Headline Writers Celebrate England Defeat
ENGLAND have lost to Croatia on a wet night in Wembley. The fans will not be getting themselves acquainted with plastic chairs, inflatable Lancaster bombers and banking at next summer’s European Championship in Switzerland and Austria.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. Steve McClaren is surely on his way out. David Beckham can stop trying to run. And the headline writers are having some fun:
DAILY SPORT:
“YOU MAC US SICK – Cro-ing, Cro-ing gone as England blow it”
“HEAVEN ALP US!”
THE TIMES:
“McClaren’s Wembley washout”
DAILY TELEGRAPH:
“Unqualified failure”
DAILY MAIL:
“A wally with a brolly”
THE GUARDIAN:
“Hopeless, hapless, helpless”
DAILY STAR:
“OUT YOU CRO”
DAILY EXPRESS:
“HUMILIATION FOR STEVE’S SHOWER”
“It’s over and out for McClaren”
“You’re a muddy disgrace Mac”
DAILY MIRROR: “I’LL GET ME CROAT”
“FIASCRO”
“CRO, NO! CRO, NO! CRO, YES! CRO, YES! CRO, NO!” – The goals go in
THE SUN:
“RAIN OVER”
“WE STINK. IT’S ALL OVER”
“CRO JOB TO NO JOB”
