Eureka! It turns out that if no one plays defense, football becomes a very high-scoring affair.
All credit to Theo Walcott's very cool finishing (and even some credit to Wayne Rooney for his), but Christ on a unicycle, there was just no marking at all. The aftermath will no doubt result in a long national emotional crisis in Croatia, which will only be resolved by the Ninth Balkan War in 2034. The really great thing, however, is that this kind of result cues England-Can-Win-It-All hysteria, which naturally sets up the horrendous (yet inevitable) mental breakdown of 2010 to perfection.

I agree with Dundas' apprehensions about the New English Mentality in the post-Croatia Victory Era, but how about a few more minutes of cuddling in the afterglow? And a little more of the old credit where it is due.
