England defence still a complete shambles.

Great passing out of defence and a cool finish from Rashford. 4-2.

England not looking secure at all.

Low support option. High support option. Stretch support option. Now that's clear.

The England defence have reverted to fannying around dangerously.

Croatia 'keeper having quite a game.

Two great chances to bury Croatia.

Bellingham misses sitter. So does O'Reilly

Bellingham can score then.

The England defence is a shambles. Two goals from set pieces but poor from open play with Bellingham's Damion Downes moment in front of goal the pick for me. Croatia look dangerous while England are far too ponderous. Shaping up to be a nil point start.

That's offside.

Bellingham falls over and ref buys it. Free kick in Manning territory.

England with too much fannying around in the wrong place. 1-1.

It's an air-conditioned stadium. There's no need for a 3 minute break but those ads have to be inserted somewhere.

Game's becoming a laughing stock.

I was in the pub this afternoon (sorry if you're working) and noticed on the telly that they were actually showing England training sessions. Not only that but there were people behind the fence - and trees! - who were also "spying". What on earth should the punishment be?

Quite some pace in that Canada side. Looked good going forward until it came to actually showing some final third composure and sticking the ball in the net. Looked poor defending set pieces as well.

Canada need someone who can win a header in attack. They've hardly won anything in the air.

Other forwards are available, many of whom can actually stay fit for a season. Move on.

I'd have been shocked to witness that standard of play and refereeing on the local park this Sunday.

At least the ref is enjoying himself.

This is ludicrous. As a world cup opener it's laughable stuff.

Get a grip. A 12 month ban would be ludicrous. M'learned friends would have trebles all round.

It's getting to the stage where there'll be no point playing actual games of football. Get in a decent defence of highly paid lawyers and promotion will be available without even having to kick a ball soon. I have to ask whether standing behind a tree with a camera watching events going on in public view is a better or worse offence than this though.

Good interview. I guess one thing that Dragan has learned is that there's no point trying to cooperate with the suits at the EFL and FA. Just get the lawyers involved and spin it out.
