One change to the NI team and that's Washington dropped to the bench. I must admit that doesn't surprise me. He tried hard for the two games he started but was never really in the game despite never running out of steam. Maybe he can be an impact sub

I just watched Portugal have 20% of the game and undeservedly snatch a near last minute winner. Once again the best player in the world failed to show up in a big international match. Perhaps he is a choker when it counts after all? Not the first tournament this has happened with him.

Washington has pace, time/youth and physical presence but has never scored or scared defenders when I've seen him play. Is he our new Mackie?
Do you think he'll come good? ... I'm not sure

I'm not sure I was wondering that myself. He played OK in the first game he started for NI but was unable to make any impact in the last two games. Indeed if you'd told me he hadn't played the last 20 mins of yesterday's game I wouldn't have been any the wiser. Maybe it's his youth (I hope so) or maybe, like Jamie, it's just him

Here are the stats from the BBC which may or may not tell the story of the game. To me the telling stat for a 120 min game is the shots on target PossessionCroatia 59% - 41% Portugal ShotsCroatia 17 - 6 Portugal Shots on targetCroatia 0 - 2 Portugal CornersCroatia 6 - 2 Portugal FoulsCroatia 12 - 28 Portugal
