    There was a fair helping of stress against Croatia, the 11th best team in the world and the highest ranked pot two nation in the tournament – especially in the first half. It was down to defending that was simply too open and generous. A see-saw opening 45 minutes ended 2-2, Harry Kane scoring England’s goals, the first from a retaken penalty. Martin Baturina and Petar Musa replied for Croatia. England were powerful on corners. The overall sense in open play was confusion.
