Terry wants to build on Israel win

The 3-0 win over Israel on Saturday was a good performance as well as a good result and the Chelsea defender believes that has set them up well for the second crucial clash at Wembley in four days.
"I think we need to lift our game. Russia are a much more organised side and it will be a lot tougher game. We have to rise to the challenge - we did it at the weekend and we have to do it again," said Terry.
He added: "When the pressure is on we do rise to it and from the word go the other night we put them under pressure early on. If we get something similar again against a good side (Russia) it will stop them playing.
"The confidence is there and that reassured us at the weekend. We need to maintain that level of consistency throughout the next three (qualifying) games."
England manager Steve McClaren admitted the decisions he makes will be viewed as either brave or foolish depending on the results he achieves.
"The decisions you make are the ones necessary to win the game," he said.
"It doesn't matter as long as it works. When it works you are brave and when they don't you can be foolish.
"I felt Emile could come back and help us win and he certainly helped us on Saturday.
"Peter Crouch is available again and he is a big player for us, he scores goals and it is great to have that option coming back."
