    I watched the game last night, it was painful! The English squad deserve to be out. Don't get me started on the rookie keeper Scott Carson or the English (lack of) defence. Goodbye Mclaren (manager) I hope we can get 'The Special One' Jose to take over. Final score 3 -2 to Croatia well done to them they deserved it!

    Ahh Well... Roll on the next world cup!

    Jose ruled himself out of the job and is waiting for a club to manage. Could he be playing games or was he serious?
    Can't blame the defeat on young Scott Carson although the first goal was his fault, he did make an excellent instinct save that kept us in the game at that time. I would have preffered to put Rob Green of West Ham in if we was changing keepers but it was just pleasing to see Robinson dropped as he's been shocking.

    I'll only be looking forward to the World Cup qualifiers if we have a decent manager in charge!!

    I believe Jose could not manage England currently, might probably has something to do with his termination contract with Chelsea. I presume there is a clause within (during termination of contract with a huge pay-out) that Jose may not be a manager of any English club or England team manager. Might be possible...

    We like to watch England play. Most people who follow soccer, do.

    In fact, England and Brazil are the two teams most supported by people who are not actual nationals of either country.

    Okay, McClaren was missing Wayne Rooney (ManUtd) and Michael Owen (Newcastle) and John Terry (Chelsea), all key players but still, in all fairness, McClaren is a Donkey, we are glad they sacked him.

    As for Jose Moaning-ho, there is no way on earth he will manage England. He may be popular with Chelsea fans, but he did that on a 0.5 Billion GBP budget.

    Moaning-ho can also never admit when he is beaten.

    If you are going to bring in a Portuguese guy to manage England. Bring the hottie Cristiano Ronaldo (yum yum)

    Yes, 0.5 Billion GBP was the budget to build Chelsea a team that could not even win the Champions League. :p

    Despite missing the 3 key players, England has certainly no lack of technical ability. I believe it's down to the coach's tactics - he certainly did not get it right. Anyway, it's been shown statistically McClaren isn't really the cut ever since he took on as England manager.

    Furthermore, we cannot deny there is no lack of professional and skilful English players.

    Talking about C. Ronaldo... erm, he's not English :p hehehe... but yeah, I would like to see him cross-fire with the Brazilian team; that is Portugal vs. Brazil. That'll be one great match to watch!

    Did anyone notice, that there wasnt one ManUtd player in the team - Rooney, Hargreaves, Ferdinand, GNeville, Brown, Carrick, Scholes... ok some maybe retired/injured, but for me, its an omen that the Reds are gonna win the league again this year :p

    :D:D:D

    Oh yes, that's true! I did not realise that
    Looks like that's a good omen (and a premonition for others)
