Great Start For Merson:
Belgium 0 England 2 ( Rooney 32, C. Cole 78)
Despite recent claims over Merson's squad selection England dominated Belgium to give Merson a win in his first game as England manager. On a warm night in Brussels England began well with Beckham hitting the post early on. There were also chances from Lampard and Cole. But in the 32nd minute Wayne Ronney found the net with a well placed shot. At half time Merson brought on Kirkland,Carlton Cole,Barton and Lennon. Chris Kirkland was on fine form saving a number of shots. In the 78th minute Carlton Cole scored his first ever England goal with a good finish after a superb pass from Defoe.
