England has left the building

Croatia 3 : England 2
-The defeat of the mighty three lions-
That was the result from the crucial match last night. I thought England was going to qualify, I thought that they had the perfect chance seeing as Russia lost in their game against Israel which means England has to at least get a draw in order to qualify for Euro 08.

Paul Robinson fell out with manager McCLaren and wasn't even named amongst the subs. I still think that however poorly Robinson has been playing, it was a significant risk to choose an international novice such as Scott Carson. He's a great player and all but he lacks international experience, I would rather pick David James than Carson. James has been doing pretty great with Portsmouth.

Carson did...ok? He made some mistakes but in an important game like this, every step and every move you make counts.

The highlights for the three lions came when the manager brought in the man, the legend - David Beckham. He has great passing accuracy and killer freekicks and he supplied the cross that enabled Crouch to score amongst the other passes that he made during the duration of the match.

That Brazilian born dude who plays for Croatia -Eduardo Da Silva- was great. Of course he is, he's playing with Arsenal.

hmm...We'll just have to look forward to Euro 08 without England in it. Everyone, together now - Bye England......
