England's starting marksman and both can be considered as shoe-ins for England World Cup squad.

Okay so my adopted Croatia didn't win last night. Instead they were comprehensively beaten by a
very good England side. It has to be admitted. I suppose we Gooners enjoyed last night. The sight
of Fabregas, Bendtner and Eduardo scoring along with Arshavin's assist for their various
international teams was satisfying.

When you have got the rub of the green, you have got the rub of the green. England's job became
fifty per cent easier before they even kicked off last night as Ukraine and Belarus played out a
0-0 draw, meaning that they only needed a draw rather than a win against Croatia at Wembley. Still,

Qualification sealed in style.
It was a game that Fabio needed to win and a victory the fans wanted to see in order to shake
off any nerves surrounding qualification for South Africa 2010, in the end it was a performance to
remember by a side who must not choke next summer.
It was a near faultless display from an England side clearly reaping the rewards of being
coached by one of the all time greats of the game, for it should not be underestimated the impact

England qualified for South Africa 2010 today with a resounding 5-1 win over Croatia. A side cursed
by always missing a key player in its drive for a world cup spot.Last year Croatia missed Eduardo
and today they missed Tottenham's Luca Modric. Glaring omissions for the Croatians.But this England
side are much different then the 2007 side that lost so painfully to those same Croatians.

With the use of wing backs decreasing in the modern game, Chile coach Marcelo Bielsa has set his

These International breaks drive me mad. Settling down in front of the racing and Soccer
Saturday just isn't the same without some Premiership action, specifically without Spurs.
I really have very little interest where International football is concerned. Don't get me
wrong, I support England in their matches but I just don't have the same passion for them as I did
when I was younger.
