Is this match on proper tele tomorrow?

Edit: why did you edit your post man?

ITV. 7.30. Already booked the beer, food and other *ahem* party enhancers at a friends tomorrow.

Since when did ITV get England matches?
I thought the Slovenia match was just a one off.
Not complaining though...I think I'll stay at home. Locals + football round our way tend to get a bit 'lively'.

Yeah, that's sometimes the case around here too. I remember when fights broke out after England got knocked out of Euro 2004 practically down the road from where I was watching it.

Also, if ITV getting the England games is a bit weird, I read an article on football365 yesterday (this one to be precise)that said the Ukraine-England game's being broadcast online pay-per-view only, due to the collapse of Setanta and all. Dunno how true it is, since I've also read elsewhere that ITV have that one too. Still, it'd be kinda funny in a not-so-funny way if it was.

1-1

I'm not sure about keeping a clean sheet, when you're leaky against Slovenia then there's cause for concern. Defoe and Rooney have their goal scoring boots on though so we can definitely take something away.

I'm going for the draw too. Croatia aren't going to be easy to crack.

He should start Defoe tonight, with any luck anyway. May as well play him and drop Heskey while he's on form like he is at the minute.

Croatia have 4 first teamers out including Modric & Corluka AND it's at Wembley.

I don't see it being a draw unless England really screw it up.

Looking good at half-time...2-0!
Croatia can't keep up the pace and England aren't allowing them to set their own.
Could it be that it's taken a continental manager to get England to finally play English style football?

Take Heskey off and it'll be 5 by the end. I love being wrong!
