'If It's Football, It's Vital'

England - Bilic hails his sides 'destroyers'

Croatia manager Slaven Bilic has paid tribute to the England side that 'destroyed' his Croatian side 5-1 at Wembley on Wednesday.

Bilic has told sky sports that the 'crushing defeat' was not something that he expected even in his 'worst nightmares', a defeat that he called a humiliation that could have been worse but for their keeper keeping the scores down, and he was unlucky with his error for the 5th goal as his performance did not deserve that.

He also feels that England could 'definitely' go on and win the world cup: 'they can definitely win the World Cup. Definitely.

'It's not easy to play every game like that, but they did not misplace a pass in the first half-hour. All their passes were dangerous, one-twos ... perfect.

'If they play like that, then of course they can win it.'

Although the players and fans did not really need much motivating for this game, Bilic of course made a fatal error with his pre-game thoughts about England, as this would have given us extra incentive to go out and put on a show and get this win - which we well and truly did.
