The Great Escape
Comparing England to Houdini or Steve McQueen after Israel beat Russia would be quite apt, but we don’t want to insult either men, considering they escaped all on their own. England have now been given a golden opportunity to make it to the European Championships, but Michael Owen, who doesn’t play against Croatia because of an injury, knows they’re not there yet. The Newcastle striker made a lot of sense when he told us, “No-one will be celebrating just yet because there is still a massive task ahead of us at Wembley but we have been thrown a lifeline that many think we do not deserve.” If you back England to win 2 – 0 @ 6/1, you could be Owen-ing our cash soon!
