Well come on England, this is another must win game, more of a test than Israel though.

The McUseless should stick with the same team he used saturday.

well done england looks like a team i can cheer again. i think the addition of barry's left foot in the centre of midfield has brought a nice kinda balance to the team and heskey looks like he is playing out of his skin. owen is firing on all cylinda's along side heskey so the big decision now is weather to bring back the regulars in the team or should mcclaren bring back the likes of rooney and lampard. i know one thing and thats the fact that i deffo prefer richards at right back to gary neville.

If the players in last nights team are not injured for the next match, they should be the starting 11.

a massive relief and a great result, nice to see the squad playing with confidence again, and owen back to his goal scoring best, that 2nd one was a blinder!!

Bring on croatia!!

It's great to see England play with confidence again and winning games.

We are lucky to be in a very easy group and at last our class is showing.

It will be interesting to see if the likes of Rooney, Lampard, Hargreaves and Beckham can get straight back in the team.

Great match and good to see England playing well again. The side should stay exactly the same in my opinion. Its not about playing your best players but putting out a team who play well together like this current one is doing. Remember that in 66, England lost their star striker, Greaves through injury in the World Cup and we all know what happened after that! :D

pure brilliance, true what you said, its not always your best eleven that make your best team, and barry in my eyes was the biggest positive to come out of both the games, lets hope they keep on picking him, him and gerrard were awesome together.
it made a nice change to not actually finding myself shouting at the telly like i usually do cause they are playing dire, cannot fault anyone in the team, top draw stuff, just hope they keep it going.
