World Cup Group 6 Qualify group result : England 3 Belarus 0England striker Peter Crouch opened the scoring after only 4 minutes with a opportunist's tap in from a great Glen Johnson cross to put the home team 1 nil up on Wednesday 14th October. Great possession for England in the first half but Belarus looked comfortable on the ball too but struggled to push England in the final third. It has to be said that Spurs striker Peter Crouch was England's best player, making a nuisance of himself as well as providing genuine goal threat.
In the second half, it was Frank Lampard that took the opportunity to impress Capello with a free kick that was tipped over the Belarus cross bar. Aaron Lennon had his moments as gooner Theo Walcott watched on from the Wembley stands.
Sean Wright-Philips hit the second from a Frank Lampard corner with a well placed drive in the 60th minute. After an industrious game, the Man City man deserved a result from the match which was nice to see.
Glen Johnson looked good defensively as did Wayne Bridge at left back. Ben Foster also had a decent match in between the sticks which is a position not yet confirmed in terms of a starting XI.
England then got their third in the 75th minute when a long ball went to Carlton Cole who struck it nicely across the Belarus 'keeper who managed to stop it, only for the ball to fall to robotic dancer Crouchy to slot home his second of the night.
In the 86th minute James Milner hit the post and then LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham tried to place a shot outside of the box to shave the post.
Nice solid result for England after an unfortunate sending off against the Ukraine on Saturday. Great competition for places; Crouch strengthened his bid for the 'big man' striker and also Beckham looked sharp for the last 20 mins proving that he must be in the squad if he's fit when the time comes for World Cup 2010.
