England coach Fabio Capello expressed his delight with his team's performance in the 4-1 win over Croatia in the World Cup qualifier played on Wednesday. A Theo Walcott hat trick and a Wayne Rooney strike handed England a historic win at Maksimir, and after the game Capello was pleased with both the performance and the result. "What impressed me more in the performance was the team's spirit," Capello told Sky Sports News. "They played with courage and like a team. For me if you want to win you have to play with spirit and with style. The former Real Madrid boss was recently criticized for starting Theo Walcott ahead of both David Beckham and David Bentley. A decision which paid off in Zagreb after Walcott's wonders gave England the three points. "I'm happy for Theo. I'm happy because I chose Theo. He's a very important player for the national team and also for Arsenal," he concluded. The big win left England joint leaders of group 6 alongside Ukraine with six points each ahead of their upcoming qualifier against Kazakhstan on October 11th.
