England have beaten Croatia in their own back yard, four goals to one. They played quite superbly and taught their opponents a lesson in football. The Croatian team have been somewhat of a bogey team for England and it sure felt good to lay that ghost to rest with a comprehensive four - one win.

Capello has targeted the strengths of England, the Premier League is the best league in the world and the pace of the games is quite incredible. For some reason previous England teams played a rather slow continental type game, why? It really makes no sense at all. Capello has realised this and the players are now chasing down each ball, winning the fifty-fifty challenges and playing as if their lives depended on it.

The English press and supporters have been very critical of the team over the last few years, quite rightly so as they have not been playing anywhere to the levels that they should be. The negative reaction has been more to do with the apparent lack of effort and passion, it was if they did not care. This was just not acceptable and hopefully has changed for good.

A successful English football team can lift the whole country and if the players can win the World Cup in 2010 they will be national heroes for life. Come on lads, you can do it.

Players like Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard, Theo Walcott and Ashley Young will be the catalyst to victory in South Africa, I am convinced about it.
