I'm really looking forward to the Belarus game even though it means a 6:40am train ! I hope england qualify as I'd love to go to the european championships again and have a better experience.

Any predictions for the score?

I'm gonna go for 5-0

4-0

5-0 for me as well

So it will be like watching an Arsenal game

Spot on Roberts

Goals by Alex Scott and Kelly in first half, and Eni and Alex in second half, with Alex getting player of the match award.

A Walkover by England - Rachel Brown only had to deal with backpasses.

Attendance 8,400 approx (I forget exactly).

I was hoping to post a few nice piccies here - but mine were pretty well all rubbish.

This is about the best I got:

Sorry I have no photos to post I was at the England game but I missed the dead
line to get permission from the FA to take photos. Hopefully Iwill be at the Arsenal v Chelsea league cup game next Sunday.
