Once upon a time Lineker said: "Football is a game where 22 men play but Germany wins". 

Fortunately, it`s just a myth but football karma is not on English side. England- the land where football was created; not in China- that was only first game with the ball but the football we know is created and developed in England. The country which established it always loses. Almost. Memorable 1966 is still on minds of English fans and they are still waiting until it`s coming home. It was almost at home. 

I know one Croatian folk fairy where fox caught a rabbit. The rabbit begged : " Don`t throw me in thorn spike". ENGLAND, DON`T GIVE THE POSSESSION TO CROATIOANS. But they did it. Of course, when they have Stones, Walker, Maguire in defensive line it is more then possible to wait until the final whistle. More then possible if it is Panama or Russia without Dzuba. They were punished twice. Foorball was on Croatian side, definitely.
