England won't win.
At least I very much doubt it.
Croatia are a very solid side and our defence won't be able to hack it with their direct attacking style and our lack of balls latley.
The England team are running scared. Scared of what the papers and fans will say after they screw up yet again. England bottle too easily. It never used to be like that of course. I used to have faith that England could go out and beat any team in the world but I'm not so confident these days.
I'd like to be proved wrong of course and I'll be rooting for Walcott to light a fire under the Croatian defences asses and for Rooney to fly on to the ball and strike it home a couple of times.
We should on paper be able to finish off Croatia but the lack of confidence and dire play when all these world class superstars put on their England shirts cripple us.
I hope we win. I REALLY do. Since it's a very important match and we need this. I will be very happy if I come back to this thread and we've played a stormer and sent the Croats packing. I will not mind being wrong one little bit.
I'm just not super confident of that happening is all.
