I can already feel the football heat. It is getting harder and harder for teams to go up in their respective groups. A win could save and a loss could kill all the hopes of a qualification.

England vs. Russia should be a great match. The Three Lions have to keep the momentum acquired last Saturday as they face Russia, number two team in group E. England holds the 3rd spot. Ukraine, 4th in group B, will play Italy, number 3.
The best thing is , it is far from clear which 14 [...]

Another day gone as we get closer to EURO 2008 Final Tournament. England managed to overcome difficulties, France managed to keep Italy from a victory in Milan and Germany (without injured Ballack) is now very close to qualifying.

Now this is starting to look like a joke. England desperately needs the victory on Saturday against Israel and has yet another injury: Man-U mindfielder, Hargreaves, was set to start the game but is struggling with a thigh strain and could join Frank Lampard and David Beckham on the sidelines.

England’s manager Steve McClaren, desperately needs a win to restore a safe group standing on EURO 2008 qualifier group E. The situation with his players doesn’t really help.
McClaren will be without forward Wayne Rooney (foot), midfielders Beckham (ankle/knee) and Lampard (thigh), and defender Bridge (hip) for Saturday’s match against second-placed Israel. He is also monitoring [...]
