A new era (continued)?

Good result for England last night, defeating Greece 4-0.
But let's put things in perspective - Greece played poorly (especially in the first half) and they're not one of the better sides in Europe these days, let alone in the world.
So overall, while England's victory was enjoyable, suffice to say...."Don't Believe The Hype."
McClaren's dream debut
England 4-0 Greece




PS: Looking at the fuss about McClaren ending Beckham's England career, let's put everything into perspective. The match against Greece was only a friendly and teams like Croatia will prove sterner opposition in the future:

UPCOMING EURO 2008 QUALIFIERS
Andorra (H) - 2 September
Macedonia (A) - 6 September
Macedonia (H) - 7 October
Croatia (A) - 11 October

By then, if Becks proves good enough to be in Real Madrid's starting 11 on a regular basis, he could find himself back in the England set-up.
However, age is now against Goldenballs and while it would be wrong to lay the blame for England's World Cup malaise solely on Becks (heck, all the players barring Owen Hargreaves were below par), he is responsible for a significant percentage of those poor performances and this has been magnified by Sven's reluctance to play anyone else in his place (like Shaun Wright-Phillips and Aaron Lennon).
McClaren is building an England team for the future (at least, he should be). I think he made the right decision.
