Peck1961 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Croatia 0-2 England, 60 mins gone. Walcott with both goals, and star of the show, Croatia down to 10 men (Robert Kovacs sent off) for a sickening elbow on Joe Cole! Make that 3-0, Rooney just scored after good work from Jenas.

Peck1961 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 4-1 now, 10 mins to go, Walcott hat-trick, David Beck-who?. Since going 3-0 up, England have been knocking the ball handsome and have just been passing Croatia to death, it's been a pleasure to watch, and I take back any criticism I have levelled at the team in the last couple of months.

Peck1961 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Still 4-1, in injury time. Joe Cole is back on the bench from the dressing room, sporting a huge gash on his forehead (courtesy of Mr Kovacs) All over, England win 4-1. A fine performance, capped by a Theo trio! Croatia came out strong in the first 25-30 mins, but as soon as Theo capitalised on a defensive mistake to make it 1-0, England never looked back. Robert Kovacs sending off early in the 2nd half was a sign of the home side's growing frustration as England control in the game grew and grew. England punished the 10 men endlessly and played some cracking football in the last 30 mins, culminately in a hat-trick for young Theo, get ready for some Theo-mania over the next couple of days in the media!! I was seriously worried about this game, and not for one minute did I see this result (& performance) coming. Fair play to Fabio, he got the tactics spot on, mind you, for £6m a year, he should!!!

Guest The Old Man Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Hey!!!!!....ECPL, PECK1961, GILLO 10, SPORT LOVER....may I remind you of the topic started by ECPL on Aug 21st....you lot all slating the England team and Fabio Capello for the poor showing in friendlies???? Well you were barking up the wrong tree there......as I said back then....judge the manager when England play competitive matches. ....Now I suspect you all slated the 2-0 win over Andorra on Saturday....but Capello saved Ferdinand because he had a slight back strain, only used Joe Cole as a substitute...but made a great call by bringing him on at half-time And totally out-foxed Bilic by letting the Croat assume he would start tonights game with Beckham............He played Theo Walcott and low and behold the young man scored a superbly-taken hat-trick......Now wasn't that absolute genius ?????? You guys must be cringing Or full of false pride???? Capello is as successful a club manager as any manager in the game...including Alex Ferguson. FACT Won the Champions League with different teams and in different countries....just wait till he becomes fluent with his english :smiley20: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what a shambles that we cant even watch the game, not even highlights, unless we have to fork out more cash on top of the tv license and sky subscribtion Oi The Old Man read the post before you pipe up! Yes I slated them and him, deservedly so. And I have congratulated them with this fantastic victory. I am not afraid to voice my opinion I live in the real world and say as I see, thats why I said England were playing shite errr because they were. They played well last night which is excellent. But there is still a long way to go to South Africa and we need to perform CONSISTENTLY well not once every 7 years! Well done the boys, well done Fabio, The Old Man....well you can eat my arse!! Oh and has Fabio won as many domestic titles and cup as Fergie? Dont know his recored that closly but I suspect not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 First I would agree that this was a terrific victory for England over a surprisingly inept Croatia. Was it a stroke of genius to include Walcott or the last throw of the dice? Either way it completely bamboozled Croatia who were so scared of his pace that they had to move another player to keep an eye on him. This meant that the inventive Croatia midfield apart from the odd occasion failed to help out their strikers. England’s midfield couldn’t believe their luck and they actually had a field day. I think the criticism from the press and others was well justified and proved to be right. But credit to the England players and Capello as they most certainly listened and put in a much better performance. Next up is Kazakhstan and yes it is live on ITV. One swallow doesn’t make a summer but it certainly produced some sunshine at last. Secondly I did manage to watch the game through some computer web sites. Not to bad but it did get stuck a few times especially when Walcott scored his first goal. Well done to him for listening to Beckham when he told him before the game be greedy and shoot more. (As said on the FA Web site) It certainly had an effect. I though the funniest channel to watch was CCTV 5. Great if you like your commentary in Chinese. Mind you it beat the constant drivel that we normally hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peppermint Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 We are all quick to criticise England so it is only fair to say well done for a performance that was the best since probably the 5-1 drubbing of Germany. I thought Croatia were over physical and don't forget their ranked 5th in the rankings. They have never lost in the Stadium so England must have played well and Cappelo go the tactics correct which is something MacLaren never did. Nobody is saying that everything is now right but give credit where it is due and say things are going in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sport Lover Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I critised England cos they were poor - simple as and yes they played well last night and well done but until we win 4 or 5 games in a row playing good football I woulnt get too excited yet.
