England - Croatia 2 : 3

God damn you!!! You could have let us win!!! Nah, just kidding. That third goal of yours was pretty amazing. The other two, well, let's just say I hope it is the last we see of Carson (our goalie) and McLaren (manager). The first half of the game we played the worst I have ever seen! I am surprised you didn't score more! But congratulations on winning your group! It's a shame we won't get to play against you again next year

It's indeed a shame i won't have the chance now to bet with you another victory for Portugal against England at the European

But it's sad to see England is out. To be honest i didn't expect a different end with McLaren as the manager.

Good luck to you Drastija

England have now lost out on their seeding.

I remember when we beat Croatia in 2004 (4-2) how lousy we were then.........things have not changed much for us in the last 15 years or so. Classified as the "fringe" nation whose worst enemy is themselves.
We cannot play European soccer, we will never be able to..............so why do managers of the England squad always wanna go down that road........
Kevin Keegan was the only manager in all that time who practiced the English game..............Move the ball forward as fast as you can...........attack, attack, attack.......leak the goals but, always score one more than the opposition. He was condemned for that approach by both the FA and fans alike.
However, most fans and pundits have very short footballing memories (when it suits em) because Keegans approach to football coaching was the same as the way he played................"there is only one way to run and that is at the oppositions goal".................exactly the same approach as Sir Alf Ramsey....do you guys remember what he achieved?

I have played football and followed football all of my life............but, I have never seen such a shambles in both management and players as I did last night.
Whoever told Lampard, Barry, Scott, Lescott, Defoe, Wright-Phillips, Cole and Bent that they are International Standard wants their heads examined.
The fact is that we as a footballing nation are unable to field a full-international at any one time just shows how much the English game has declined.
But, the real pity of it all..............is those that do get their chance show absolutely no passion or desire to run and attack the ball as if it was the last thing they would ever do on this Earth!

Ah! well we (the supporters) can all look on in wonder and contentment as the back four continue to merrily pass the ball to each other across the back of the park ................ after all we do we expect for our £50 tickets.......Goals!
