Manchester United legend felt England did not deserve to win as they suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat at the Luzhniki - but former Labour leader Ed Miliband was among those that weren't happy with the Irishman
A VERY orange looking Roy Keane gave England a brutal reality check after their semi-final defeat to Croatia.
And Three Lions fans did not like it one bit.
The Manchester United legend felt England did not deserve to win as they suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat at the Luzhniki in Moscow.
Keane, who was earlier mocked on social media for his sun tan, said: "Croatia seemed to get stronger as the game went on.
"They were more street-wise, showed more composure. England gave two sloppy goals away and maybe the inexperience came into it.
"England players have shown a lot of class. You have to take your medicine but you have to give credit to Croatia – they were like warriors.
"This game can kick you where it hurts and you all have to suffer.
"The hardest step is reaching the final. They’ll be kicking themselves. It was just a step too far. Harry Kane just looked a bit sluggish tonight.
"A lot of these players hadn’t won a trophy and it’s highly unlikely your first is going to be the World Cup.
"John Stones is ball-watching and then he’s looking at people as if you’ve got to give me a shout. It’s a World Cup semi-final. We’ve seen him do it for Manchester City."
Fans tweeted...
Keane was famously sent home from Ireland's World Cup camp in 2002 after falling out with manager Mick McCarthy.
He had a public row with the Irish boss over the standard of the team's training facilities.
Hard-to-please Keane changed his mind at one point but later left the squad.
And he clearly felt England's side were not up to scratch in terms of the quality needed to become world champions.
Later in the show Keane had a lighthearted spat with Ian Wright over England fans getting carried away and talking about open-top bus parades before the team had reached the final.
Speaking after the defeat, Keane said: "Everyone was talking about the final, about football coming home."
In the must-see clip, Wright interrupts: "What you talking about. We wasn't talking about the final, we were having a laugh.
"We were happy. You weren't happy for us being final."
Keane then hits back: "I don't mind you being happy, but you were getting carried away.
"You were getting carried away, planning the final, where the parades were."
Wright: "No we weren't! Why shouldn't we be excited!"
The two then continue to argue and talk over each other, with Keane eventually saying: "You're a grown man, you know how hard it is to get to a final."
With former England stars Gary Neville and Lee Dixon laughing in the background, Wright eventually starts mocking Keane in an Irish accent.
Keane then gives Wright a death-stare and says: "You know what I'm talking about."
To which the former Arsenal hit back: "He's gonna cave me in a minute."
It wasn't just Wrighty mocking Keane, with fans on Twitter quick to point out his very orange tan.
People speculated he'd been sold some dodgy fake tan, with one wag comparing him to an oompa loompa.
The Three Lions had their fans believing they could reach a first final since 1966 when Kieran Trippier put them ahead.
But Croatia hit back through Ivan Perisic and won it in extra-time through Mario Mandzukic.
Fellow ITV pundit Gary Neville said: "This team have taken us to a place we never thought we imagined we would get. We have overachieved and they can be absolutely proud. All I hope is that they get another opportunity.
"I hope those young lads are stood in that position again, 20 minutes to go to get into a final. They’ve brought everyone with them.
"There was no connection with the team, people looked on in despair. But everyone has absolutely loved the last three-and-a-half weeks and they can be proud of that. I hope, they have to put themselves in that situation again. Gareth has been fantastic.
"He knows, he was there in Euro 96. He will be thinking that we have to make sure we are there again.
"We looked tired and they got stronger. They’ve played 120 minutes twice. Sometimes the whole weight of the period and the messages back home can fatigue.
"Rather than a 3-5-2, we became a 5-3-2. The wing backs narrowed and it became difficult."
