The final score line of 3-2 was a tad deceiving, 4-1 would have summed up the performance by the England players. 10 mediocre players and Peter Crouch. It was a lucky penalty to get. Crouch’s goal was a brilliant move and excellently finished. The goals England conceded were a bit soft (Carson had a terrible game), but that’s not to say Croatia weren’t dangerous. On the contrary, they always looked the more likely side to score, every single time they got into our final third.

If I was the England manager I would chop the arms off any defender who was stood there like a muppet appealing for offside. A pub squad plays better than that.
Yes, the Wembley pitch looked terrible. A massive disappointment, yet somehow I think Croatia would have played even better than England if the pitch had been up to standard.
