England vs. Croatia

The qualifying round for the Europe 2008 tournment just finished with some very exciting matches. I missed them because I was in NYC, but as always, I got all the highlights on www.footytube.com. The big story was the England-Croatia game. All England had to do was tie this game and they would qualify to play in the huge European tournment in June. But as you'll watch in this game, they gave up two early goals, dramatically came from behind on a Lampard penalty kick and a Peter Crouch goal, only to concede the go ahead goal right at the end. Absolutely tragic! Of course, the coach didn't make it more than 3 days before being fired. As a side note, France did qualify for the tourney, but it was a long tough road.
