Allardyce has the most cosmopolitan squad in the Prem but has consistently got results and top half of the table finishes in recent years. He has lured names to the Reebok that fans could only have dreamed of 5 years previously. I would say that he is just as well qualified to apply for the...

Even when German appear to be weak (as in Euro 2000 and WC 2002) they are still one hell of a tough team to beat. England need to be working on the basis that we will need to beat probably three of France, Italy, Brazil, Argentina, Holland and Germany to win the World Cup. Therefore, we need...
