Joe Hart!!! Yay.

I would have thought though Roger Johnson and/or Scott Dann were worth a look. After all, playing for the team that were favourites to be relegated by now, they've been the backbone for what is statistically the sixth best defence in England. Indeed, statistically better than Upson, Lescott and Shawcross. And not far off Wes Brown...

[Maximo Mark]

Everyone's better than Wes Brown.

It's a sad state of affairs when he's the only right back we call up. We're so under strength there it's ridiculous.

Good win for England although the first half was just pure dross. Ball kept given away and play on the wide areas was virtually non-existent. Lampard and Walcott had a really bad half especially.

The 2nd half was a lot better when the subs came on and scored some good goals. I hope Capello isn't thinking of bringing Walcott because I think he'll do more harm than good on that right side!

Congrats on England's 500th ever win as well

May have expected an England win and thought Egypt would score, but this was a really pleasing result for England. Further proof that England are a 2nd half team, we would have struggled to qualify had our games finished at HT.

Does make you wonder how Egypt failed to qualify though..
