Andorra 0-2 England- World Cup 2010 qualifier

Scotland lost 1-0 to Macedonia in Skopje, but neighbours England ended up 2-0 winners against Andorra despite an unconvincing display. And just like in the game against the Czech Republic, Chelsea winger Joe Cole saved the day for Fabio Capello, scoring a brace in the second half as the Three Lions struggled against their weaker opponents. Do not expect England to win against Slaven Bilic’s Croatia on Wednesday if they churn out another similar insipid performance in Zagreb.
