Robinson was England's best by a mile...stopped it from being 5 or 6.

England are a shambles...youngsters from the local Croat League taking the piss out of EPL superstars.

Robinson: Best for them although at fault for both goals in my opinion.
Neville: As useless as always, the backpass king backfired on him. How this clown has 8 EPL championship medals is beyond me.
Cole: Overated...Rapaic took the piss out of him.
Ferdinand: Shaky as...struggled against Petric.
Terry: Solid in the air but struglled with Eduardo's pace.
Carragher: Useless.
Carrick: Over-rated. United ripped off magnificently (again).
Lampard: Over-rated. Shoots on site from ridiculous angles.
Parker: Who?
Crouch: Didn't touch it all night.
Rooney: Out of form. Made one chance which he skied over the bar. Their only chance all night.

Full credit to Croatia and their new coach...has rejuvenated the team by getting rid of the cancers from the WC. Reality is, they're still nothing special but there is hope...not sure I can say the same for England on their last 2 performances.
im glad someone agrees with me. All these players are ridiculously over rated. Neville has 8 EPL medals because like i have said before, he is surrounded by a team of great players. He is an average player along for the ride. His team mates make him look good.

Just saw the replay on tele and had bit of a chuckle but then in the background on the advertising billboard theres a picture of Borat with a frown on his face. Looked funny. Is Kazakhstan in that group ?

That second goal was hilarious !

Robbo's attempt looked like my golf swing, but at least I can say it was a practice swing !!

Reminded me of Robbie Bajic and his phenominal ball skills

The one and only...my rating of Neville has nothing to do with me bagging Man U.

Ofcourse they deserved their titles...my point is that you'd think someone with 8 premiership medals would atleast have a clue unlike this moron. Ryan Giggs has got a clue...all class even, but Neville? Pfft.

FFS he was backpassing all night against Croatia...one even from 15m in their attacking half. I'd have thought he'd have pissed off his backpass routine after his magnificent effors at the WCC in Brazil several years ago. Just watch his passing FORWARD one day...see how many times he hits a team-mate or does something constructive with the ball.

The One and Only - The reason neville is there is because there is nothing better in England at the moment to play at right back.

5 years ago fergie made some big bids for Javier Zanetti and Cafu and they rejected the move, otherwise do ya reckon he would have been their no.1 RB??
