In my opinion the secret weakness is not so very secret, simply the fact that everybody knows which is that top class English football is really dominated by foreign players – http://internationalsoccer.suite101.com/article.cfm/will_england_beat_croatia_at_football_tonight

I don’t hold out much hope for England in this World Cup but hopefully with the tighter transfer and player rules put in place this year, things may be better for the next one.

I will like to think it’s just mind games as well, Rob. Still, Bilic’s claims has got me thinking what was he trying to refer to. In fact when being asked about the lack of ‘Englishness’ ahead of the match, he said that it was meant to be a compliment – http://www.sportinglife.com/football/international/england/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/09/09/09/SOCCER_Croatia_Bilic.html&TEAMHD=england

Make of that whatever you will.

If we can qualify against the same team that humiliated us last year, in the same venue, that would be huge. I mean, similar to Beckham scoring against Greece, or beating Germany 1-5. Qualifying hall-of-fame moment.

I think its just mind games, but I would expect to see Olic run at Glen Johnson constantly.
