"The Sven verdict"

Three matches, three wins. Can't ask for more than that.

I think it is evident that there is a freshness about England at the moment. It has probably come too late to help England win the group (5 points behind Germany with four games to play) but qualification via a play-off now looks very achievable.

What beat Geramny? Even if we win in Germany we still have to hope they drop other points. But I hope your right!!

i think that England with Eriksson,will finish in first,because i've the experience of being coached by Eriksson in Benfica

Yes! we've got second place and thats all we need, were not gonna get anything other then three point from each game against Greece and Albainia, especially at home, so the Germany game is effecivl irrelevent, just reputation building, but not technically important.

We do have some friendlies planned. We are definately playing Holland at some point, but can't remember details of any other fixtures or dates.

He's certainly done well so far, but it's our next two qualifying games that will be the real test, away to Greece in June, and away to Germany in September.

At least our last 2 games are somewhat easier, home to Greece and Albania.

9 points from 4 games will definitely gaurentee a play off place, but that's assuming the Finns take points from the Germans!

Even if we beat the Germans it might not be enough to win the group, they have to drop points. Maybe they will in Albania, or in both games with the Finns?

Does anyone know if we're playing any friendlies at the end of the season?
