Hot off the press

 England thump Croatia - are we back on track?

It was an astonishing sight. England playing good football, passing the ball and generally putting in a performance, and getting a result against a Croatian side unbeaten at home since their registration to FIFA in 1992. Theo Walcott stole the show with a barnstorming hat-trick, and Wayne Rooney gave a glimpse of what he can do at his most lethal. It means England top their qualification group, taking six points out of six. Do you think this a turning point? One man doesn't:

"Fabio Capello is unsure whether England's demolition of Croatia in their World Cup qualifier will be sufficient to win back the belief of the supporters. England produced their most convincing performance for several years to complete a 4-1 victory over Slaven Bilic's side with Theo Walcott bagging a memorable hat-trick. Capello said: "Has this result got back the belief of the fans? I don't know. For me, it is only one result. An important result maybe, which puts us on six points with the Ukraine, but that is all." (PA Sport)

What did you make of Wednesday's terrific result? Was it just a one-off? Or does it proove England can step upto the plate when required, coasting along in less important games such as friendlies and matches against Andorra? Do you agree with Capello - do you the supporter need more convincing, or are you happy at the moment? It seems strange for a manager to state such a thing, or is the Italian just keeping feet on the ground. Could this be a turning point as England get back on track? We believe there is a lot more to be done,
