First 20 mins we looked like potential winners of the competition but not many highlights after that, solid at back against a poor Croatia side who hold no fears for Scotland, Sterling exiting and frustrating at the same time, a win's a win and should give England confidence going forward.

Not sure. I just think Rashford is overrated. Grealish can bring us up the pitch and win free kicks. I think they are just managing Grealish’s fitness and rightly so. Getting through today without needing him is a bonus imo.

don't think Sterling was very impressed with being asked if he justified his place!

Not the best performance but as a hater of cliches you could say:
“The best teams win without playing well” “Tournament football is all about evolving through the stages” “Topper is a WUM”

Lost my voice a bit I must admit, but it was SO good to be back at football

Was anybody else shocked by the stat that we had never won our first game of a euros? I was amazed at that not going to lie.
It's not how you start it's how you finish. I'm not going to make too many judgements on these early games.

I'm not going to make too many judgements on these early games. Its not really surprising when you consider up to and including 92 it was an 8 team tournament (possibly different before my life time).... Plus, apart from 96 we've been terrible in this competition....

Southgate saying how underrated Trippier is and excellent communicator GassyHe played well today, can’t really comment on communication but he was solid at the back. Have to say Mings was bear faultless, really surprised by that. I do think though, that Trippier being right footed on the left slowed us down in attack too much, and lead us to playing back to Mings/Stones/Pickford, when we could have moved forward. But credit where it’s due.

After looking at the lineup with Trippier out of position, Mings at the back , Sterling Starting and Philips & Rice in midfield….. you can only imagine the vitriol being lined up for Southgate had we not won . Well done Gareth 👏

Can't believe the commentator just said that keeping the roof open could be a mistake by uefa because it might rain....
What an absolutely ridiculous thing to say....
