According to wikipedia he has scored against: Uruguay, Hungary, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Greece (friendly), Andorra, Macedonia, Estonia and Austria.
I don't want to jump on the bandwagon here, especially as i have a big fat zero interest in our national side but.....
This has to be payback for the farcical situation in the Premier League in recent years where the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea & others can field teams made up entirely of foreign players. I know England have been crap for years, even in the 70s & 80s when Johnny Foreigner was a much rarer species - but time I think for an introduction of quotas, minimum numbers of home grown players in the matchday squad.
Payback too for the ridiculously uncompetitive nature of our league game in recent years, where the teams playing Champions League football & raking in the profits walk away with the League & undermine the cups.
If this forces anybody at the highest levels to re-examine where the English League has gone in recent years, it will ultimately be a good thing.
They won't of course, too much shareholders/foreign investors money at stake.
Sven got the best out of a poor bunch of players and now people who knock him realise what a good coach he was. Lampard, Gerard, Shithard! At least I will enjoy Euro 2008 without that shit raising our expectations artificially. No wonder why managers in this country buy overseas, we produce shit players and tell them they are world-class!
Sven was not a good national coach. Get real, he failed us many times.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, we need an experienced international ENGLISH footballer as manager to kick some bloody arse, and pick some different players who have a bit of heart and pride.
McClaren stop saying "WE". The buck stops with you fella.

Couldn't be another Beckham Free kick?
You never know....
Manager's inferior tactics and other players who didn't turn up should shoulder the blame.
