Come On England, A Nation Expects

It's never a good feeling in football when your fate rests in the hands of others, but today Israel though England the lifeline they need to still qualify for the European Cup.

With Israel beating Russia, England now needs to win against Croatia to qualify. This is tense stuff. The idea of England not qualifying is unthinkable. England has to be there, it’s a matter of national pride. But after Macedonia beat Croatia 2-0, England could actually top the group and a draw would be good enough for them to go through. Even if they loose, Russia still need to beat Andorra.

Britain has a permanent seat on the UN Security Council and a guaranteed place in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest, but in football the team has to earn its place and so far it hasn't exactly done that. But now the chance is there for the team to shine and play the way they have shown they can.
