England cruised past rivals Wales with a 3-0 win over them in Group E of European Championship Qualifying. Jordan Henderson led the way with 2 goals and a MOTM. Chris Smalling also nodded in another. When they had a 2-0 lead at half-time, the result was never in doubt. The only downsides to the result were that Wayne Rooney, Jack Robinson and Jack Rodwell have reach the yellow card limit and will be suspended for the next match and Theo Walcott has been injured with a broken nose and Andy Carroll has been called up as the replacement. England's next match is in 4 days against Latvia.

England Finally Lose

12.8.2015

Croatia 2-1 England
Shawcross
Corluka
Shawcross
Corluka



England came to an end of a long unbeaten streak with a poor display in a 2-1 loss to Croatia. England took the lead early but from there it went downhill and England ended up losing the match in the 87th minute after a disastrous own-goal by Ryan Shawcross. Croatia looked in truth the better side and deserved to win. England's next match is against Portugal in the Euro 2016 qualifiers.

England Qualify For Euro 2016

5.9.2015

Portugal 1-2 England
Wilshere (2)
Olivera
Wilshere



England qualified for Euro 2016 with a 2-1 win over a good Portugal side. Jack Wilshere led the way with a superb free-kick and a cool finish in between a Nelson Olivera equaliser. England have 2 games left in the Group and will try to experiment in both of them. Their next game is against Austria.

England Thrash Austria

9.9.15

England 4-1 Austria
Wilshere
Rodwell
Junuzovic
Bent

England continued there form with a thrashing of minnows Austria. Darren Bent was the star of the show with a brace with Wilshere and Rodwell also scoring. It was also a great day for Jeff Myers, who made his England debut at only 18 years old. England are still top of their group and have already qualified for Euro 2016.

England Thrash Sorry Egyptians

10.10.2015

Egypt 0-6 England
Sturridge (2)
Smalling
Shaaban
Rooney (2)
Sturridge



England thrashed a very poor Egyptian side in this friendly match. Daniel Sturridge led the way with 2 goals and Chris Smalling continued his good form to make it 3-0. Egypt defender Shabaan embarrassed himself with an own-goal before Wayne Rooney finished them off with a brace. Jeff Myers kept his place in the starting line-up after his impressive debut. England now have 1 more match in the Euro 2016 Qualifiers, against Wales before playing some friendlies to keep them in-shape before Euro 2016.

Been reading this story for a while, and the thing's you're managing to make Englandd do are great, and those are some great players you've bought as well. Keep up the good work, I'll keep reading!

England Poor As They Can Only Draw

14.10.2015

Wales 0-0 England
Williams



England were poor as they could only draw with Wales. They could not get anywhere near the Welsh goal but you have to hand it to Wales as they did some brilliant defending. England were missing Jack Wilshere in this match as he had picked up 2 yellow cards and they will miss Leighton Baines in their first group match of Euro 2016. Their next match is against Tuvalu in a friendly match.

Thanks I will try to win Euro 2016 now!
