Tak Lolos Ke Babak Final Piala Dunia 2018, Inggris Kembali Berduka
Ambisi Inggris untuk tampil di babak final Piala Dunia lagi-lagi harus tertunda hingga empat tahun ke depan usai gol yang dicetak Mario Mandzukic di babak perpanjangan waktu justru membawa sejarah baru bagi tim Kroasia.
Penggemar Three Lions di seluruh dunia kembali berduka usai tim kesayangannya lagi-lagi harus tersingkir di babak semi final ajang sepak bola paling bergengsi tersebut.
Kekalahan ini membuat tim asuhan Gareth Southgate gagal membuktikan bahwa tim Inggris saat ini jauh lebih baik dibandingkan masa kepemimpinan Sir Bobby Robson tahun 1990 silam.
Meskipun kalah, setidaknya Three Lions terhindar dari kecemasan andaikata skor imbang dan pertandingan harus diakhiri dengan cara adu penalty,
Kabarnya, kekalahan di babak adu penalti itu jauh lebih menyakitkan! Pasalnya, banyak orang yang akan mengingat momen tersebut, membuat luka kekalahan semakin sulit dilupakan.
Tak hanya dirasakan para pemain Three Lions, kekecewaan ini juga dirasakan penggemar Inggris di seluruh dunia. Kendati demikian, melalui akun media sosial, banyak dari mereka justru mengungkapkan rasa bangganya melihat perjuangan Harry Kane dan kawan-kawan.
Well, pada akhirnya waktu lah yang bisa menyembuhkan kekecewaan Three Lions yang hampir saja mengukir sejarah namun terpaksa harus terhenti langkahnya.
Utterly choked, but this young side gave absolutely everything. It’s a huge step forward and they’ll only get better in the future. They can hold their heads high, they did our country proud. Congratulations to Croatia.

The fans who were crying on this train are now bravely patting each other’s hands and listing various people who aren’t to blame. ‘Don’t blame Harry. Don’t blame Gareth. It’s nobody’s fault’. I swear, I don’t care much about football but this *does* make me proud of us. #ENGCRO

What started out as a joke and a bit of fun due to a complete lack of faith in our national team turned into a something special.

The #ItsComingHome movement and this England team's World Cup performance has been THE sports story of the year for me. So damn proud.

During the Croatian celebrations Rakitic crashed into the cameraman & apologised & made sure he was fine! The cameraman certainly saw the funny side ???? #ENGCRO pic.twitter.com/lYoTOlcXTs

A heartbreaking way to go out but won't forget what a great tournament it's been for @England.@GarethSouthgate and his team have brought the country together and delivered our best World Cup result since 1990.

They should be extremely proud. We certainly are. #ENGCRO #WorldCup
