According to the English press we should expect this to be 473 – 0 to England. Because as we all know by now that’s just how easy international football is!

England were fantastic last time against the Croats but before that game had been decidedly dodgy under the new manager, Capello. I’m still nervous as to which England team is going to come out tomorrow, the headless chickens or the team that tore Croatia apart. Things aren’t helped on the injury with news that John Terry will very likely miss the game. Whilst I don’t rate Terry in terms of technical defending ability what I do think he adds is huge amounts of composure and organisation. Will England suffer without Terry being in the heart of defence, likely, will they be a lot less organised having the skipper (most probably going to be Gerrard) in midfield, definitely!

For all our sakes I hope England take the points from this game, it should give them the confidence they need to run over (well, beat anyway) Belarus on the 15th. Two wins in these games puts us in a good position for qualification. Lets face it with the way the world is going to shit we could do with a good party in 2010!
