Toughest game?
Was the game against Ukraine at Wembley on Tuesday night the 'toughest' that England will face in their world cup qualifying campaign?
Joleon Lescott seems to think so: 'it was our toughest game, I felt, in the Euros, and they showed again what a good team they are.
'There's no easy games in the group but we felt that we probably got our toughest one out of the way.
'They're a good team and our biggest threat in the group also.'
Whilst we would be expect to qualify top of this group, over expectancy or not, Poland and Montenegro are not exactly going to be pushovers are they either - although it is 'probably' Ukraine that will push us hardest in the race to be group winners.
I would say that trips to both Poland and Montenegro will be difficult.
Although I reckon that the trip to Ukraine itself will be our 'toughest game' so have to say I disagree with the Man City man here...

I do wonder if Ukraine will be easier at home, as they might need to come at us as opposed to playing us on the counter, which they do very well.

and there might be far greater pressure from their home fans, so 'perhaps' with the benefit of hindsight lesoctt might have a point?
