This group of players are wiping tears out of their eyes but the fans know that this team have started something special. They've given everything. But there's a mutual respect now between fans and players. On the day, the intelligent football of Croatia has got them over the line.

Coming into the game we said the World Cup starts here for England. In the first half they looked at home and were good value for their lead.
But early in the second half, the legs went, and credit to Croatia they came back into it and they had too much experience. Luka Modric was different class.

Joe McL: Whatever you think, think back four weeks and be proud. Well played lads.
Bill:Very much deserved. Croatia the much better team throughout, very well done to England for getting this far but they've been very poor today and don't deserve to go through. Would be demolished by France if they played this way in the final. Best of luck to Croatia.
