We lost because we were not good enough.....simple as that.
We were beaten by a team that was both physically and mentally superior men against boys.
We had a great start and as has been commented on below we failed to score when we had a bundle of chances all missed. Even the hard working Harry Maguire missed a good chance.
We had a lot of better players than Croatia but we did not use them correctly.
Steve is right when he says that we fold if the opposition fold.
I also believe we were over confident and underestimated the Croatia team.
There is hopes of improvement because we were a very young side and there is time for development.
