Trinidad & Tobago v England - 2nd Half

Well, if this match was a dog you would have had it put it down, until the final twenty minutes we were awful, too tense, playing too much non-penetrative football and until David Beckham put one of his trademark crosses over for the Giraffe it didn't look like we would score. Michael Owen again looked unfit and if Sweden and Paraguay draw tonight I wouldn't be surprised if some of these players are rested for the final game next week. Stevie G scored past Shaka in the last minute yet again and for the sheer possession we had in that final twenty minutes I suppose we deserved the win. I can't think of any plus points other than the three we got for winning, Lennon came on but didn't really cause their left back too many problems and Rooney was just easing himself into the tournament. Oh and apparently Stewart Downing came on but he only touched the ball once.


Relief all round

  • I felt a bit queezy in the 2nd half, a few to many almosts.
