Line-Up:(4-3-3) Joe Hart, Glen Johnson, Phil Jagielka, Gary Cahill, Leighton Baines, Gareth Barry, Jordan Henderson, Frank Lampard, Bobby Zamora, Wayne Rooney, Darren Bent.
England qualified for the 2014 World Cup in style with a 5-0 thrashing of Montenegro. Bobby Zamora led the way with 2 goals and Jordan Henderson also performed well. The only down side was that Wayne Rooney will miss the next match after he picked up a second yellow card of qualifying.

That is just the way I like it. It seems to work well so I stuck with it.

England could not find the net as they drew against a good Poland side. If it wasn't for Poland keeper Szczesny it could have been 4 or 5. They now only have San Marino to play in qualifying but will have to do it without Frank Lampard, who picked up a 1 match ban.

England wrapped up a fine qualification campaign with a win against San Marino. They now look ready for the World Cup and England fans are feeling optimistic about it. They managed to survive the match with 2 replacement right-backs after Johnson and Walker got injured.

England won their friendly against a poor Romanian 2-1. England were in truth better but they weren't as good as they have shown before. John Smith stuck with the same team as the last qualifying match and they stood firm for the whole match.

England earned a deserved win against Peru in a friendly months before the World Cup. With Wayne Rooney, John Terry, Phil Jagielka and Scott Parker were all withdrawn from the match by their clubs and lots more were only allowed to play only 45 minutes. But England still fought hard and substitute James Milner looked amazing.ught hard and substitute James Milner looked amazing.
