I was surprised with the ease in which England beat Poland. However England have a long way to go to before they can convince me that they are potential champions.
Elsewhere the reigning World and European champions, Spain, qualified after beating Georgia by two goals to nil.
Spain's team is stronger than ever and they even recently gave the Swansea City player Michu his first international call up. To me they are one of the teams to beat.
In the African qualification section, Ghana beat Egypt by six goal to one. This was an outstanding performance by Ghana.
It is not often that Ghana wins game with such an emphatic scoreline. I think that Michael Essien return to the team has boosted the midfield and made them more clinical in front the goal.
It should hopefully mean that the away leg in Egypt will be a is just a formality and Ghana would hopefully have qualified for their World Cup.
