Two outlets, one quote, nothing underneath

Luka Modric called Croatia's loss to England a 'catastrophic night' and said he was 'ashamed' of the performance. Both outlets in this story ran the same sentence. Not the same angle — the same sentence. There is no framing analysis to do here because there is no framing: this is a wire quote republished twice.

What happened

Croatia lost to England in a match Modric, the Croatian captain, described as a 'catastrophic night.' Speaking after the game, Modric said he was 'ashamed' of his side's performance. No scoreline, no match date, no venue, and no further context appeared in the two excerpts available. Both BBC Sport and Yahoo Sports published what appears to be the same wire-service paragraph verbatim. That is the full extent of the available reporting. Two outlets have it, and they have exactly the same thing.
