It's gonna be tough for England but I'm banking on them (literally) to win pretty comfortably. Something like 3-1.

Get in! Owen 1-0.

Half of my prediction right. Now just for Gerrard to make it 2-0.

"great"? What if you're only wrong about the scoreline, and Russia get a last-minute goal to win 1-0 or 2-1? Not so great then, is it? :p:

Yeah, I should have been more specific. :redface:

We're 2-0 up now anyway, so it's fine. :p:

2006: GOAL England 1-0 Russia
Gareth Barry's corner is cleared right back to him on the right. At the second attempt his dinked delivery finds Michael Owen lurking on the edge of the six-yard box in space. He traps the ball, picks his spot and fires in off the post. A perfect start.

Emile Heskey knocks a long clearance down to Michael Owen who seems to have all the time in the world before hitting a dipping volley home high past Vyacheslav Malafeev.
