There were a few raised eyebrows when Sven was named as England's first foreign coach, but his record is excellent, with just three defeats in 33 competitive matches.

Of Sven's 23 wins in competitive action, the highlight is arguably the 5-1 win over Germany in Munich, where a Michael Owen hat-trick and further goals from Steven Gerrard and Emile Heskey completed an unforgettable night.

Friendly matches have often been used to blood new players, but Sven's England proved they can mix it with the best in November, coming back from 2-1 down against Argentina to win 3-2.
