GolVolt Recap
England dispatched Croatia 4-2 in a breathless Group L clash at Dallas Stadium. The first half was pure chaos. Harry Kane buried a 12th-minute penalty, but Martin Baturina answered in the 36th. Kane restored the lead six minutes later, only for Petar Musa to drag Croatia level deep into first-half stoppage time. The decisive blow arrived instantly after the break. Jude Bellingham struck in the 47th minute to shatter the Croatian resistance, leaving Marcus Rashford to seal the result with an 85th-minute finish.

No words are big enough right now to overcome this empty feeling in the stomach. We were close, really close to another final but it wasn’t enough. We’ve given everything over these last 7 weeks and to fall short is hard to take! I know the expectations are high and rightly so, we’ve been knocking on the door for 8 years now but again are missing that final piece of the jigsaw! That’s where we have to go away, process it and find a way to get better. I’m so proud of the boys and what we have shown throughout this tournament - some tough games and tough environments that we have overcome. Some memories that will stay with us players and I’m sure you fans for a long long time! Going for glory doesn’t always mean you will get it. You have to fight for it, get knocked down, pick yourself up and go again and that’s what we will do, there’s no other way but to keep believing and keeping pushing. Thank you to every single fan that travelled and showed their support in the stadiums. Thank you to every fan back home for believing in us. Thank you to the boys and staff for everything you have given. As always Win or lose, we learn and go again! 🏴🦁
