That was probably the one biggest mistake Southgate made all through the tournament which proved costly especially on such vital game.
But Rashford also did himself no favours throughout this WC in my opinion. Probably disillusioned cos he was only a sub all the way. Played with only occasional bursts and more often then not, if we watch the whole proceedings on the screen, he was at walking pace.
Of course we must not forget the Croatian fighting spirit all through the WC. Never give up when 1-0 behind, whereas for England, when Croatia equalised, they seems lost and became very disorganised all over
