Rooney & Palmer rate Croatia highly

We played three games in Group B  and missed tons of chances.

Amazingly, Roy Hodgson allowed the press to watch a 20-minute shooting drill yesterday.

The lads only scored 9 times from 47 attempts.

Kane, Vardy & Wilshere got two goals each, Sturridge, Sterling and Dele Alli one each .

This is why England only scored three goals in three 90+minute matches!

And two of those were against Wales. Our only goal against Russia was from a direct free-kick by Eric Dier.

Slovakia was a 0-0 draw that you’ve deleted from your memory by now.

We couldn’t score in open play against Russia or Slovakia.That kind of dismal finishing makes Roy worry about his job.

Skipper Wayne Rooney talked about penalties and mind-games in a penalty shoot-out against Buffon four years ago. He scored but it was a really had day for the Ashleys : Young hit the post and Cole’s feeble shot was comfortable saved.

Asked about the best team he’d seen so far, Rooney named Croatia.

Modric, Perisic and co are in the other side of the draw.

I’m convinced Croatia will beat Portugal because of the way they defeated Spain.
