Notes

England: Streak Ends: The first time England have lost by more than 1 goal in a competitive match for 11 years.
Croatian Second Goal: Gary Neville play an innocuous back pass to Paul Robinson. Just before the 'keeper aimed a kick the ball bobbled up and over his boot and agonisingly trickled into the net. Sadly for Neville, as Robinson didn't touch the ball, the own goal is credited to him.
Player Milestone: Frank Lampard's 50th Cap
