    I love when the Special One reads emails and it says, "Hey Jose, I love the show -" and he's like, "Why thank you Michael."

    I dunno, it just makes me laugh.

    Yeah, but we have to keep our heads cool. I'd rather we won 2-1 or something.

    So he's not injured then, that's great news for you guys.

    Congratulations on the win, it has a special meaning especially after losing the Euro's from Croatia.

    Rooney has assisted on 2 of the goals and scored one himself.

    Haha! Don't even give me that. It's Walcott's day today, my friend.

    If Rooney had a hat-trick I wouldn't say, "Walcott assisted 2 of the goals, and got one himself." C'mon man - This is a reason why England play so badly, because there's so much rivalry. Give it to the boy man!

    They played very very well. A bit shaky at the start.

    This surely has to be a sign that Crotia aren't as good as they looked, and that England are not as bad as they looked. I think with this win it will mean that England have to qualify unless they do an extremly big slip up.

    Which is still possible - If we play like we did tonight, anything can happen.

    England were flattered by the scoreline, and that's something we must remember. A result like this is good, but the players (especially Walcott) must keep their feet on the ground and keep playing hard. I don't quite know why there's an argument about who played better Rooney or Walcott; the fact is that Rooney assisted two of Walcott's goals. Without the other, neither would have had the statistics they had and England wouldn't have won by as much as they did. Last night will go down as the coming of Theo Walcott, but it should not be forgotten Rooney's crucial contribution.

    I don't deny Rooney's contribution, but I believe that Walcott should be given a lot of the credit. He didn't have to shoot those goals.

    I believe that Walcott can keep a cool head, and does not get over-excited. His post-game interview proved that for me.

    I think that was a great display, but...... I doubt we can do that twice in a row considering Walcott goals were all virtualy the same, and Croatia had a man sent off, before we scored most of our goals. But if they can mix it a bit then we can pick up steady wins.

    It won't happen again. Rooney doesn't get a hat trick every game, Ronaldo doesn't get a hat trick every game, etc.
