England and football

He's known in some newspapers as Steve McClown: Steve McClaren, the England football manager.

 

I watched the match between England and Israel last night, a vital match as England attempts to qualify for the Euro 2008 championships. Whilst England won 3: 0 I came away feeling that England's performance was aimless. Meandering up and down the pitch with little to convince me that there was any longer term strategy underlying the performance.

 

Why McClown then? Well, he's was interviewed after the match and claimed a magnificent victory.

 

England faces Russia in the next match in this series: we'll see more of the truth then I think.
