Israel V England 24th March 2007

England face Israel at the end of March in a must win game. We may only be 7 points off the top of Group E, but with Israel, Russia and Crotia in the leading positions, England can not afford to let the gap increase.

Location:
Ramat Gan Stadium was completed in 1951 and serving as Israel's largest stadium ever since, this all-seated stadium contains 41,583 seats, 13,370 of which are located in the Western Tribune, completed in 1982 - at the time the stadium went through a major refurbishing process.
