33-1 to score a hat trick for England vs Bulgaria
Euro 2012 qualifying is underway and now we cross our fingers and hope none of our Premier League assets come back injured…
England play Bulgaria in a few hours – and here is my predicted England Starting XI:
Ibracadabra’s predicted England team vs Bulgaria – Hart, Johnson, Upson, Dawson, Cole, Walcott, Barry, Gerrard (C), A Johnson, Rooney, Defoe.
Looks pretty solid to me. Jagielka is also being considered for a CB position (instead of Upson or Dawson) but his ankle took a knock during Everton’s last game so he could miss out.
Bulgaria will be led by Bolton winger Martin Petrov and Aston Villa central midfielder Stylian Petrov. Dimitar Berbatov has taken a leave from the national team after kidnap threats to his family. [Good news for Manchester United - he'll be fresh to take on Everton - bad news for Bulgaria and world football in general.] The Bulgarians will be tough opponents but I expect a narrow England win: 2 – 1 or 3 – 1 seem decent scorelines. A 2 goal margin is likely.
