Rooney and Ferdinand played for England who beat Wales 1-0. Giggs played for Wales, well it was a competetive match. Kieran Richardson came on as a substitute.

Scotland drew one each with Italy. Darren Fletcher was their captain.

Giggs: "Some people had said it would be a walkover but I don't think the England team ever thought that way. We knew that we had to put on a performance as England are a good team and, if we didn't, they'd be all over us.

"We realised that we let ourselves down at Old Trafford back in October when England won easily 2-0. But hopefully we've gone some way to erasing that memory."

Edwin Van der Sar and Ruud van Nistelrooy played in Holland's victory over Armenia. RVN got the only goal of the game.

Ronaldo came on a sub for Portugal in thier 6-0 win over the Luxembourg.
