England 2 - 0 Trinidad & Tobago


England 2 – 0 Trinidad & Tobago

Up until the 83rd minute, I had expected to write the obituary for the England Football Team. Luckily Peter Crouch nodded one in the back of the net from the usual Beckham delivery. In stoppage time, Gerrard just about validated his being picked in the team by scoring a left foot beauty.

The first half was dire! It looks like Owen is in one of his goal drought fazes and Lampard can’t buy a goal. The second half was not too bad and I guess at the end of the day England deserved the win.

It made me laugh when the T & T defender who Crouch fouled to get to the ball and score moaned about it in the post match press conference. You big girls blouse! You’re a defender, a supposed hard bloke. Stop whinging.

At least I won’t have to stay up till 2am to watch the Swedish game now that England has qualified. Bring on Germany or Ecuador.

Out of all the first round of matches, Spain looked to be the best.
