I was convinced by Englands performance I have to say. Of course you have to take into consideration that this is a new squad with a brand new coach, and everything that situation brings with it.
This was his first competitive game mate, from which I spotted very few negatives, because believe me man, I was looking for and expecting negatives as we all were. All in all I was happy, because this team looked so different to what has gone in the recent past. We need to be positive and leave all that negative sh!t behind us though. That's done and over.
There was a distinct team ethic going on against Andorra, and I was pleased to see that.
Don't forget that it was in Fabio's and the players minds, that the Croatia game on Wednesday will be the harder of these 2 games, and with the games being so close together, I think that needed to be taken into consideration by Fabio and the players too.
I think it would only be fair to give Fabio some time. He's not been in charge long enough to form any sort of opinion about his style or tactics. It's much too early.

I don't know if Theo has actually completed that many games playing 90 minutes, but I think he could handle that don't you? Does he burn himself out during a game? I wish I knew more about him regarding his stamina, because I now have no doubts at all about his speed, skills and his eye for a good pass.
It was a shame that Andorra parked the bus for Theo's time on the pitch, because then all his hard work and tenacity, might have resulted in a couple of goals at least. Very impressed with him.

Not a lot at the moment
Croatia 1-England 4.
What can I say? We were class tonight. We tore them to shreds for 93 minutes. Well maybe 90 minutes, because I do believe Croatia did have the ball for a few minutes of the game.
Their captain was sent off for a vicious elbow that split Joe Coles head open, although by that time the Croatians had lost the plot anyway, and were hacking down anything in a white shirt. Not impressed with that at all. Very nasty.
Theo did well and grabbed a hat trick. The team played as a team to a man, and I have to say this, Wes Brown was awesome tonight. Yes, I do believe he has what it takes.
No negatives. All positives IMO.
Fantastic fu<king result to build on.
England wins one match and suddenly they're better than the European champs? European champs who are undefeated in 37 matches? Please.BangDieSau;2570475 said:Everybody who makes nasty remarks about England is clearly a homosexual or a girl like Keegan. The team is good enough and will do very well this time around. All the other teams are atrocious, except the Dutch, they play nice. Spain, Germany, Italy...please. Please just die.
