Morning all. 
Great to be back at Wembley for the footy. Nice and easy to get in, had our covid Vaccination/lateral flow test to show first. Then they activate the mobile ticket. took less than a minute all in all.
22.5K in the ground, with possibly a couple of hundred from Croatia. Considering it was only a quarter full the crowd made some decent noise. National anthem was belted out. We did our best to drown out those that don't agree with the taking of the knee and when the goal went in it felt like Wembley was full.
The match itself, we were well on top for the first 20minutes and had Foden's shot gone in off the post rather than back out then we would've seen a totally different game. We couldn't possibly keep that pace up in the stifling heat of Wembley
My observations from the game.
Pickford- Kicking was awful, seems to be concentration on putting so much spin on the ball at the expense of accuracy
Walker-Solid at the back, rubbish going forward.
Stones and Mings- did ok.
Phillips- Probably deserved his MOTM award. broke play up well and created the goal.
Sterling- The crowd had just about given up on him and were chanting for Grealish when Stirling popped up with the winner.
3points in the bag, bring on our friends from North of the Border on Friday when I'm sure the atmosphere will be even better
