The drama is over. England is finally eliminated, at Wembley of all places. England lost 2-3 after being down 0-2 in just under 15 mins. Lampard took the responsibility, showed his composure as he scored a cool penalty. Croatia were deserved winners but to be fair, England did deserve a point. Euro 2008 will go ahead without one of the football ‘powerhouses’. It’s very difficult to accept the fact that England won’t be playing in Euro 2008, but it’s official now.

It was not because England could not avoid defeat to Croatia. It was more because they dropped points all along. There will be more and more discussions now on foreign players, quota systems, youth talent etc. All said, it’s a shame that England won’t be there in Euro 2008.

From a Chelsea perspective, about half of our first choice team can rest (less injuries?) in summer and come back fresh for the next season. For the number of matches played by the English Chelsea players, not playing the Euro could be of some help, how much ever they hate to watch Euro on TV.

McClaren might count his days or hours. Are we going to see the return of Jose?
