SOUND THE MICHAEL CARRICK CLAXON! It's taken a month but there it is!

Luke: While I’m sure England would have taken the semi-finals before the World Cup, the hype amongst fans and media will have made anything less than winning the whole thing a disappointment

Matt, Solihull: I can’t help but wonder how much a player like Carrick would’ve helped this team tonight. If only he was a couple years younger. If we can regain our composure I back us to get through.

England have had two efforts on target in 100 minutes - one found the net and the other was headed off the line!

Croatia dominated the last few minutes of normal time (see the graph above) but England have bossed this first period of extra time.

Harry Maguire goes upfield, Sammer-esque, and England are on top again, I stress the point. They have still only had two efforts on target all night though.

Kieran: Proud of the England team, no matter what, legends will be coming home

Bob: Croatia playing for penalties

Vince: If you don't realise how good this England Team is you should be in bed!

No one is going to bed just yet Vince...

Danny Rose blocks with his face and then a sign that even the greats get tired, Luka Modric runs out of steam and just misses the ball altogether.

Striker's tackle from Marcus Rashford, free-kick for Croatia wide right. Croatia send on former Leicester man Andrej Kramaric.

Vrsalkjo drops back onto the line and anticipates the header. It's a great clearance as Stones thinks he has scored. It's so much better from England though and they've started extra time as the better team.

It was a free header for John Stones. It was going inside the post and it's a good way to score when you're tired. England have had a good first period of extra time.

Dare I say England are the stronger side? They are the only ones carrying a threat at the moment.

England on top and almost ahead! John Stones this time wins the header, he's totally free in fact and Sime Vrsaljko heads it off the line!

Stones could not have done more. That was drifting in...

Danny Rose with fresh legs eats up some turf, into the area, out to Eric Dier, shot blocked CORNER

Eric Dier, shootout king, is on for England in place of Jordan Henderson.

Kieran Trippier over the free-kick. He's about 45 yards out but might as well... Harry Maguire gives away a foul.

Ashley Young has had his left ankle strapped very tightly and he has got ice on it, after coming off. It looks like it wasn't a tactical change and Ashley Young has actually taken a knock.

Chris, Plymouth: The reaction from some so-called fans is the reason why we can't have nice things in this country.

Helen, London: For those of us who can't remember/weren't alive the last time wondering how England would finish a semi final was even an issue, even this pain is something good

Gary, Portstewart: Players need to show for the ball in space when in possession and remember that they don’t have to kick it immediately when receiving it they can MOVE with the ball. Keep calm and carry it forward...

Extra time is so often a non event but there were two goals during the additional minutes in Croatia's last game. Danny Rose is fouled and Ante Rebic - who we thought was booked early on - is now booked.
