England match-winner Joe Cole has warned that the Three Lions' next match against Croatia will be totally different to Saturday night's easy encounter with part-time minnows Andorra.

The Chelsea midfielder came on as a second-half substitute to score both goals in the 2-0 win in the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona.

Although Cole said the conditions played against England, he warned his team-mates that the real test for the squad
will be on Wednesday when they face the country that denied them a place in Euro 2008.

"You have to judge us on Wednesday's game. They (Croatia) are fifth in the world and we still have a lot to prove. We have to move on now and try and win the next game," he told Setanta Sports.

"Tonight's game and Wednesday's game wil be two different animals. You can't compare them. They are tough games to play on a sticky pitch like this but Croatia is what it's all about.

"It was a tough game tonight. I know it's a cliche but they put 10 men behind the ball. We didn't move the ball as well as we'd like to have done. The confidence of the team was a bit low."

When asked what instructions Capello had given him before sending him on at half time, the Chelsea midfielder said: "He said 'just go out there and try and make something happen'.

"I think the game needed a bit of a spark and a bit of liveliness. They made it difficult, but we got the job done."
