Probably good to give Sterling a break. Rodgers will be happy.

3-0 is the score im going for. To England of course, match the two previous results for this fixture

This will also be Rooneys 99th cap.

I remember his first cap, and first goal. Sadly he was on the losing team that game. To be fair it was a good Australian team :rasta

Just to put into context the quality of Estonia, they drew with Gibraltar last year.

Rooney racking up the gilt edged misses in the last two games. Must have missed 7 or 8 clear cut opportunities.

Having watched the first 30 min, if England can't win this then they spuld be ashamed.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.

Rooney needs to relax more and forget about Charlton's record.

England are so poor its almost not funny.

Need Lambert on, since they keep lumping forward and losing it.

Don't panic. Chances are coming at least. One's bound to go in.

Plenty of possession but not making it count where it matters most.

Good weekend for the Home Nations...and Poland.


Scotland and Ireland are in Poland's group.

Poland beating Germany is a disaster for Scotland and Ireland. Beating Georgia and Gibraltar at home respectively is nothing more than par. So overall, in my book the first half of this international week has ben a bad one for Scotland and Ireland.

Yeah this is really bad news for Scotland.

Germany have one hell of a world cup hang over at present though.

I agree that the Poland win was a bit of a slap for them both, but it was a good win for Scotland, it was the type of game they would of drawn in previous years.
