England vs Croatia tonight. Loads has been said about it in the press during the last few days, I have nowt to add bar an inevitably wrong prediction: 2-0 England.

The column inches not dedicated to England are dedicated to poaching rows.

Phil Brown is 'very proud' to be in a two horse race with Burnley to sign out-of-contract winger Bolo Zenden.

Lucas Neill (who I had thought joined Atletico Madrid. Someone said so here, can't remember who, and I didn't bother checking it) is reportedly being offered £40k a week by Sunderland.

Patrice Evra wants to be a baby-sitter when he retires. Either that or form a comedy duo with Park Ji-Sung.
