Three England players, including Manchester United stars Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard, were so desperate to score a leveller after Croatia took the lead in the extra time that they attempted to pull off the same trick that Panama tried against them in the group stage. While all Croatian players celebrated the goal scored by Mario Mandzukic on minutes 109, three of England's young guns chose to kick-off and attack Danijel Subasic with no opposition. While the cunning trick performed by Panama players could be explained by lack of experience, the embarrassing attempt from English players, representing the best Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, was a mere lack of class and sportsmanship.

They made it all the way to Croatia goal before Cuneyt Cakir stopped them and ordered to listen to his whistle.
