Like you I have stayed loyal to the team even when we were at our worst. I actually think we can spring a shock in the group. I just can't see us losing tonight or against Italy who are very beatable!

We don't lose many goals, because Trap will make sure that the team are well organised and difficult to break down. The difficulty will be with creating chances and taking them. The wide midfielders will be very important in this, and whoever is playing alongside Keano will have to be on top of their game, especially if it is Kevin Doyle!
Lots of teams have beaten their opponents just through organisation and clinical finishing, Denmark for example defeated Holland (a team who are far superior to Croatia, in my opinion).
If Croatia can draw with Italy later on in the group, then a win tonight against Croatia for us would open the group up completely. I fancy Spain to win all of their games, that means the maximum Italy can get is four points (assuming they draw with the Croats) in the group. Then it is in our own hands, a draw against the Italians would be sufficient for us to qualify.

Why does that never look the same as when I typed it out?
