overconfidence at its best. Planning on winning a tournament 5 years in advance, and not even qualifying to it

Great find

"Chris Kirkland, 21 now, will be the world's finest goalkeeper by 2008"




"England will have so much talent up front it will be embarrassing, and other teams may concede games before kick-off to avoid the humiliation on the pitch."

Here we go again; "Michael Owen has stated that no Croatian player would be able to play for the almighty English NT". The neverending English arrogance..

Very dumb statement. At least we play like a team. The truth is however that England would be a lot more dangerous with him and Rooney on the pitch.

No English goalkeeper would make it into the Croatian NT has a lot more truth in it.

Of course they would but that's beside the point, players get injured and you deal with it. Croatia was the better team and that's the bottom line, throwing insults like these after such a humilation is idiotic and unfounded.

how good is this rematches are going to be a joy to watch both times.

This is nice. A little from our perspective but still shows how England was clueless on the pitch, especially in the last 10 minutes.

Why England lost.

 

[Alfio_87]

i have seen that being done many times by even our own side Juve when teams are down you loose the plot and ideas its a sad fact.

 

[V]

Yeah but England did it pretty much through the whole match. That's even sadder.

England invented the direct long ball play. They dont try to play football but Croatia do, kudos to them far more improved side from the team in the world cup.

True, we really did step up a notch, more than a few, after the WC. Our coach really did some amazing stuff.

They're actually very similar, both are good, strong defenders with exceptional technique(for a defender). However they are very unreliable and are prone to many blunders.

Still, Joey is the man.
