Euro 2008 Qualifying: Israel 0 - 0 England

Because I am a masochist, I went to the pub yesterday to watch this. And England weren't egregiously awful, but they certainly weren't good either. At least I got some half-decent eggs benedict out of it. And also beer. Beer is essential.

I'm going to do this in bullet points, in no particular order, because I don't think I need to be any more cohesive than England were yesterday:

• Somebody needs to sit Steven Gerrard down and explain to him -- using small words so he'll be sure to understand -- that just because he's been given license to roam on the right wing doesn't mean he should be spending 80% of the game in the middle of the pitch.
