Chapitre 608: The Destined Result

On November 21st, the day of the match, the English fans waited at home or in pubs to watch the game.

According to news released before the game, McClaren did place David Beckham on the starting lineup list. It looked like he was finally going to believe in the veteran's experience for such an important game.

Twain waited in front of the television to watch the game, but he was not cheering for England or McClaren. He purely wanted to examine Beckham's form and performance.

In the Croatian squad, the striker, Eduardo da Silva, who currently played for Arsenal, was the most watched. The fawning English media heaped praises on his ability and reviewed his half-season at Arsenal before the game, calling him "flawless." In fact, it was not flawless, but was successful. He scored five goals in less than half a season, and given that it was his first season, that was pretty good. He would be the most threatening player for England in the game.
