LONDON -- Just like a month ago, a new England managerial era opened with a win on Saturday. In World Cup qualifying, its two wins out of two -- with two different managers.Gareth Southgate will be hoping to last longer than speedily dismissed predecessor Sam Allardyces 67 days.Theres no certainty. Far from it. The 2-0 victory over Malta on Saturday was the first of only four games Southgate knows he could have to transform perceptions of international footballs most scrutinized, yet underwhelming and ridiculed teams.Every moment patrolling the touchline, reconfiguring his tactics and explaining his decisions in public, the 46-year-old caretaker coach is being judged by the Football Association.The unassuming victory over Malta was very much in the mold of Englands new, placid manager whose character contrasts sharply with the brash and boastful Allardyce.The opponents were unambitious but so was England with a performance lacking dynamism and urgency once the lead had been established in the first half by Daniel Sturridges header from Jordan Hendersons cross, and Dele Allis strike.Theres certainly room for improvement but thats not a bad place for us to be, Southgate said.In the second half subconsciously there was a feeling the game was won and they were looking forward towards Tuesday (against Slovenia), physically.The players might be preserving their energy. But Southgate, who played at three tournaments with England, has to seize every moment if he is to lead the team into the 2018 World Cup in Russia.By next month, after more demanding on-field assignments against Slovenia, Scotland, and Spain, Southgate could be returning to the under-21s team after just 49 days with the senior side if results dont go his way, or if a more experienced coach is desired.I would have liked us to have won by the bigger scoreline, Southgate said. I want my teams to attack and I want them to play very good football. At times, some of the flicks and things didnt come off.You are playing against a 5-4-1 that limits the space and maybe we tried some passes which were too difficult at times.Southgate was also diplomatic. As interim coach, he cant afford to lose the dressing room.Im not going to be critical of the players, he said. Theyve had to pick up from two changes of managers and a complete change from the way we have worked.The first change followed the embarrassment of the European Championship in June when England was eliminated by Iceland and Roy Hodgsons hopes of a new contract ended.In came the fierce patriot whose pride at landing the job of a lifetime was not matched by his awareness of the responsibilities of holding the prestigious job. Before Allardyce had even taken charge of his first -- and only game -- in September against Slovakia, he had fallen for a newspaper sting.Once video emerged last week of Allardyce appearing to offer advice to fictitious businessmen on how to sidestep an outlawed player transfer practice, and also negotiating a 400,000 pound (about $500,000) public-speaking contract, the FA quickly parted company with him.It was the latest turbulent chapter for a country which hosts the worlds richest soccer league and has excessively high expectations for a national team whose one and only trophy came in the 1966 World Cup.And yet the fans still turn out to watch the team, even when modest, unappealing opposition come to Wembley. Southgates England managerial debut was watched by more than 80,000 in the north London stadium.Given the situation I picked up about 12 days ago, weve internally come a hell of a long way, said Southgate, whose only previous senior management job was with Middlesbrough from 2006 to 2009.---Rob Harris is at www.twitter.com/RobHarris and www facebook.com/RobHarrisReports Signed Nike NBA Jerseys . -- For the first time in two months, an opponent was standing up to Alabama.

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.
