I can see a resounding 6-0 win here, even Emile Heskey getting a goal, prompting the famous chant "Six nil, even Heskey scored".

I think we'll nick a 1-0 win in all seriousness, Joe Cole (if he's not injured) will score.

I can see the win, yet it will be tough. 2-1 win for England in my view, and it will be stressful. A comeback win, with the winning goal coming near the end of the match.

I can't see Israel scoring. I think they'll sit back all match, stick 1 up front like they did in Tel Aviv.

They're playing Nesson Dorma (sp?) before the match btw.

I like Joe Cole, we missed him cutting in from the left when he was injured, a big plus now he's back. But Heskey up front with a 75% Owen dont fill me with great confidence; aswell seeing gerrard playing with a numbed toe.

3-0 at the minute..pretty one way match, should be more..

Heskey played well

Heskey missed a few sitters but he gets in the right places at the right time.

I didnt see the game!!After a few hours in the pub i crashed out on the settee.slept right through it!

I wish Heskey not play this game....anyway wow! 3-0 nice one England, i havent see this match lol but i watched highlight...Owen score nice goal! Well Done Richards, he score first goal!

Next Russia...England do fuck destroy Russia!:

Played a quality ball through to Owen when he rounded the keeper, but other than that not a lot.

Gotta hand it to Heskey, answered his critics in ALMOST the best possible way (goal would have been perfect). Shocking as far as goalscoring goes, but you can't deny that him and Owen seem to have a connection when they play together.

Also, I'm amazed that Joe Cole actually managed to do something productive for a change, though I daresay it won't last...
