On Wednesday, there was only one TV network in the UK where you could watch the 2010 World Cup qualifying match against Croatia and that was Setanta Sports. Well, at least legally that is. While only four million people in the UK had access to Setanta's pay channels yesterday, the remaining England football supporters were […]

Here are all five goals from England's 4-1 victory against Croatia, including Theo Walcott's hat-trick:

England's away match today against Croatia is massive for several reasons. First, a loss against Croatia will be a huge blow to England's hopes of qualifying for the 2010 World Cup. Second, a loss would put immense pressure under Fabio Capello. Third, if England can secure a draw or a win, it'll be a huge […]

For once, the Brits know how it feels to be American. That is, they know how difficult it is to watch England play football on TV. With the TV rights for England in Britain going to Setanta Sports, most Englanders didn't see the two nil win against Andorra on Saturday. The same will apply to […]

Having suffered the heart break of not reaching Euro 2008 perhaps now, as we gear up for the new season would be an interesting time to look at England’s World Cup qualifying schedule. With just less than seven weeks to go before England start their campaign against Andorra we can begin the build up to […]

Group B will come to the end tonight and every team has a chance to join Croatia in the Quarter Finals. Austria need to beat Germany and hope that Poland do not beat Croatia by a bigger winning margin to have a chance to qualify but they'll be up against it. Austria's last competitive win […]

I've finally had a chance to catch up on watching some of the Euro 2008 matches I missed. The jet lag hit me later in the week, so I found myself watching many of the games this week at weird hours on DVR.The one thing about football is that it can be so subjective. Earlier […]

Group B throws us another tantalising opening game this evening as Croatia entertain Germany. A win for either side will see them join Portugal in the last eight and after the performances on Sunday, Germany will be strong favourites to do so. Yet, Croatia are a team that have shown over the last 12 months […]

Before this tournament started a lot of people had Croatia down as their dark horses to cause a major upset in the European Championships and who cold blame them after Slaven Bilic’s side came through a tough qualifying group to make it to this years competition. But having watched them struggle to overcome Austria […]
