Great game!

I think we played really well. A hat trick for Theo, 3 points and revenge

Excellent

Notice we played more like a TEAM in this?

Should have been 5-1 though.

Saw the highlights (the goals and the elbow) on BBC and CNN. Seems like a nice performance from England. Also nice to see Theo on the scoresheet. I've been a fan for a long while as he's not just a dumb fast runner-striker, but also has the technique and brains etc to see and reach teammates.

It was a shame he didnt get to play in 2006. Hopefully he'll be a regular starter at Arsenal (... and not just cause he's in my fantasy league team.

Holland won 2-1 against Macadonia. Difficult game, nothing to write home about.

Scotland won against Iceland, thank christ!

Poor Wales got beat by the Ruskies though...

Good win for Scotland, they needed it too.

Makes me laugh how England win one game and the press hail them as "world beaters" etc. etc. They'll qualify for South Africa alright then be found wanting at the business end of the tournament. it always happens and no team with a liability like James in goal is going to ever win anything.well done Walcott though,i was at Anfield last season when he produced that amazing run,the lad's got talent (and he's a Liverpool supporter to boot)

I wouldnt say we're world beaters, long way to go yet, great game though

Capello says we're "more relaxed" playing away.
