Not exactly the headline you’d want to see on a night when England had to deliver just a draw against group leaders Croatia.

But it was a dismal performance from our lads in white while the Croatians out-played, out-performed, out-classed us at Wembley tonight.

So where does this leave English football? What does it mean for Mr McLaren? What the hell are all the hooligans going to do next Summer while the rest of the continent enjoy watching their teams in Austria and Switzerland? More importantly, what does this mean for the follow-up to World Cup KickOff? Should I bother spending time developing a website that I wouldn’t even use myself?

Lots of questions and not many answers. It’s a time to reflect on the so-called Beautiful Game and what it means for “Engerland”. It’s the first time England haven’t been in a huge football tournament in 14 years (think back to World Cup USA in 1994) so maybe it’s time to give the team a chance to sort themselves out.

Commiseration blog post is over. Well done for trying England but it wasn’t looking likely from the start was it?

Update: I’ve just been invited to take part in a Football Fans Census survey regarding the England team. It might be worth sending your opinions as well.
