Synopsis
Coverage of the opening game in England's campaign to qualify for Euro 2004. In the first of two matches England will play within four days, Sven-Goran Eriksson's men will be aiming for maximum points in this Group Seven clash against a team they have never played before and which lost 0-3 to Turkey in their own opening match. Formerly part of the old Czechoslovakia national side, Slovakia do not have a great record against stronger international sides while England must win their group to be assured of an automatic place at the tournament finals in Portugal.
