Football Focus Highlight

This will be England and Croatia's fifth meeting in as many years! Sixth if you count a friendly in 2003. The bad blood began at the 2004 European Championships, when the Three Lions defeated the Vatreni 4-2 in the final group game, and hence progressed to the knock-out rounds at the expense of Croatia's progress.

Under Slaven Bilic, though, they did the double over England in the qualification rounds for the next Euro tournament, and prevented England's route into the 2008 finals! The bad blood does not end there, as a Theo Walcott hat-trick in Zagreb last year helped England thrash the Croatians 4-1.



And England come back strongly with 5-1 win. Lampard and Gerrad scoring double, and Rooney scores a give away goal. Eduardo scores for Croatia.

And England finally found World Cup Ticket to south africa.
