England v Croatia L I V E !

The wait is over for England as they can earn a measure of revenge over Croatia if they can beat them in this World Cup qualifier. Croatia had eliminated England at home the last time these two clubs met with a Euro 2008 spot on the line.

The side managed by Fabio Capello have been a force in qualifying this season. England sit in 1st place of Group 6 with 21 points which are the product of 7 wins in 7 matches. They have scored an impressive 26 goals while conceding just 4. England sit 4 points ahead of Croatia and will qualify if they win or they draw and the Ukraine are not able to beat Belarus. In their most recent qualifier in June, England trounced Andorra 6-0 with Rooney, Lampard, Defoe and Peter Crouch all scoring.

Croatia were winners at home over the weekend as they held serve over Belarus by a score of 1-0 at the Maksimir Stadium in Zagreb. Ivan Rakitic was the goal scorer and the victory gives the side managed by Slaven Bilic 17 points from their 8 matches and they sit 4 points behind 1st place England. A victory in this match would keep Croatia’s faint hopes of winning the group outright alive.
