Yes yes - Krancjar, Eduardo and Corluka - BIG NAMES.

Krancjar or Gerrard?
Eduardo or Rooney?
Corluka or Ferdinand?

Says it all.

Croatia work better as a team. England have an outstanding prospect because we have amazing talent, but Croatia work together better.

Exactly - like I said, "we're crap".

A team like England shouldn't be going out in qualifying. When the qualifying draw was made, I looked at England's group and thought "what an easy group". With the likes of Andorra, Israel, Russia, Croatia and whoever else you have to say England should have gone through. Russia and Croatia may have a few good players but England have quality throughout the team. Individually, England are, arguably, the best team in the world but they don't play well together as a team. The players show up for their clubs but they never show up for their country.
