Sigh of relief

You may have noticed that I couldn't bring myself to post about England's performance against Israel for fear of tempting fate for last night's Russia game. But all seems to have gone well, and England got exactly the result they needed.

What do people think about Heskey? I said he was the man and I definitely think he's a good partner for Owen. It will be interesting to see if he is now ahead of Crouch in the pecking order for good.

Owen on form is a class act, and how Sven must be regretting that he didn't have him fit and firing at crucial times during his period as manager. Long may it continue.

But the best perfomance last night, which saw Wales win as well, was Scotland's 1-0 win against France to put them top of group B. If they can get through a group including France and Italy, they will show England a thing or two, given that England are still struggling to make it through a group in which only Croatia should have provided difficult contests.
