Would i be right in assuming that the mickey mouse team you are referring to is Scotland? If so thank you for the tip.

[Maxriddles]

Back to being the best team in the world again until the next rude awakening? I can't wait for all the speculation tonight on who England will be playing in the 2010 World Cup Final.

brilliant team performance by England,long time since i have seen a England team play the ball round with so much confidence, shame about the Lampard goal being dissallowed,it was world class.all the team played well but Rooney and Walcott where outstanding.

[The Baron]

Good performance all round. I thought everyone had a good game tbh except calamity James. The balance was there between the full backs attacking and defending. It was bang on in the middle of midfield and when Rooney was further forward in the second half the support to Heskey was excellent. The choice of Heskey was good too vs that type of centre half away from home. The gameplan to play down the right was on the money too. Especially with Krancjar out.

[Josedinho]

England win and Scotland win. Great night.
England play better against decent teams just got to get through the grinds of all out defence teams.
Hope Scotland and England both get to the World Cup. We all know deep down that we like each other.

"It's SHITE being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low, the scum of the fucking earth, the most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some people hate the English, I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are colonized by wankers. We can't even find a decent culture to be colonized by. We are ruled by effete arseholes. It's a shite state of affairs to be in"

Didn't watch it, didn't read thread but did have a monkey on Croatia @ 2.58 FML

[Matt50]

Well i will have to say that i was very pleasantly surprised by both the scoreline and performance last night, couldnt see that outcome in a million years.

We have now put ourselves in a superb position to qualify and need to build on it by winning our home matches.

[ShatnerPants]

It's great to read through the thread the morning after.

People start off, either hopefully optimistic, but half expecting the worst, or expectanctly negative, hoping for a miracle.

Then as the game progressed and the miracle happened, the joy seeps through the ether.

For me I was working late last night, so I only got to hear the first half in between deliveries, but I managed to park up in a layby for most of the 2nd half.  I think I interupted two couples' dogging for the night, but tough shite - this was more important.

Having seen a bit of the highlights as well ;

• it's a travesty this can't be shown terrestrially
• it's got to be the best England performance this century
• Capello might even know what he's doing
• Walcott IS NOT A WINGER, please, please remember that

1. Nit
2. I think beating Germany 5-1 away is still better.
3. There was never a question of this, hes managed at the very top level for years and years.
4. Walcotts best position is undeniably forward, not striker, but forward (just behind striker) as shown last night and at some points when playing at Southampton. Having said this, i disagree with you because he is still an effective player on the wing and can play in this position imo. He was awesome when i saw him live on the wing, beating players easily on the right with his pace, and coming inside passing balls into the box. Maybe just needs to work on his crossing.
