Surely 14-4 is a better GD!?
Sol Campbell.
If I were Sven, I'd place him alongside Terry in the centre of defense. Ferdinand has been a little off form of late and we need our team to be at their top form in the next 2 matches.

I think the media (and certain members of the public) are totally overreacting with our position. We have 2 matches left - Poland only have one and that's against us! Although we do have to win both games to finish 1st, our destiny is in our own hands, so confidence should be high. In theory and on paper we have a stronger side than Austria and Poland, so I see no reason why we shouldn't end up in 1st place.
If we do finish 2nd, then I think (atm) that we have the 2nd best 2nd placed team, and so we'd qualify anyway .. but there are still 2 matchdays to go!
No matter what happens, it'll be exciting to see what other teams make it through their groups - particularly in Groups 2, 4 and 7; where things are quite close.
Lets see what happends, we got a new talent that can make the goals for us 
Søren Larsen, we like you!
