World Cup Video Croatia vs England

26' 0 - 1 Goal Theo Walcott

59' 0 - 2 Goal Theo Walcott
63' 0 - 3 Goal Wayne Rooney
78' Mario Mandzukic Goal 1 - 3
82' 1 - 4 Goal Theo Walcott

Theo Walcott grabbed a stunning hat-trick as England heroically overcame the hostility of Maksimir Stadium to end in style Croatia's unbeaten record in home qualifiers.

Fabio Capello's men laid to rest the ghost of previous defeats to Croatia, who beat them twice in their last campaign, in a victory that will rank up there with Germany in Munich and Holland at Wembley. Wayne Rooney, who had a hand in all of Walcott's goals, struck the other.
