Turned out to be a big game at Wembley this afternoon as Croatia beat Spain mid-week and set up a decider for a semi-final place in Portugal next Summer in the Finals of the Nations League.
Unprecedented queues outside Wembley as either additional bag checks or the move from bar codes to QR codes on self printed tickets slowed everyone getting in. Certainly many thousands missed the first 15 minutes – us included.
Once again this young 3 Lions team just looked more lively than we’ve witnessed for years and despite going one down goals from sub Jessie Lingard and Captain Kane saw a fight back in the last 15 minutes.
This was the first-ever time in 601 competitive internationals that they have won a game (in 90 minutes) when trailing with 15 minutes to go – what a stat!
Roll on a trip to Portugal next June….
