Does anyone know if the game is on via broadband link at any local pubs? Setanta sports hold the global rights to these games and it isn't on ESPN!!!

Maybe the backbencher????

I was actually going to ask the same thing - UG, BigDunc, any chance of showing this? Think it's a 6.15am start on Thursday morning.

Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

For providing that link last year, I can almost forgive your club allegiances
 
I was able to watch games I would otherwise have missed. I only got to see the first half of Andorra-England, but should see all of the Croatia-England match.
 
And I might just watch the Lewes game on Friday morning too.
 
A great site.

From the BBC text commentary:
 
2127: I cannot believe what I am seeing, England stroking the ball around in midfield as the fans give it the 'oles'. Fabio Capello isn't all that happy and is demanding his team go forward in search of more goals. Love that man... AND LUXEMBOURG HAVE BEATEN SWITZERLAND!

2126: "'Are you Scotland in disguise?' is the chant from the England fans here at the Maksimir� tonight, perhaps not."

To be honest, Simunovic (sp?) was lucky not to get sent off before. Unless I mixed up my players. He bodychecked Walcott (nasty foul that) to pick up a yellow. Then he bodychecked Rooney around the 50th minute, when Rooney was through on goal, right on the edge of the area. It should have been a second yellow and off.

Simunic.

Well done England, but I'me very disappointed with our effort. I mean what's the world coming to if we have to rely on Mandzukic scoring? FFS. I guess at least we didn't lose to Luxemburg at home like some...

I'm off to bed now to crawl into foetal position and suck on my thumb until Sunday...

Believe it was Buffy.

As an aside, my uncle said he stopped watching the game at 0-2 and switched to Bosnia v. Estonia on BHT. 7-0, plus two disallowed goals. Some crazy results in Europe this round.

fantastic performance by England.  Sending off was justified, and allowed England to take the piss, but they were brilliant throughout the game.

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Well.... where's my humble pie?

Quite ridiculous result tbf. England must of produced one of those 'once in a blue moon' performances a la 5-1 vs Germany to pull this off.

Funny how the best English player is a Gooner.

Three for me, and two for them.

One for the trainspotters, Is Theo Walcott the youngest player to score a hat trick for England in a full international?

That's arguable. Walcott did well, but was he the best player on the pitch? His goals came from a combination of team effort and defensive errors.
 
The first goal came from an attacking move that had actually broken down. Rooney's through ball did not get beat the defender, but in attempting to clear the defender hit the ball into the back of a team mate. It ricocheted into the path of Walcott, who did well to beat the keeper from a reasonably tight angle.
 
The second goal came from a good team move, with the ball being passed around to find Walcott in space in the area and he finished in similar style.
 
I was trying to get ready for leaving whilst watching the last 10 minutes or so, so didn't see all the build-up for his last goal. It came from Walcott's pace, allowing him to latch onto a ball ahead of the defenders if I recall correctly.
 
Walcott had a good game, he was lively and his pace was a great asset against slow defenders. I think he's the new Aaron Lennon - who will hopefully deliver on his promise. Was he the best player for England? Hmm...

I reckon if anyone else but Walcott scored a hattrick there would be no arguments.

Face it, the future of English football comes from anti-English Arsenal.

From the Guardian website:
So that's the first time Croatia have ever lost a competitive international at home. And what a thrashing. Poor Slaven Bilic, who will now be wishing he never said this: "England can't play good football because they play predictable football. I expect us to win this group. I expected that two years ago and now definitely so. My team is definitely better than the one which beat England twice."
And the West Ham job has gone too Slaven!
