England qualifying for Euro 2008 is now back on track again after their 2 impressive victories over Israel and Russia, which England won both matches with a 3-0 scoreline at Wembley Stadium.Micheal Owen was the man of the match for both games, he scored 1 goal against Israel and 2 goals against Russia, which added his goals tally for England to a 40 goals mark, which was an impressive achievement.
Gareth Barry, Shaun Wright Philips, and Emile Heskey had also played well for both the games, which gave England manager a headache whether to stick to these players or to replace them with Frank Lampard, David Beckham and Wayne Rooney when they are back from injuries for next month crucial match against Russia (away) and Croatia (home).
England currently is 2nd on the table, 3 points behind leader's Croatia, a victory over Croatia can see them goes to the top of the table. Russia is 3rd place with just 2 points behind England, their next home match against England is very important, with only 3 qualifying matches remain for group E, only the top 2 teams will qualify for Euro 2008, Croatia, England, Russia and Israel all still stand a chance to qualify. So the race is still on and is going to be very tight for these teams.
Hope England will wins their remaining fixtures and qualify for Euro 2008. =)
