Following yet another disappointing major tournament and slumping to the bottom of Group 9 in qualifying, England needed a new lease of life. This came in the form of Sven Goran Eriksson. The first foreigner to manage England. He has been a breath of fresh air for England and took The Three Lions from the bottom of Group 9 to the top, in spectacular fashion. Along the way, England beat Germany 5 - 1 in Munich and Beckham scored a freekick in dramatic circumstances to secure England's place. Eriksson continues to bring new blood into the squad and is testing out many new players. England fans are very optimistic about this years World Cup and they have good reason to be.
