Croatia v England live

Revenge will be the first thought when England takes the field against Croatia this coming midweek at Zagreb. Croatia defeated England home and away twice to eliminate England from the 2008 Euro finals and with new Coach Fabio Capello looking to make up for all the flaws in the earlier outfit, the Three lions will be gunning for revenge when they come up against Croatia this midweek, a match you can watch live online here on www.oleolefootball.com, our coverage starting from 19:45 GMT.

England have improved steadily under Fabio Capello and while the football exhibited in not exactly free and fast flowing, England have picked up results at will over the past three months. England comes into this clash on the back of a 2-0 victory against Andorra, in a match lit up by the spectacular form of Joe Cole. Joe has been in fine fiddle for the three lions for quite some time now and after the inexplicable absence of Michael Owen from the first team roster, Joe Cole will be counted upon to provide ammunition from the mid-field. England will have Steven Gerrard out of this fixture while Emile Heskey will partner Wayne Rooney upfront in a clash that will go some way in deciding who will be topping the group.

Croatia on the other hand have been in brilliant form over the past couple of years and are currently riding high on number five in the latest FIFA Ranking. The Croats have a mixture of youth and experience as exhibited by their Euro 2008 displays where they reached the quarter-finals defeating Germany on the way. Key striker Eduardo will be absent for this fixture as he is still recovering from the horror tackle earlier this year. However, Luka Modric will provide the ammunition and supply from the midfield and the Tottenham midfielder will have a major say in this high profile World Cup 2010 qualification clash.
