4/6/11 Result: England 2 (Lampard 37 (pen), Young 51) Switzerland 2 (Barnetta 32, 35)

Group G England fixtures and table

23/5/11  England squad for Euro 2012 qualifier with Switzerland - Wayne Rooney is suspended for the game and Andy Carroll is injured so in comes Fulham striker Bobby Zamora. England's goalkeeper crisis means team mate David Stockdale and West Brom's Scott Carson will warm the bench.

29/3/11  Friendly result - England 1 (Carroll 43) Ghana 1 (Gyan 90+)

25/3/11  England go top of Group G after comfortable victory in Cardiff - Two early goals at the Millennium Stadium mean England lead the way once again in their Euro 2012 qualifying group.

Group G table, fixtures and results

Frank Lampard hasn't scored for England since his goal against Germany at the World Cup last year. When the Chelsea man hit the back of the net with a 7th minute penalty, the refereeing team condescended to allow the goal this time - as England's dominance paid early dividends.

Darren Bent added a second on 14 minutes after great work on the right by Ashley Young - as Wales looked overawed in front of their long suffering fans. The home side never looked like breaking their Group G duck against a well organised England team. Craig Bellamy with perhaps the best chance for the Welsh with a strike that allowed Joe Hart some diving practice.

The only sour note for England on a comfortable day was Wayne Rooney's booking - meaning the Manchester United striker's summer holiday will not be disrupted by England's game against Switzerland in June.

In the other Group G game played today, Bulgaria and Switzerland played out a goalless stalemate.

21/3/11  England squad for Euro 2012 qualifier with Wales and friendly with Ghana -

Goalkeepers - Foster (Birmingham), Green (West Ham), Hart (Manchester City)

Defenders - Baines (Everton), Cahill (Bolton), A Cole (Chelsea), Dawson (Tottenham), Jagielka (Everton), Johnson (Liverpool), Lescott (Manchester City), Terry (Chelsea, captain), Walker (Tottenham - on loan at Aston Villa)

Midfielders - Barry (Manchester City), Downing (Aston Villa), Jarvis (Wolves), Lampard (Chelsea), Lennon (Tottenham), Milner (Manchester City), Parker (West Ham), Young (Aston Villa), Wilshere (Arsenal)

Strikers - Bent (Aston Villa), Carroll (Liverpool), Crouch (Tottenham), Defoe (Tottenham), Rooney (Manchester United).

9/2/11  Friendly result:  Denmark 1 (Agger 7) England 2 (Bent 10, Young 68)

17/11/10  Friendly result:  England 1 (Crouch 86) France 2 (Benzema 16, Valbuena 55)

12/10/10  Woeful England scrape a draw at Wembley - It's just like watching......well England actually. There were times tonight when we were all taken back to the summer. I don't mean long lazy days where dreams come true and love is fleeting - when birds sing and we can open the odd window every now and then.

No, I mean that toe curling evening on the 18th June when England played Algeria. A game that was so dead and lifeless not even a vulture would want to pick at its bones.  Four months, and a couple of comfortable wins later, and here we are again. Back to square one. Montenegro are no mugs but they surely aren't the slippiest of snakes and the failure to get the three points tonight means that England still have a lot to do to make it to Poland and Ukraine.

Wales didn't do us or themselves any favours in the other game in Group G tonight - losing 4-1 to the Swiss. Montenegro now lead the group on 10 points with England second on 7.

8/10/10  England off top spot in Group G as Montenegro beat Switzerland - Yes, a few months ago they were beating World Champions Spain at the World Cup and now they can't even get a result against UEFA's newest member. Switzerland did have chances to get something out of the game in Podgorica, but Roma striker Mirko Vucinic's strike midway through the second half sends Montenegro top tonight - with a visit to Wembley on Tuesday to come next.

Wales lost again to all but finish their chances of qualifying for Poland and Ukraine. New boss Brian Flynn saw his new team beaten by Ivelin Popov's goal just after the break. There's little chance of Wales doing England a favour next Tuesday away in Switzerland - Chris Gunter was sent off in injury time and will miss the Swiss game while Sam Ricketts is also out after picking up another booking.

7/9/10  Switzerland 1 England 3: England brushed 10 man Switzerland aside in the rain in Basel tonight. Wayne Rooney put his off the pitch problems behind him with the first goal before Adam Johnson made it two in two with a clinical finish for England's second on 69 minutes. Switzerland stole one back with a cracking strike from wonderkid Xherdan Shaqiri but England substitute Darren Bent wrapped up the 3 points on 88 minutes.

Swiss right back Stephan Lichtsteiner was sent off on 65 minutes after picking up 2 yellow cards.

Wales had their greatest night in many years tonight - moving up a place on goal difference without playing due to other results.

In Group I, Scotland destroyed the mighty Liechtenstein 2-1 at Hampden Park. In the 7th minute of injury time a bullet* header from Stephen McManus lifted Scotland to the top of the group. Scotland are now officially the best team in the world - sitting, as they do, above European and World Champions Spain.

* not an accurate description.

3/9/10  Flying start for England at Wembley:  England beat Bulgaria 4-0 thanks to a hat-trick from Jermain Defoe and a first England goal for substitute Adam Johnson.

8/8/10  England squad announced for Wednesday's friendly against Hungary - 

Some time in July:  It is difficult to imagine a bigger disappointment for England fans than that suffered in the summer in South Africa. To go out there with such hope, only to have our dreams crushed by the kind of performances that left us all scratching our heads was bad enough. The fact that nobody from the camp gave a satisfactory explanation for our dire form made it even worse. And, to top it all off even some of our own players have expressed a loathing for the country and the fans.

Yes, it's not a great time to be an England fan. The stock of the players and the manager is at its lowest ebb for over 30 years. Unfortunately, with no change at the top and no young prospects nibbling at the heels of our so called 'golden generation' there doesn't appear to be a lot of light at the end of the tunnel.

But, we must dust ourselves off and come back fighting. We must believe that we can rise again from disappointment and confound the critics. In the 1988 European Championships we lost every group game and came back home with our tails between our legs. Two years later we were inches away from a World Cup final. Proof indeed that the fortunes of the national side can turn very quickly.

So, as the Premier League gets underway and the bad memories of the summer subside, it's time to focus on the next challenge. Qualifying for the European Championships in Poland and Ukraine in 2012. Follow all the Euro 2012 qualifying matches here at www.england2010.co.uk.

The World Cup is gone - let's hope what rises from the ashes of the England team gives us a reason to be proud again.
