2 shots on target for England from 7 shots. Trippier's goal and Stone's header cleared off the line? Kane's shot that the Goalie saved also? Still 3 shots on target including the goal. Still over 120 mins it wasn't good enough to win a semi of a WC. Croatia weren't massively better than us, although the stats show they were, but still better than us they were and took their chances when it mattered.
I think once the whole disappointment has been gotten over this tournament has been a resounding success for Southgate and the team. Massive leap forward from the dark days under Capello and Hodgeson, when the team could barely string a pass together. Hopefully build on it and with the next Euros having games at Wembley Home advantage could take us that next step.
