A bit like ourselves really. Teams raise there game when they face England. Its pretty much every national players cup final when they face England.

We see it with Leeds. Rival clubs run there hearts out to stop us and sign anti Leeds songs. England also expects success, as do Leeds, so there is pressure heaped on the players, a mental block, heavy shirts as they say.

Then you have the best players at every club in the premier league, are foreign, including spurs (Eriksson)

End of season lull. No one wants to be out there from either team at the moment and the same can be said from most the international matches played this weekend

Must admit that I am a fan of Joe Hart, however, he did seem a little slow in reacting to the two "dead ball" goals, especially the second one?

They do! France, Spain, Brazil, Argentina...
