PARIS: The established order was respected in Europe on Wednesday night as top nations Italy, England, Germany and Spain all claimed victories to round off the year's 2010 World Cup qualifiers.
England had the most to smile about as their 3-1 victory in Belarus meant they had won four matches out of four, while Germany beat Wales 1-0, world champions Italy had a 2-1 win over Montenegro, and European champions Spain won 2-1 in Belgium.
