It seemed to me that Sven listened to the criticism and took it on board, perhaps for the first time and we saw the benefit of that, though I could be wrong. I suppose the players don't need motivating for a game like that and it served as a reminder that some of our big names who haven't done much for a while should come to the fore when it counts... though not all of them I suspect.

England usually struggle to qualify, but do better at the finals though, since their game's about passion and commitment and they'll be fully focused on playing for their country since their season will have finished with their clubs.
