But a wave of support back home had Gareth Southgate's side dreaming of a first triumph since 1966.
Football's Coming Home was the soundtrack to the summer - and Croatia's players seemed to have noticed it too.

One said: "Will be delightfully bathing in the tears of Modric, Corluka and Co on Sunday evening."
Others saw it differently.
A Twitter user said: "Good man Corluka, tell them it's not coming home."

A fellow user wrote: "That was a great response."
Luka Modric said English journalists and pundits fired his team on by not respecting Croatia enough.
And his midfield colleague Ivan Rakitic blasted the Three Lions for thinking they were already in the final.
