With Full Time jumping back to European club football this weekend, we've given a quick little run down of today Europeans qualifier results. All the big teams and some of the supporting cast make up a busy match day in Europe!
England 3-1 Switzerland (Group G)
This is the first test of the campaign for an England side who are still riding high off a 4-0 drubbing of Bulgaria on the weekend. Wayne Rooney scored in the 10th minute to get the English side off to a quick start. Lazio defender Stephen Leichsteiner was sent off in the 65th minute for the Swiss. Adam Johnson and Darren Bent added the insurance as England goes to Switzerland and takes all 3 points against a stingy Swiss defense. Their next fixture pits them against Montenegro.
Italy 5-0 Faroe Islands (Group C)
Coach Cesare Prandelli made his return to Florence and led his men to a 5 goal thrashing of the Faroe Islands. Fiorentina hitman Alberto Gilardino had the opener 11 minutes in. De Rossi, Cassano and Quagliarella all found the net before Andrea Pirlo popped in an 18 yard free kick in stoppage time. Cassano proved to be the creative cog in the Italian side once again. The former world champions travel to Northern Ireland for their next test.
