  yeah i would, england have played boring football in recent tournaments so i'd rather watch russia, they have some exciting wingers in zhirkov, bystrov, torbinsky while the last exciting english winger i've seen was peter beagrie and he was 41 and playing for bradford.
  
  although they're not as total football under hiddink as hiddink's previos side, but still exciting enough.

  i think only if Cole ask Ben Haim to purposely lose the match then considered bribery.
  
  But this time Cole's just giving Ben incentive to play extra hard to win the game. I cant remember, but a few months back a Chairman publicly came out to say he offered money to other teams to play even better against their rivals.

  No it a reward! Bribery would be throwing the match in one's favour... He is asking him to win not lose... Can or not its still not guaranteed, but throwing a match is easier.
