From The BBC:

England have scored nine goals from set pieces at the 2018 World Cup - the most by any team in a single World Cup tournament since 1966.

England scores on another set piece!!! Lots of talk Southgate bringing in some Yanks to apply analytics and they discovered practicing for set pieces are under-emphasized.

Remember, this is the same England that lost to Iceland in the Euro tournament.

Just goes to show how quickly things can turn around.

LOL, on BBC they pointed out that Pep Guardiola was coaching in Barcelona in 2010, Spain wins the World Cup. Pep was coaching in Munich in 2014, Germany wins the Cup. Now Pep is coaching at Manchester City.

It’s Coming Home!

They may get in the second half.

Croatia has been frustrated by the English defense. If they don’t find a way to break it, they’ll have to settle for the consolation game with Belgium.

The stakes are high.

Modric hasn’t had a lot of touches, he’s got to get into the game.

If the result holds, England will be in on a free kick.

Not too good at reading between the lines huh?

... Belgium and France were easily the two best teams left. Hence yesterday’s final.
