Take solace, England supporters. England didn't time waste when they had the lead ;-)
Which is exactly the argument to flop around when you have the lead. Once Croatia started running England probably should have grabbed the old shin bone and medivac the aerosol in.

This is the beauty and the ugliness of the World Cup. A team like England goes on a great, unexpected run yet bows out in the semis and people are disappointed.
England beat two part time teams (Panama and Tunisia) and two average teams Colombia (without James) and Sweden (the international equivalent of mighty Burnley).
If a moderately successful team were ever gifted a run to a world cup final, this was it. And England couldn't even take advantage of this great gift.
True but Croatia is pretty good. But this side of the draw was really soft compared to the other side. Perhaps Belgium should have thrown the game against England.

Because their players are Croatians, they didn't fill their team with African mercenaries like England did.
These players are proud to play for their country.
Born in England, brah.
Lol. You cant be that dumb can you?
For the casuals who don't know, here is Thuram in the France vs Croatia semi in 98. Fails to keep a player offside. Then scores the two goals need for the win 2-1. His only two goals in his France NT career.
It's pretty good that three French defenders have scored in this tournament. It's relatively rare for defenders to score (yes, two were from set pieces).
Thuram's pose after his second goal and Zidane's headers were the iconic moments of 98. If France were to win, so far I would say that Pavard's goal would be the iconic moment.
Croatia will be motivated, but it's hard to see them winning after what the two teams have done so far.
If you have the means, go to France for the final. If they win, the squares of the big cities will be full of people going crazy. Nothing like it.

You can't be dumb enough to believe that a bunch of British-born descendants of the wind rush Jamaicans are "African mercenaries"? Oh, wait, you are that dumb.
Trying to contain myself but I'm ECSTATIC! Never been happier to see a team lose, what with all that tiresome "It's coming home" stuff they've been the've been foisting on the entire world? Torture!
Croatia (population 4.2 million) were technically superior in every way and thoroughly deserved to get to the final. England (not even a real country) had the kind of draw that they would've chosen themselves if given a chance to fix it. They got to the final beating such giants as Panama, Tunisia and Sweden but crumbled on the two occasions they met good teams in the Belgians and the Croats.
Change the song lyrics to "52 years of hurt" (and counting), disband England and start playing as the UK because you'll need the likes of Gareth Bale to have a realistic chance against any half decent team. As for the irritating haters on this site who've been trying to annoy me by accusing me of being a secret Brit, here's what I really feel: Tediously boring England should enjoy the meaningless third place playoff, otherwise, good riddance!

We're good at what we do, thanks. But it's been wonderful to watch you lot fall back to earth with a thud.

I'm not English champ, but thanks for playing.
What is it you do, win by cheating and evade the authorities? Good for Kenya.
I tell you what, I'm disappointed with the World Juniors though, although the age cheating is impressive, I'm not sure you're the best anymore.

Given you've never been to France or Iraq, how are you qualified to decide where you'd feel safer?
