An unimpressive win over Andorra was followed by a scintillating performance in Croatia.

Another 42 Years of Hurt?
European Cup after World Cup have seen a snowballing of disappointment for the English football masses. Spain winning Euro 2008 has pushed our reputation as underachievers further down the lav.
