England 3 - Russia 0

England continued against Russia where they left off against Israel, cruising to another 3-nil victory.

With Lampard, Rooney and Beckham again missing, England produced a fluid, team performance showing a better balance and an ability to keep the ball and move it quickly that has all too often been lacking.

As on Saturday, Barry and Heskey impressed, and Owen was clinical in front of goal killing off the game with two first half goals. A late third from Ferdinand wrapped up the evening.

Not too many

The team looked balanced and passed the ball well. McClaren suddenly has decisions to make about team selection.
