After listening to some of the rubbish spouted by Steve Coppell and Steven Gerrard amongst others this week I won't be shedding any tears if Russia do knock England out tomorrow. Foreign players - why yes that's a reason for England's national side being dismal! After all, when there were not many foreigners really in the English league in the 70s and 80s England bestrode the world stage like a colossus...oh wait a sec. No, they were crap then too!

However I still have the feeling that England will qualify (Israel away is not that easy a game) and Scotland will not. I have been known to be wrong some of the time though

...er....well most of the time actualyl
