Ramsay's Treat.

I'm not one for jumping on band-wagons, or any wooden form of transport, but Sven has made mistakes in the last couple of games that need to be rectified.

The Quarter-back formation has been a disaster, and should be binned quicker than Michelle McManus. The system suited David Beckham down to the ground, but completely negated the world class talent of Gerrard and Lampard.

With a change in formation a given, Sven's greatest dilemma is the centre back positions. Terry has been all gold this season, so his place in the starting 11 is assured. His partner will either be Rio Ferdinand or Sol Campbell, and for my money, Campbell should get the nod.

Rio has a notoriously bad memory, his recent performances for club and country would indicate that the art of defending has now slipped his mind. On the other hand, Campbell looks hungrier than Wayne Rooney; Sol is definitely worth a nibble at 25/1 to net the opener.

England go into the match with their greatest goal threat suspended. (R.E.M. had the foresight to write a song about Sven's crisis, "If you believe, they put a ban on the Roon?") Early indications would suggest that Peter Crouch will be Rooney's replacement, which proves that Sven has a severe case of Benitezitis, an infliction that makes you believe a gangly forward is the answer to all problems.

Even with Crouch playing, England should be backed at 1/5, if that's too skinny, get on England minus a goal at 8/15.

Now i'm not Gordon Ramsay; but I can knock up a tart no problem.

Here's a recipe for Sven:

Bin the quarter-back.
Bin Rio.
Bin Crouch.

Put these ingredients together, and in nine months, a World Cup challenge will be ready. You can back England for World Cup glory at 8/1.

Belgium v Spain is the tastiest looking match of the weekend; both teams are desperate for the win to remain in contention for qualification.
The first meet between the two teams saw two Belgians see red; it's no surprise to see Van Damme in the squad for this one. The Spanish are famous big game chokers; I'll be on Belgium at 11/5.

Why is it all the great players end in 'O'? (Joseph Yobo is the exception that proves the rule.) Ronaldo, Robinho, Ze Roberto and Adriano will dazzle the Bolivians on Sunday night live on Bravo, back the breath-taking Brazilians at 4/6.
