They are in the final! What a story for this golden generation!<br /> <br /> England are down to ten men after Kieran Trippier has been carried off with Gareth Southgate having used all his substitutes.<br /> <br /> England were the better team of the first period of extra time but Croatia take the lead! Mario Mandzukic scoring great goal from insidethe box!<br /> <br /> Luka Modric is everywhere. Another stunning game from Croatia's talisman so far. Vatreni played much better in the second half of normal time. How much energy do they have left after their two prior 120-minute knockout round matches?<br /> <br /> <b>Can Kane do it?</b><br /> Harry Kane hasn't been able to find his scoring touch so far today, heading wide in stoppage time.<br /> This is the ninth semi-final to go to extra-time.
