Reports are surfacing both the English and international media that the FA has sacked McClaren. It has been said late last night that he refused to resign. He said judge me on results, and we saw the amazing results. England lost to Croatia 3-2 last night and lost the qualification to Euro 2008.
The former Middlesbrough couch might be replaced by Aston Villa manager Martin O’Neill. The media and the fans would love to see either Fabio Capello or Jose Mourinho manage England, but i really doubt it.
England is not in the Euro 2008, thanks to Croatia amazing win 3-1, It was really an entertaining match, I don’t say this usually about England International matches. Five goals was scored and during each and every one scored we were on the edge of our seats. Russia should keep on thanking Croatia for centuries to come, because they gave them the qualification on a silver plate.
The penalty clearly was not right, Defoe cleverly fell down. The English goalkeeper had the worst display ever, i think he killed any chances of becoming an International favourite to any manager managing the English National team.
Today on the Wembley Stadium at 20:00 GMT England will play Croatia to qualify for the Euro 2008, few days ago England was saved by Israel(The Zionist Entity), when it won over Russia 2-1, now Even if Russia wins today against Andorra and England won or drew with Croatia they will be through, England also might become the leader of the group if they win Croatia 2-0 or more. The match is airing on Aljazeera Sport Channel 1 here in the middle east.
But with Beckham and Robinson not chosen by Steve McClare, depending on the latest news, England chances just doesn’t look so bright. This is was he said lately, “There is great spirit and strength in the squad, and a steely resolve and determination, but there can be no excuses. The players have got to go out there and prove they deserve to reach Euro 2008. It is not done and dusted.”
Davor Suker the formal Croatia striker has told BBC Sport that he thinks England will get their point and will join Croatia in Euro 2008, “Croatia and England will make it to the championship,” he told BBC Sport. “It’s not easy to beat England at Wembley. They’ve been a little bit up and down this year but that’s normal when you have a lot of changes in the dressing room and on the pitch. I think England will qualify and be very strong at the finals in Austria and Switzerland.”
For sure i will be watching Eduardo da silva in the Croatia squad, and Richards in England, I expect both to show real control and power. Both very talented with Eduardo scoring 10 goals in this qualification round with Croatia. And of-course Richards have been playing well with both Manchester City and his National Team.
I expect a draw either 0-0 or 1-1, if there would be a winner i would expect Croatia to win, but it just looks like a draw for me now.
Well, first of all a nice goal from Fabregas with the help of Eboue, Adebayor and Sagna. Arsenal returned to the fired up mode in the start of the second half, they played well, but to be honest Almunia was not so confident but he did save us from some nice shots but still shakey performance.
The second Manchester United goal scored by Ronaldo was a result of a really nice Saha pass to Evra and a really bad defending job by Arsenal’s defence line. In the end gallas saved us in an amazing crazy goal.
I expected a 2-1 victory for Arsenal and they could’ve got that result, am not happy withh all arsene wenger’s substitutes I mean if they work with other teams that doesn’t mean it should always work.
Ok, so we all saw that Arsenal was denied a penalty, thats not my problem my problem is that we started all fired up but eventually we just couldn’t keep the ball with us, and couldn’t handle is well enough to keep building up attacks and scoring a goal. Although we saw Gallas had a nice try and some shot here and there. Ofcourse Manchester played well but the goal is clearly a lucky goal its not because Rooney was clever or in control.
Nobody wants to see the goal again ofcourse but, here is the goal anyway, CLICK HERE.
