I know that I'm not a great fan of the English football team (I generally cheer for the opposing team when they're playing) but I'll have to admit that they're playing pretty well at the moment. The team currently playing (Robinson, Richards, Ferdinand, Terry, A Cole, Wright-Philips, Barry, Gerrard, J Cole, Heskey and Owen), which I think is the same team that played Israel on Saturday, have bonded quite well and worked together. There have been times when they've looked pretty sloppy and let chances get through, failed to take advantage of their own chances, and missed plenty of shots on goal, but they've managed to score 3 goals in each game to win 3-0. This should really be the team that continues to play together, rather than bumping them off to bring on the rubbish "big name" players. I say it like that because when those players are on (ie. Beckham and Rooney) England lose. England don't need them and do far better WITHOUT them playing. Get rid of those two rubbish players and England will likely continue to play well and win more games.
