4-1 TO THE ENGLAND!

I think people have learned not to get carried away with England anymore. The most pleasing thing for me was that at last we showed we can play like that after so many months of dross. It was surprising, enlightening and gave us hope that we can qualify for the World Cup.

Tactically I thought Fabio got it spot on. He could easily have played one up top and with becks on the right, so fair play for having the balls to change it. Even before we went down to 10 men we didn't look troubled, and Croatia are a strong side.

There'll be ups and downs before the end of the campaign, but that performance not only gives the players a bit of a lift,. it proves that we can still play football!

It was always going to take time to recover from not qualifying for euro2008. And let's face it, we all know players don't give a shit about friendlies, so fair play, two wins from two when it matters - they've done what they've had to do.

I hope Fabio names an unchanged team, injuries permitting, for the next match.
