5-0 rout, fuck off Bilic
Hmmm........and who exactly do you see scoring these goals...
Rooney - oh no he's injured
Owen - oh dear he injured himself in a completely pointless friendly scheduled less than a week prior to a crucial qualifying game
Heskey - aaaahhhhh........ yes, I think there's a pattern here
Crouch - Oh thank fuck for that, one that can still walk
Who will be partnered by either a kid who'll be making his full international debut, or a nearly man who's spent most of the season sitting in one of those big upholstered bucket seat things that Prem sides have instead of a bench nowadays.
You'll get a result because the Croats have qualified already and probably don't give a shit, but for chrissake don't start with that swaggering, we're going to stuff everybody 5-0 bollocks already.
For the record I don't have any time for that "Israel did you a favour" bollocks. Israel played a game and won. End off. If Israel had beaten Russia a month before, rather than a month after England's loss in Moscow last month, then no-one would have mentioned it. England would just have been going into their last game needing a draw at home. Good enough in most people's books.
You'll finish the qualification games with either
8 wins 2 draws and 2 losses or
7 wins 3 draws and 2 losses
Which won't be the worst of the qualification results by a fair way.
Whilst the quality of the sides in your group might make you think that you should have got through a bit easier, it's worth remembering that you've had an awful run of injuries to front players, an area where you've got a series lack of options at the moment.
Once you qualify you're going to have to pray that Owen stays fit for the finals, or that Walcott grows up bloody fast.
