"We Will Win!" Says Modders
Tuesday, 09 September 08, 05:41 AM · Comments (25)
The Tottenham Terrier has issued a crystal clear warning to Fabio Capello that Engerland fans will be booing in earnest again tomorrow night.
"England will want revenge and but yet again, we will win, We are full of confidence and we will once again be ready for another great triumph. "
The slick, group winning Croatians had a fine Euro 2008 and Modric sees no reason why another win isn't on the cards for a team in form meeting one that isn't.
"I can't talk about the tactics we will employ or whether we will play the same way as we did in 2006 and 2007. We will see but maybe we will have a surprise for them."
For me, England look done for.
Nobody seems to care. Not on the terraces and not in the shirt.
The absence of Gerrard means the deployment of the deeply unpopular Lampard, Rooney only looks capable of winning a card for himself and the list of other players who aren't 'quite giving it their upmost' or simply lack sufficient quality encompasses the bulk of the rest of them.
Beckham still wants to give what he can, bless the old girl and Joe Cole's star both domestically and Internationally appears to be in ascendancy, but those two won't alone won't get us very far.
Tactically we look clogged in attack and Walnutt's abilities to reliably beat his man and cross were wasted on a static Defoe. Oh yeah, Stewart Downing looked awful. The only upside was that our back four wasn't troubled, but that was only down to Andorra's eight men in defence tactic.
Modric may well be right. His last goal was superb. CLICKY
I just hope that his next one is against Villa.

I'd like England/Wales to win with no Yid injuries please - and all our players looking fantastic so that Citeh have to pay us more for them in January.
There are so many things that count against England at the moment; Foreign manager, overpaid and apathetic team, unexciting opposition, uncharasmatic players...
I reckon this will be a bore draw or a one all.
I'm still English, I still want them to win but I'm damned if I have to be enthusiastic about it.
Couldn't give a toss to be honest. The only football team i care about is SPURS. Would love Modric and Corluka to have blinders though!!
Cracking goal, don't think i'll even bother to watch England, i will not pay for setanta sports, i already pay 62 quid pm for sky, and going to the pub to watch that dross on a work night does not appeal. Maybe if some of the players start to care and show a little passion on representing their country i may begin to give a toss, i hope Croatia win, and we don't qualify again so i can go through a summer without the false hope that England seem to instill in me and many others as i have enough of that supporting spurs.

Spot on matey, spot on!
Sorry to say, that Modric is correct. The best result England can hope for is a draw and thats being generous.
Croatia are a far more cohesive unit and a better footballing side than England. The 11 men starting the game for Croatia are desperately proud to play for their national side and will give their all for the shirt.
Those are qualities that England have seemed to lack for many a year now. There is no drive, no heart and no passion and quite how an italian who speaks little english can whip them up into a fervour is beyond me. I can see them going into this game already defeated.
The squad selection has been poor and this has lead to a poor team being sent out. Wwalcott is not international class, neither is Defoe or Downing. Thats 3 out of the 11 that aren't good enough. Lampard has not played well for England for almost 4 years now yet he still barrell rolls onto the pitch (thats 4) Lescott seems to lack confidence when playing international football IMO Woodgate is a far better defender (thats 5). In total 5 players that should not be getting a look in at first team international football. Yet somehow they are there! This leads me to believe Capello is not the man for the job.
We have to accept that the English national team is a joke. A bunch of overpaid ingrates who seemed to be unmotivated and uncaring towards the task they have been asked to complete. The FA is a shambles and IMO needs restructuring from the boardroom to the grass roots. Until this happens then I predict more of the same from the shower of idiots that represent England.
I really hope that OUR Luka is proven right on wednesday night.

Come on Croatia!!
Holy Shitballs! Modric's goal was a corker - can't wait to see him do that in a Spurs shirt.
As for England, I'm struggling to care. I'll watch it but with the same impassiveness I reserve for Bolton Vs. Wigan on a Monday night. 2-1 Croatia I reckon.
