England's lack lustre
goalless draw in Tel Aviv on
Saturday night extended
their winless run to five
games, in which time some of
the highest paid talent in
world football has managed
to score only a single goal.
Despite enjoying
overwhelming superiority of
possession, Steve McClaren's
side were unable to break
down a dogged Israeli side,
leaving the Three Lions
third in what is considered
a weak section.
The result produced a
predictable backlash from
the notoriously fickle
British media who've been
sharpening their knives for
McClaren for some time.
England's next assignment is
arguably the easiest, away
to the tiny principality of
Andorra, where anything but
a comfortable victory could
prove fatal for the
under-fire England boss.
Andorra were McClaren's
first ever competitive
opponents when the sides met
at Old Trafford, in front of
more spectators than there
are Andorran citizens. As
expected, England won the
no-contest at a canter
scoring 5 goals with the
Andorrans unable to muster a
single shot - on or off
target.
Andorra's aggregate score
from four defeats in this
competition reads 19-1, so
logic points to an England
victory, but Andorra have
shown they are capable of an
upset. In World Cup 2006
qualification they beat
Macedonia 1-0 and held
Finland to a goalless draw
at home, which should force
punters to at least consider
the possibility that Andorra
can cover Bet365's four goal
handicap: England at 1.943
(+4), Andorra 1.980 (+4).
Andorra have however, made
things even easier for the
Three Lions by opting not to
play at their tiny Estadi
Comunal, which by virtue of
its size, may have given
them some territorial
advantage. Instead, the game
will be played at Espanyol's
Estadi Olimpic Lluis
Companys, where England fans
will give their side the
feel of a home game in
Spain.
