BBC Sport will show England's thumping win over Croatia at Euro 2004 on Saturday, and we take a look at what you have to look forward to
Does anyone fancy a rewind to when England thumped Croatia at Euro 2004?
Rooney, winning his 16th cap, rocketed a 25-yard drive past Croatia goalkeeper Tomislav Butina to give England a half-time lead. Eriksson said: “He's absolutely fantastic, not only at scoring goals but he plays football - he's a complete footballer." Sven-Goran Eriksson’s side took charge of their Group B opener against holders France, with Frank Lampard scoring before two injury-time goals from Zinedine Zidane delivered an unwelcome finale.
Deprived only of Rio Ferdinand - who was serving eight-month ban for missing a drugs test – Eriksson recently claimed the Euro 2004 side was “his best” during his five-year tenure as boss.And then there was the burgeoning talent of Rooney, partnering Michael Owen in attack, which gave the sense of a team that had the necessary firepower to flourish.
