Montenegro vs. England: Three Lions Poised to Deliver Three Points
England take on Montenegro in their second-to-last match of the Euro 2012 qualifying rounds. It will be a comfortable match as the Three Lions will control the pace and deliver a knockout punch.
There is not a lot of confidence that can be gained from Montenegro just by playing at Stadion Pod Goricom. The English have not been the most stout side at home, after all.
The Three Lions are far more keyed in on the road, and their players are hungry to dismiss Montenegro and get on to next year's tournament.

England needs but a tie at Montenegro on Friday, the same result they were issued last year at Wembley. Fabio Capello has a spry side that will be chomping at the bit to put the notion that they would lose the group aside.
This match is about pride, and it also has something to do with Wayne Rooney. The striker is keyed in at the moment, which is remarkable, considering what he has been through in the last couple of days.
Fox Sports reported Wayne's father and uncle were arrested on suspicion of betting irregularities. Certainly, lesser things have weighed on athletes' minds before. However, John Terry tells reporters just how keyed in Rooney is.
"Wayne's focused on the game tomorrow. We all realize the importance of that. As I've said before, it's important for him to go out and play his football, which he loves doing. Tomorrow's game is the most important thing and we all realize that and appreciate how difficult the game is going to be.
"
This is a side that will not take Montenegro lightly. They are well aware that other countries like Germany, Italy and Spain have already taken care of their groups.
The Three Lions are on a continuous journey to prove they are one of the big boys. With a deft attack and spry winger in Ashley Young, England has the tools to make quick work of Montenegro.
It is all about will and the little things with England. Away from Wembley, the Three Lions will be a more cohesive side, delivering the three points they know they deserve.
