Group G of the 2012 Euro preliminaries is at first glance an easy one for England with serious opposition only from Bulgaria and Switzerland for the top spots.
England starts fresh after their embarrassing run at the 2010 World Cup where all their hopes of getting the ultimate trophy crumbled with poor displays from the group phase only to be thrashed by Germany in the knock out stages.
They managed a good morale boosting victory last month as they won 2-1 against Hungary as Gerard scored a double but it’s clear that the team still has huge gaps and the manager so far couldn’t bring teamwork to the star players.
By their latest results in friendly matches, the Bulgarian team seems to be in a downward spiral failing to win any of the past 4 matches played with defeats against Poland, Belgium and Russia and only a draw against South Africa.
The away matches are by far their weakest points, the last victory whilst traveling dating back in 2009 in a match against Malta.
My tip: England to win ( under 2.5 goals )
You picked the right result but your correct score was a bit out. Mind you after the shambles of the World Cup I’d have thought predicting England to score two goals would be a touch optimistic.
