England 1 Belgium 0: Oh Danny Boy! It's not too pretty, but Three Lions' confidence is building

Ashley Cole made a late block to deny Chelsea club-mate Romelu Lukaku an equaliser and was hugged by Hart as a result.

On the break, Jermain Defoe hit a post and then the side-netting. There will be grumbles from purists about the international team resembling Fulham-lite.

But four of their past five games have been won with clean sheets against decent teams; Spain, Sweden, Norway and Belgium. One-nil to the In-ger-land.
