England vs Croatia Match Thread: Wed 9th Sept

Congratulations Stevie. First time I've seen him score 2 headers in a game. Also to Glen for assisting Lampard.

ROF that is correct.

A Croat living down under.

Gerrard scored 2.That's all that matter

What matters is he didn't get injured. I don't care if he scores 12 own goals for England, if he comes back to Liverpool injury free.

An excellent performance, the players actually showed they wanted to play for the shirt even up to the last minutes of the game.

All played well except the big lump up front who once again was shocking - in a tight match he has to take those 2 chances he was gifted or we are out simple as.

He scores 12 own goals, then he comes back with his confidence and morale at rock bottom. That makes no sense.

It makes nonsense

He scores 12 own goals, then he comes back with his confidence and morale at rock bottom. That makes no sense.

I exaggerated for effect. Obviously I don't want him to score 12 own goals, or any for that matter, but I don't care how he plays for England, or how England play as long as he come back fit.

Besides, as everyone seems to say, Gerrard has a bad game, and then has a blinder the next time, so I wouldn't worry too much.

We were ace.

We'll win the World Cup beating Brazil 12-0 in the final.

Easy.

I cant believe the difference in croatia from last year. last year we were missing some vital players and this year i suppose they were missing some of theirs. i think with bilic's comments before the game - whatever he meant by them and the memories from last year really spurred the players on last night. good job well done and south africa here we come!
