Yep, looks a nailed on Russian win to me, then the whole of England can stand up and shout "fix", "Romans money done it" even though the real truth is, That inept clown McClaren ruined my summer 2008 | |

I have a feeling the Israeli's won't lay down and roll over and that they make a game of it. Either way I hope ( in a perverse way ) that we don't qualify then we might just get a half decent manager in charge for the next world cup ! | |

For me its almost fantasy to think that England wont be in the cup. But it certaintly looks like it. I'm cheering for England (Really I am) but for me motivation will be a key factor in this game. Israel will probably play fresh and optimistic as usual but their defence miss the class required for this match as I see it. | |

RUSSIA WILL NOT WIN, the bookoies will collect all the money bet on russia and they will use it for their expenses in euro where england will paricipate | |

















Here is why...
Its a very open situation in Group E as Crotia, (26p) England (23p) and Russia (21p) all have a chance for making it through the qualification for euro 2008. And England and Crotia will actually meet in the last round for what could be a crucial game for both countries if things goes that way in the forthcoming games... but lets see about that.
Israel has no chance of qualifying for euro 2008 so their motivation could be higher for this game.
On the contrary this game is pretty much what it takes for Russia to head for the euro 2008. If they win this they only need to defeat very very veeeeerryyy weak Andorra in next round. If they loose this one they have to count on England loosing at home to Crotia. Hmm not something they want to depend on i guess.
On the squad side things are also looking prominent for Russians:
Goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev and defender Sergey Ignashevich, both VERY important players are back in line for this match.
On the other hand Israel will have to do without Liverpool midfielder and ditto Israeli Captain Yossi Benayoun due to an injury. This could defently be expensive for the Israelis.
Go with your max for Russia
