Take The Shame

To add to my woes England crashed out of the Euro 2008 qualifiers against Croatia in what can only be decribed as a shameful display of football.

It was as if the players had no fire in their bellies, with the exception of Peter Crouch and possibly Beckham. McLaren, the manager, has now been sacked.

Croatia, despite having already qualified and the game having no relevance to their standing, played with desire and gusto. It is as if they were keen to have England out of the competition. It was nearly malicious.

The pouring rain at Wembley Stadium last night was most appropriate.
