Is it top two who go through?

Dunno but we'll finish top anyway, It may not have been a vintage performace tonight but I could see a far bigger difference between our grinding out a disciplined 2-0 win against them tonight than the indisciplined 3-0 win we had against them last time.

We were playing Andorra. Andorra would have trouble beating the Albion.

I thought it was very poor. Only the winners go through, followed by the BEST 8 runners up...we will not win this group.

One was a gardner, another a council official. When decent international teams play such nations it is a walk-over. Germany 13, San Marino 0 for example.

Have some f***ing faith it was Capello's 1st proper game & he knew what to do to change it around when it needed it. The fella has got a football brain & come Wednesday Croatia will finish a lot more frustrated than we will.

My faith in England disappeared years ago. Nothing has happened over the past years, and certainly nothing has happened in the past 5 games or tonight to change this. The belief that England will succeed is based on nothing but blind faith. Tonight was turgid and laboured with NO imagination. I sense you have lost sight of the fact that Andorra at ranked 186 and mainly amateur?

We will not win in Croatia.

and if we lose. I think our world cup campaign would be over before it started. Croatia is a must win game to restore some pride and confidence

You some up exactly whats wrong with football supporting these days.
 


Call it indisciplined, if you like - I'd call it unprofessional. Look at Germany tonight - also playing minnows away , and did a thoroughly professional job on them (6-0).

I agree, though, that we don't have to win in Croatia. A draw would be a very good result - as long as we then go on to win at home. The games I am worried about are the away games against the mid-level sides - I can see us dropping points there (Ukraine, for a start, and I wouldn't be too surprised if we struggle in Kazakhstan), whereas I can't see Croatia doing that (although I don't think Croatia are anywhere near as good as their FIFA ranking suggests).

Capello does have a good footballing brain, and will do better than the brollyman at sorting things out when we are struggling. It's not Capello I'm worried about.

No just sick and tired of watching England and their over payed players put in insipid performances for their country. I don't expect Brighton to put in great performances each week. Oh and i watched Crawley grind out a result today.
