Quote:
40' GOAL! Croatia 1-1 England
Some great build-up play finishes with Lampard playing a ball through to Owen. His shot is saved by Butina; then the rebound is headed on by Rooney and there is Paul Scholes who heads in!!! Well done Paul Scholes!!

45'+1' GOAL! Croatia 1-2 England
The boy genius scores his 8th goal in sixteen internationals. Owen in in acres of space on the right. He passes infield to Scholes, who knocks it on to Rooney who fires a drive past Butina from 22 yards out. Simply brilliant.

68' GOAL! Croatia 1-3 England
Another one for England and another one for Rooney. Owen plays a great ball straight through the Croatian defence, Rooney runs clear of any attention and slips the ball past Butina. Superb!

Quote:
79' GOAL! Croatia 2-4 England
Frank Lampard's fourth goal for England! he picks the ball up outside the area, cuts infield, dummies the goalkeeper and then shoots past Butina.

A thrilling game with goals from Scholes, Rooney and Lampard. France should have lost against Switzerland.
Football's coming home!
