Israel may hold key for England victory

9 months ago 17th Nov 10:56

More than £500,000 worth of tickets had been sold to Russians, this may mean Israel's home advantage could be lost.

The choice of referee replacing at the last minute has also attracted speculation.

Fandel was accused of bias against Spartak Moscow in Celtic's 1-1 draw in August.

But Israel coach Dror Kashtan vehemently denied any suggestion that his side would be seeking anything other than a win.

Either way, England coach Steve McClaren said he fully expect us to have qualified for the campaign.
