Lion's Share

The lads wearing the Three Lions played as beautifully as any English rose last night (wow, did I just write that?!) to deliver a stunning result against Croatia. Theo Walcott, in his number 7 jersey, was the bee’s knees as he delivered a hat-trick. I think the English fans can be forgiven for having schadenfreude after having being subjected to the loud cheering by the home side. Still too early for the 2010 World Cup of course but it looks like Fab (and here, I mean Fabio Capello and not my Fabulous Fàbregas) is doing something right. Now let’s hope England won’t get too carried away and that Theo will continue his fine form for his club.

In other games, Les Blues avoided being French fried by Serbia, Oranje didn’t need Dutch courage for their victory over Macedonia and Spain had their Spanish eyes and minds focussed on delivering a good result.

It’s the 9/11 anniversary today. RIP to all those who perished in the attack.
