If you watched the replay, he (Sterling, I'm presuming) wasn't offside when the ball was kicked, he ran from an onside position. He may have been in an offside position when he received it, but that is irrelevant.

Unless those Croats continue to play so physically aggressively and dirty ...
Does the game change at the semi-final stage ? NOI don't recall extra time in their earlier game where it went to a penalty shoot-out. There was extra time, perhaps you had a nap
What would have happened if England had drawn after extra time ? Penalty shoot-out? yes Then if the shoot-out was a draw, what then ? Toss of a coin ? Another penalty shoot-out ? 5 pens each, then if still a draw they keep going until one side misses and the next scores All very gladiatorial.
