a second look for sure though

They absolutely are. Jordan vs Austria last night was loud as hell. Both fanbases were singing and cheering loudly the entire match.
Imagine what louder, bigger fanbases are like. I'd like to know FOX's reasoning.
Croatian ultras are definitely getting loud in here

Goal at +5, ball reset at center spot and he blows it for HT before the kickoff.
Add that to the list of weird stuff you never see.
I almost always officiated with that little bit of grace at the end of a period, "oh, I'll let them have one more pressure on goal before I blow the whistle." 999 times out of 1000, nothing happened.
One time, though. Two lower quartile teams, and the kid takes a big kick at it from distance. Just beats the keeper into the upper corner. Thus ended the first half. And it held, and the game would go on to end 1-0.

I thought his shoulder was ahead on the review but I'm sure their semi automatic offside tech cleared it (probably via someone's foot)
Yep, toe from the defender was just ahead of the shoulder

The + 5 was short to start with IMHO. It took more than 4 minutes from pointing at the spot for the PK until the KO. Plus the hydration break plus 2 other goals in regulation. And for all that they give +5. Then to end it with the ball at the center spot? It was all strangely done. I if you are going to call HT after the goal (and mandatory VAR check ) just do that.
That was fast. Great move

England ate their orange slices at half I guess

Announcers were commenting earlier that it was abnormally quiet in the stadium. Not sure if they lowering or not.
It's cowgirl stadium, not a lot of cheering goes on in that place to began with.
My gummy-bear died. My unicorn ran away. My imaginary friend got kidnapped. The voices in my head wont talk to me.
I've got a red bull. So I got that going for me.

Really feeling inevitable that England grabs another one
Wow. How did England not score there?
All over them now
Keeper trying to keep them in this, that Croatia defense is pretty poor
Is this going to be like the USA vs Belgium match when Tim Howard had 20 saves?
Croatia going into damage limitation mode

There were 4-5 great saves in the course of about 45 seconds. Lordy
Croatia has zero chance to do anything this tournament with a defense this toothless. How is that even possible to be so poor?

Modric been fairly invisible. Brit defense hasn't been good either but they've swallowed him up everytime he's been on the ball
England playing 5 atb?

It helps that he got subbed out

England are so good

They are. And I like most of them a lot.YNWA.2013 said:

But I think I dislike Tuchel and Pickford so much I simply can't openly root for them.

Like the France game, tale of 2 halves. England played the 2nd like they should have. Thought they were lethargic and playing on their back heels most of the first half .

Not sure what he did to lose favor (favour?), but when he was first coming up, he was pretty dang good.
