This game is boring the pants off me

A better team would have beat us with those tactics of sitting back at 1-0.Croatia are not the team they used to be.They were recently thrashed 6-0 by Spain.With the talent at his disposal Southgate should have walked that game by 3 or 4 goals.
We will fold the first time we come up against stiffer opposition just as in the 2018 World Cup funnily enough.Even when we had a favourable draw we could not even get to the final.

That is just conjecture because nothing is certain in football.
"...would have beat us........." change it to "may have beaten us" and I will agree, however, if it was an absolute certainlty the bookies would be cleaning up every game.
I do agree about not getting to finals though, the last one being 1966 and not once since then in 26 attempts. I am not expecting anything to change this year.

in football terms it is about as certain as you can get Sub.Has been for the last 55 years.
