ok so it was an improvement,spoilt it them goin down to ten men cause we didnt really have much of a test after that,nice to get the goal difference up

**Izz** · 10-09-2008, 10:22 PM

The game got dirtier after the first goal. It was gonna happen sooner or later.

4-1 away against a strong side that just did well in a major tournament is what i'd call a quality win.

that red card demoralised our team totally
if there wasnt for blood, referee wouldnt probably give even a yellow one... later as he probably realised his mistake, he made some decisions in our behalf...

capello did a good job by reading our game though and deserved to win this match...

about fckin time!

The red was a major factor on the score, but lets be honest, up untii we scored they were all over us.

4-1 is a good win, but look at the andorra game and that tells u we are still a long way off

Wes Brown actually looked liked a footballer in parts last night...

Thought England played really well, Croatia are like 5th in the World Rankings or something and we're like 15th or something... Not sure though.

Walcott was superb last night his finishing sublime, Rooney showed flickers of how he use to play, but still seemed to be dropping way to deep in the first half..

Overall a great performance even if it was against 10 men, prior to that i thought we were playing really well anyway and would of gone on to win it anyhow...

to be fair, Rooney's entire reputation (as far as international football is concerned), is based on 2 or 3 games over 4 years ago.
his overall game has come on leaps and bounds since then, but last night was one of the few times we've seen it in an England shirt.
was good to see England make the self serving cunts in the tabloid media eat their words, if nothing else.
you back someone into a corner and you give them no option but to come out swinging.

I have to say the touch to put walcott through for this third was amazing..

I reckon hes more overweight than normal pie man and could do with shedding a few pounds...

impressive win i must say. im englands biggest critic and only watched so i could have a laugh at us getting ****ed as usul. i thought we passed it really well,thats how it shoudl be,loads of little passes. i also thought heskey was quality, held it up really well.

England played some good football last night, shame the lampard goal was disallowed, was a well worked goal.

fair play to Theo 3 great strikes, thought Rooney done a great job too!

all lookin good for the moment!

**lukekendall** · 11-09-2008, 04:05 PM

since we played so well do you think gerrard should be left on the bench for the next one?!?!?

interesting thought?!?!

stevie who??? haha!

well if he were left on the bench, he would be a great sub to bring on later in the game!

**Richierush** · 11-09-2008, 04:29 PM

if gerrard would have been on the pitch we'd have probably done better,i didnt think lampard an barry where in the game much,except for that lampard goal
