1857: ENGLAND TEAM TO FACE CROATIA
James; Brown, Ferdinand, Terry, A Cole; Walcott, Barry, Lampard, J Cole; Rooney, Heskey.

Quote1908: "Capello has gone for a very positive line-up, the charges of conservatism made against the Italian can be swept aside now. What a chance for Theo Walcott. Have we seen the last of David Beckham starting big games for England? The atmosphere inside the Maksimir Stadium is sensational. Not sure what the DJ is playing but the locals love it and this will not be a welcoming place when England come out to warm up."
BBC Sport's Phil McNulty in Zagreb


score predictions ? will england play positively ? will croatia destroy us like they are capable of ? will steve mcclaren play up front ?

Heskey?

Heskey is SHIT He will have the ball in his feet for 1 minute in a whole match, he is slow and fat. Even crouch is better.

even Dot Cotton has more chance of score goals.


But seriously? Bent/Agbonlahor instead of Heskey and we would win.

my goodness you are beyond wrong.

heskey's strength is his movement, his ability to bring/free others into the game, his experience and height.

it wasnt just because of joe cole that england started playing better against andorra when they came on

Quote by soool heskey is SHIT.


but anyway, why doesn't he play agbonlahor, he's as fast as lennon/walcott and is good on goal

Hesky's movement is so bad that whilst at Liverpool, he was told to do 'ballet'.

:(, reading BBC:s story Theo Walcott is destroying Croatia. Josip Simunic is forced into a shocking shoulder-barge to take out the flying winger.

He is able to continue ?
