We should get 6 points from these 2 games and that'll pretty much see us qualify:)
 
63,000 tickets have been sold for the game tonight and I think there's another 10k or so of the Wembley season ticket holders who might want to go so it's going to be a frustrating night's travel for lots of them, if they can make it all because of the train strike :(

It might be frustrating on the pitch too, Andorra defend with 10 men and that's all they do.
 
Beckham and Johnson starting:

Green, Johnson, A Cole, Gerrard, Lescott, Terry, Beckham, Lampard, Crouch, Rooney, Walcott.

Subs: Robinson, Neville, Bridge, Young, Wright-Phillips, Defoe, C Cole.

That's in shirt number order by the way:)
 
Even though it was against dross, that was one of the best England performances I've seen in a long while, mainly because we've struggled v teams who simply want to defend against us. It was entertaining too.
Tonight there were no signs of the frustration that's plagued us recently and we played with confidence.
Becks had a good game without running around everywhere, if he keeps himself fit his place in the WC should be nailed on even at his age.
Young looked very bright and linked up with his namesake well, Rooney had his football head on.
Lamps was faultless and I thought Johnson was outstanding, he's grown up big time.
There were a couple of players who should've done better against that sort of opposition but all things considered it was good :)
 
Problem with Johnson is his defending. Looked great tonight because he was free to do what he does best which is attack but against someone who will run at him, no thanks.

Do Liverpool need a RM still?
He'd do a good job there, he can go inside and out and cross a ball that's for sure:)
