BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Buildings account for 40% of all greenhouse emissions in Europe. There are over 22 million social housing households across the continent including 4 million in England. These measures will help make homes more energy efficient and help boost the economy. They will also help reduce high fuel costs.

Quotes from articles mentioning England
I'm thinking 1-0 England, Emile Heskey round about 67 minutes after a first half when England play some lovely possesion football then attacking more in the second half shutting up shop after taking the lead Kind of Italian Like :)

Disappointed Capello doesn't have the guts to drop the name players. How Rooney keeps his place in the starting line-up is outrageous, especially considering how many attacking options England have. Would rather play Lescott at left back after Ashley Cole's poor performance against Andorra. Defoe would make a better partner for Heskey then Rooney.

Capello needs to drop Lampard as he just does not do the business for England. Bring Beckham into the middle where he can play the wide balls to Walcott and J. Cole. Whilst Lampard is in the team England are always going to struggle.

I am in class at the moment and there's some talk about Lehmann Brothers...I just can't concentrate as I keep looking at the clock for the England game to start. As a Chelsea fan, I hope Lampard shows up today, as he has honestly been extremely poor. Rooney to score from a J Cole pass. England will not score more that 1 (hopefully that will be enough).
