"We were all outstanding. We played a fantastic game and the score in no way flattered us," said Captain Niko Kova after a 2-0 victory over England in group E of the Euro 2008 qualifying round…
…and he was right!

Croatia were not only good, England were terrible! The result stretched Croatia's impressive unbeaten run at home to 30 competitive matches and Bilic believes it also put England in a complicated position.
A position that received no mercy from England’s harsh media. The Sun newspaper said the keeper's "comedy caper" showed McClaren's new England era was "fast turning into a joke" and said fans jeered the England players as they made their way to the team bus.

Group E also includes Israel, Macedonia, Russia, Estonia and Andorra. So it’s not fair to say England are out of the qualification completely, but all the queens horses and all the queens men will be needed to put the team together again.
England is my favorite team, I still don’t know what their problem is…!
They have the best players, the highest funding, smart people and an excellent environment for excellence… just what is their problem??
