09/08/2007 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - England's EURO 2008 qualifying campaign got a huge boost on Saturday at Wembley Stadium as the much-maligned Three Lions recorded a resounding 3-0 win over Israel in Group E play.
The result is especially welcome for embattled manager Steve McClaren, who has come under heavy criticism for his lack of results with the club after taking over following last summer's FIFA World Cup.
A poor run of play in the spring, which included a 0-0 draw against Israel in Tel Aviv, can be put behind the club if it can continue to put on displays like the one it provided the English crowd on Saturday.
Shaun Wright-Phillips notched his first goal for England in the 20th minute, with Michael Owen and defender Micah Richards tallying goals in the second half to complete the scoring.
England totally controlled the first half but only had the goal from Wright- Phillips to show for their efforts.
Joe Cole created the opportunity when he won possession of the ball near the Israel box and played a pass in behind the Israel back line for Wright- Phillips. The Chelsea midfielder timed his run perfectly and slotted his shot past keeper Dudu Aouate to put England ahead.
England's one-goal advantage was soon doubled four minutes after the restart. Gareth Barry slid a pass to Owen at the edge of the area, and with his back to the goal, Owen did the rest. The Newcastle striker took a touch to gain space and quickly fired a perfect shot into the upper corner of the net for his 38th career goal for England.
The visitors were unable to find their way back into the game, and Richards put the finishing touches on the match for England when he nodded home a Steven Gerrard corner to make the lead 3-0.
The win moves England into a tie with Israel at 17 points, and just one point behind second-place Russia, who knocked off Macedonia 3-0 on Saturday.
England has played one less game than Israel, and faces Russia in a huge encounter at Wembley on Wednesday. The other game in Group E saw leaders Croatia down Estonia 2-0 to keep a two-point lead on Russia.
In Group A, Serbia played to a 0-0 draw with Finland, while Poland and Portugal battled to a 2-2 draw.
France and Italy squared off in a rematch of the 2006 World Cup final in Group B, but put on a disappointing show in a 0-0 draw. The result keeps France on top of the group but Scotland moved into second place, one point clear of Italy, after defeating Lithuania 3-1. Ukraine's efforts at qualifying for Austria and Switzerland took a big hit as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Georgia, leaving them five points behind second-place Scotland.
Norway took over second place in Group C with a 1-0 win over Moldova, while Turkey was held 2-2 by Malta. Bosnia-Herzegovina was the surprise team of the group to this point, but dropped a 1-0 decision to Hungary to fall five points behind group leaders Greece.
Germany continued to dominate Group D as they recorded a 2-0 win over Wales to stay five points ahead of the Czech Republic, who beat hopeless San Marino on Saturday 3-0. Ireland, meanwhile fell three points behind the Czechs as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Slovakia.
In Group F, leaders Sweden played to a 0-0 draw with Denmark, but they remained on top of the group because second-place Northern Ireland was surprised 1-0 by Latvia. Spain was also surprised, drawing with Iceland 1-1.
Romania downed Belarus 3-1 to stay three points ahead of the Netherlands, who defeated Bulgaria 2-0 to move into second place. In the other game in the group, Luxembourg lost for the eighth time in eight games as they fell 3-0 to Slovenia.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
