England scored an early goal and lead for a large part of the match so it was just as important for them to defend their lead as it was to create more goal scoring opportunities. However, other match statistics also put Croatia in front  and they were the better side over the 120 mins.I thought England were a bit too reliant on long balls to create chances whereas Croatia's approach was to complete more accurate passes to create their chances and that was the main difference between the teams and ultimately the difference  between winning and losing.</blockquote>
