England v Croatia Preview

November 21, 2007

If someone had said a week ago England would only need a draw at home to Croatia to qualify they would’ve been thought a fool. 5 years ago we ‘only’ needed a draw at home to Greece. 2-1 down with time running out, David Beckham stepped up…

If England win by more than 2 goals tonight they’ll top the group, which Steve McLaren would argue is all England set out to achieve. A 2-0 home win (5/1) will also see them finish top of the pile. With Peter “Rodney Trotter” Crouch leading the line, there’s no reason why they can’t continue our excellent home form.

England, who look set to drop both Paul “Crisp Packet Hands” Robinson and Becks for tonight’s qualifier in favour of Scott Carson and Sean Height Limit respectively, are 4/9 to keep a clean sheet and 6/4 minus a goal on the handicap.
