England Qualify for World Cup: England 5-1 Croatia See the Goals
Next stop South Africa for England in 10 months time, the big stage awaits after this emphatic win over Croatia.
Ukraine and Belarus have drawn their match 0-0, England only needed a draw tonight at Wembley against Croatia and they have easily done that.
According to Slaven Bilic the Croatian manager "They are missing some Englishness, some of the things that have always made England teams difficult to defend against and play against." and Fabio Capello's response "Thank you Mr Bilic. It is the best. I have no need to motivate my players after this. It's fantastic assistance. He prepared the game. He tried to provoke a reaction. For me, thank you. That's fantastic assistance. I will tell the players 'You have to remember what Bilic said.'"
OK Slaven 5 goals of Englishness there... En-ger-land En-ger-land En-ger-land En-ger-land En-ger-land
