Well England overcame the Estonian's away last night easily enough. The 3-0 scoreline was certainly good enough. I think that put us in 4th place in the table with 5 matches to go, but of those 5 games the 3 Lions have 4 home games to play, 3 of which against the teams above us in the table. I guess qualification is in our own hands. Knockers of McClaren are very unlikely to see the man lose his job for the foresseable future.
We all know about Beckham's quality crossing ability. Becks is arguably the premier crosser of a ball in International football anywhere at the moment.
However, I thought Peter Crouch was a major player in the win. The Estonians had no answer to his physical presence. He created the first goal with a flick on from a throw in for Joe Cole, who brought the ball down and swivelled to fire the ball home past Mart Poom in good style on 37 minutes. The pressure was released and from theronin, he result looked in little doubt.
The second half Peter Crouch notched another England goal on 54 to add to his tally, with a good header following an inswinging Beckham cross from wide on the right. The Estonian left full back really should have closed Beckham down earlier. You cannot give Becks time and space to pick out runner in the box.
Michael Owen's 2nd game back for England after injury resulted in a goal, which was pleasing to see. Another inswinging cross by "Golden Balls" Beckham twiddled the goalkeeper and the Esotionan defence, and Owen was there on hand, on que, to stab the ball home on 62. At 3-0, the game was over as a contest and England are hopefully on their way with an upturn in form behind them.
I must say, I am thankful to McClaren for revisiting his decision to leave Beckham out of the England setup. Yes, Beckham was not playing well when he was dropped. McClaren did say the door was not closed though, and he was true to his word. When Beckham clearly found his fitness and his form, and was producing solid displays for Real Madrid, week in and week out, McClaren brought the player back into the squad. Regardless of the obvious criticism for taking what most view as a backward step.
Come on England!
