Read our privacy policy Even if tonight ended up like England’s last semi-final, the agony in the Luzhniki almost one year ago, the story was very different. So it was perfectly fitting with this clumsy sloppy game how England finally gifted it away in extra time’s second half. Stones and Ross Barkley trying to play out from the back, Barkley put in a difficult position, getting it wrong, Memphis Depay taking advantage and Quincy Promes killing the game.
