Soak it up people, as this may be the last it we ever see David Beckham in an England shirt.
As I made my way to Wembley this Wednesday night I was EXPECTING a win. The hard part had been done I thought, but Croatia were not only a better side than England, they deserved the win. We were terrible and we only looked like scoring and did when Beckham came on in the second half.
It is a great disappointment for a nation that invented football to fail to qualify for next year's European Championship.
We needing only a tie and England allowed two quick goals, in the first half.
After David came on he crossed to Peter Crouch who scored after our penalty to make the game 2-2. But Mladen Petric scored in the 77th minute, giving Croatia a 3-2 victory. I can not believe we could hang on for 13 more minutes.
Devastated. What will us England fans do next summer?
Well done Electra your country did you proud. Shame I can not say the same.
My ticket and pictures from the game.

Very disappointing... why is he wearing number 17?
I think he was wearing 17 because he did not start the game. The starting 11 get jerseys 1 - 11.
Well done Croatia! We didn't need to win or draw or anything, but we did fight and i think that winning on Wembley Stadium is definately the top that you can reach in football.
I really thought it would stay 2:2, but that goal from Petric was phenomenal and out of the blue. Well done!
Offcourse you can only imagine the front pages in Croatia today, we couldn't be more happy!
I do feel sorry that England is not going to Euro 2008, but for my selfish reasons, as now i won't have the chance to see Victoria Beckham in Austria/Switzerland next year (that is if David would play).
And lucky you Fashion Critic for being there at the game!
o dont its too sad, he better be back in the England shirt! that would just be to horrible if hes not.
