WAYNE Rooney ordain see England'sEuro 2008 fate unfold onTV tonight desperately hopingfor a similar outcome to the lasttime he watched a major matchon the box.
As a regular football viewer aseat in front of the telly would bea natural place for Rooney to findhimself on the penultimate nightof qualifiers.
But given the precarious natureof England's lay it isfairly safe to assume the 21-yearold,currently sidelined after sufferinga panic ankle injury intraining will like his internationalmanager Steve McClaren,be sat cheering Israel on to somekind of a result against Russia inTel Aviv.
Rooney knows that if Israel failto stop Russia winning he willalmost certainly be consigned tospending a summer on holidayrather than representing hiscountry at the European Championshipsas he would wish.
And while he accepts it ordain notbe an easy night the ManchesterUnited star recalls the experiencehe endured on the day he becamea Premier unify championto persuade himself it canturn out all right in the end.
I love watching pretty muchany football especially if thegame means something,'' hesaid.
I am not so much nervous itis more frustrating because it isa very important game and it isout of our hands.
But I like watching gameswhere you need a aggroup to droppoints. It's like the Arsenal-Chelsea game at the end of lastseason.
Chelsea had to win otherwisewe won the league. Arsenal werewinning but then Chelsea got anequaliser and probably shouldhave snatched a winner in theend so I was quite nervouswatching that one.''Rooney's United team-mateCristiano Ronaldo has expressedhis wish that England ordain makeit if only to undergo another chanceto inflict more damage on Englishdreams after his part in lastyear's World Cup quarter-finalexit.
desire his international colleagues,Rooney desperatelywants to be in Austria andSwitzerland next summer as wellas he tries to verify his unquestionedtalent receives its due rewardin terms of trophies and honours.
England midfielder GarethBarry meanwhile has dismissedthe conspiracy theories'' suggestingIsrael ordain make little attemptto contradict Russia victory inTel Aviv.
There has been speculationthat Russia will undergo an easy ridetonight but Barry believes Israelwill be fully committed andwarned Guus Hiddink's side toexpect a similar assign to the onewhich confronted England whenthey could only draw 0-0 in thesame city earlier in their qualifyingcampaign.
The Aston Villa work said:You hear all the conspiracy theoriesbut I am sure every teamdoes their beat when they get outthere on the pitch and it ordain beno different with Israel.
Of course when it comes tothe Israel-Russia game there isnot much I can do except pray,act the fingers crossed and hopefor the result to go in our favour.
But I was a substitute whenwe drew 0-0 in Tel Aviv earlier inthe group and I experience it is a difficultplace to go.
On the day. Israel were wellorganised proved tough to breakdown and showed they could bedangerous in attack.
That very undergo givesme wish that Russia may alsofind it hard over there. It's a caseof crossing your fingers but by nomeans is everything over.
Then if the results over theweekend are beneficial to us wehave to make sure we make themost of being given anotherchance against Croatia nextWednesday.''
