Its a really sad fact that england lost its wheels to croatia.england were supposed to be the winning side and they were the favourites,but all of a sudden croatia just defeated england and they are through.i think its after 1984 for the first time that england are losing out of the euro.steve mclaren has been removed from the coach position and i hope they will be able to recover from this humiliating defeat as soon as possible.The blow for the euro this time is since england are not there,euro is not going to be as successfull usually it is as england were considered one among the favourites for the cup,lso it badly affects the sponsorship amd also money to be made from the tickets.anyway beeter luck next time for the england team.

England lost 3-2 despite goals from Lampard and Crouch. Rookie goalkeeper Scott Carson was to blame for the first goal as he let literally let it go from his hands, whereas defensive errors cost the other two goals.
Mclaren got the boot immediately after the game and the FA are now looking for a new head coach. I believe more heads would roll.
Cheers!

England was literally trashed by Croatia. If referee hadn't make that penalty shoot for England it would be a lot worse for them. That penalty looked like way out, but they missed it! England played without Beckham in first half and that was big mistake, because he is England! I don't like him, but England without him looks very, very lost.

Yes. England lost. I really can't believe it. I thought Heaven was on England side when Israel won Russia last weekend. If Russia had won Israel, the match against Croatia would have been meaningless because England will not qualify no matter what.
But, Israel won Russia and England only had to draw Croatia in order to qualify. Too bad, they lost and they only had themselves to blame. The players and the managers are all at fault. Anyway, Steve McClaren and Terry Venables have been sacked. I wonder who the new manager for England will be?
