    A free-kick is the best bet of scoring because they haven't created anything from open play in a long time.

  3. Croatia 2-1 England

    Rashford's ball is is nodded away. Should be a corner but the referee gives a goal kick.

    Kath, Essex: It was good while it lasted. Bad luck boys, at least you tried.

    Nigel: We don't have a Modric to control midfield unfortunately.

    Ranbir in Derby: Croatia 4 million population; England 58 million population. Why do small nations always beat England in completion football?

    It's not over yet.

  7. Croatia 2-1 England

    Kieran Trippier is now down and out. He won't be able to carry on surely?

  9. Croatia 2-1 England

    There's still time for someone to become a hero. Luka Modric must be a contender for the golden ball, he's been absolutely brilliant again tonight.

    Croatia come forward and win another corner. Mario Mandzukic needs to come off and he does, on comes former Spurs man Vedran Corluka.

    Sam: Shades of v Portugal 2004 when we scored after 3 mins and tried to defend all the way to penalties

    Noel: Walker ball watching again...His frailties in this tournament have been masked by England's results!

    Josh: Right lads, just go for it. You've got nothing to lose now. all out attack!

  14. SUBSTITUTION

    Croatia 2-1 England

    So near, so far, so many times. I'm writing Baddiel and Skinner's next hti here. Here's a change though, Kyle Walker comes off and Jamie Vardy is on.

  15. 'Quick as a flash'

    Martin Keown
    Former England defender

    Mario Mandzukic just steals a march on John Stones and quick as a flash he is onto it. He is not going to miss from there. A quality finish from Croatia's leading marksman. You switch off for a moment and you get punished.

  16. 'Mandzukic is the only one that reacts'

    Croatia 2-1 England

    Chris Waddle
    Ex-England winger on BBC Radio 5 live

    England just switch off and they are picked off. Tired minds and tired legs. As the ball comes back in there is only one player that reacts, and that is Mario Mandzukic.

  17. Croatia 2-1 England

    England have shipped two soft goals and they are now 10 minutes away from heartache again in a World Cup semi-final.

    Can they possibly react?

  18. goal

    GOAL - Croatia 2-1 England

    Mario Mandzukic

    Is that curtains?!

    England have not got going since the restart, Kyle Walker half clears the ball, it's headed back in, John Stones doesn't react and Mario Mandzukic does, latching on to it and firing in left-footed from about six yards out.

    Not even Jordan Pickford could save that one...
