UEFA Nations League: 5 things we learnt from Croatia vs England

#3 A game with no crowd is very, very strange!

The empty stadium played its own role in the 0-0 draw

We all knew that not having a crowd had the potential to influence the feel of the game but I don't think we quite knew to what extent. The flat, dull and quiet atmosphere appeared to mimic the football and it never felt like anything more than a training match.

Luckily these "ghost" games are few and far between and hopefully, we won't encounter them much in the future. The positive for this, from an England perspective, was that home advantage didn't count for Croatia. Therefore, it can be argued that they should have shown more ambition to get forward and attack Croatia.

Spain showed that this team has the potential to drop their heads after going behind a couple of goals and it would have been great to attack from the off.
