White has a strong pawn on e5, which hinders black to complete his  development. Therefore the Englund gambit is considered as incorrect by most GM's.

This is confrimed also by all variants that I have seen.

Can catch players unaware (I destroyed someone in blitz with it).

But one for live chess I think - as Mandelshtam points out, against good play black gets little for the gambit.

See http://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-openings/englund-gambit2 for an example of an Englund gambit in action
