Well having just watch England beat Croatia 4-1 I thought I would start up a post on thoughts about the game, media predictions for tomorrow and next steps.
I usually bang on about Englands lack of creativity and not being as good as we think we are (which i still think) but I was chuffed to see the score line and throughout the game they looked like the better team tongiht - it has been a long time since I have felt satisfaction in watching England play, I usually moan about how I am wasting my life watching them!
Rooney was instrumental in the majority of goals, Lampard's passing was not wayward and added to the team (shame that goal was disallowed), I still dont see the point in Gareth Barry, he did alright tho and I thought Wes and Cole pushed up well. Of course Walcott has a ruddy dream of a game. The goals sometimes appeared a little too easy. Obviously lets not get carried away, this is only Croatia but it is nice to see them play like an international team and concentrate on possession. I hope the papers dont go mad tomorrow, a little perspective is needed. As for next steps, Gerrard will come back from injury and we'll have a certain midfield issue all over again!
