Even if England lose tonight they will still be favourites to qualify. I'd like to see a measured, professional performance from England. Going out all guns blazing might be what some fans and media want (and expect), but I think England need to be a little more canny than that, or they could run into trouble. I don't think England's performances have improved that much over two years, but a 100% qualifying record doesn't lie. Capello knows how to get results.
