Looks like a good setup to me..

A trip to Kazakhstan in the middle of summer after a full season is not ideal, but other than that it's a pretty good outcome.

Good draw for Croatia and England. Both teams got what they have wanted from this meeting. We wanted to play England at home at the start of qualifying. We predict that England team will need extended period of time in order to adopt to Capelo's methods and coaching style....never mind his inability to speak proper english. Also , the game is just 9 months away and Capelo dont have much at the moment...he is still to build a team , which is never easy...so as a croat i have to like our chances in Zagreb.
Two games i dont like are : 06/06/09 v Ukraine in Zagreb
19/08/09 v Belarus in Belarus

Don't worry, Capello will have them ready to go by then.

I think its pretty favourable, with the Crotia games coming at the near the start of the season allowing fit, but hopefully not injured players, to be prepared for selection.

Capello's happy..Securing both Croatia games in Sept. was a good move..http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7187970.stm
