England have gained 9 points and will want to try and continue their brillant form . The road to South Africa is looking good for England as if they win today will be one of their best starts in a Europe WCQ group.

They Clash with Belarus today , a tough side who not a lot of people know alot about.

They are aiming for a play off spot at least.

2-1 England I reckon. Will be a decent test I hope, I reckon Belarus will attack and I'm still not 100% sure about our defence and it hasn't been tested much in our last three qualifiers so we'll see.

[Cixso]

David Wheater has been called up. ;D To be honest Wheater for Upson, whilst being bias here. :)

Downing is playing???!!!!!!!

He better ******* show his wroth this time. He blew it for him self last time.

I put Likely team but its either him/Gerred/Barry/Lamprd on the LW

But

Hart Wheater have been called up and Abgonlar should have but

he got injured.

[Andys]

I wouldn't have thought Downing would start.
and Ferdinand won't score 2 games in a row :S

2-0 England
Rooney & Walcott.

If we get a set piece hes are best bet of scoring from a header

Dowing is the only natural player out there for the LW

Lampard and Gerred cant play and never will so one of them might get stuck on the LW but it wont work

and we need Barry for the DM postion away from home.

[hazz0rd]

England will narrowly win I think. Should be a good game.

[Excellent2]

3-0 I think :)

[Immenseman]

1-0 England, I think Gerrard had a point to prove ;)

[Jamie!]

Fairly good goal aswell, 30yrds out.

There's a decent stream on Sopcast if you haven't got Setanta, it's on channel 6099 and it's english comm.

[Excellent2]

I think thats secured his position.

[alexxxxx]

belarus having a fair few shots on target. =S

[Immenseman]

yeah, they're not a bad team. I think England are doing alright though, they seem to get through the midfield so easy. Walcott made a few mistakes already, uncomfortable with the hostile crowd?

If he can get a hat-rick in Croatia, then I'm sure he can in Belarus lol.

[Geraint]

1-1.

Some guy.

[Jamie!]

1-1...

Walcott left his man unmarked at the back post to header in.

[Immenseman]

Well he should stop giving the ball away then... 1-1 now.

Good result, 5 points clear of the hugely over-rated Croats.
