Heskey was, as usual, BRILLIANT!!! - England should now easily repeat 1966 history and bring home the cup!!!

:Erm: Did you watch a different game? He setup the first 2 goals :doh

Croatia should have had a penalty when it was 2-0, may have been a different outcome if they'd scored, as England tend to bottle it.

It is amazing how you lot rave on and on about the players and nobody mentions the eyetie that got them to perform on all 4 cilinders....:Erm:

As far as I can recall, may be wrong at that, England never had such a clean run to qualification in history.....:Erm:

The only time I suppose was in 1966 when they qualified because it was the host nation....:omg:

Yep, most of the praise should go to Mr Capello. This is pretty much the same group of players that whimpered out against the same opposition 2 years ago. Now they're playing with belief and confidence, and that's got to be down to the boss.

Brollyman was a joke, worst England boss ever and they have had a few muppets.

I didn't see Capello score in any of the qualifiers! :Erm:

They all played bad on purpose 2 years ago to get rid of McClown :Hellooo:

isnt he on 6.8 million a year? :Erm: he should thanking us :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Not forgetting the qualification bonus! As statistically we qualify for over 90% of tournaments regardless of manager, it makes you wonder who comes up with these figures for wages.

Look at Portugal & Argentina....may not even qualify :cwm24:
