England off to a winning start!
It’s been a great opening to the World Cup! Two days gone and already a host of good matches and some great goals!
England got underway in great form today against Paraguay…for the first 45 minutes. We were great in the first half, Joe Cole particularly lookened likely to threaten on every attack.
We could have had a few goals but went in at half time only 1-0 up.
The second half was lacklustre to say the least, I’ll put it down to the heat, it was a scorching day and the players must have felt it. Our key players, Gerrard, Lampard, Cole and Beckham were all subdued during the second half and England were just defending in numbers for large periods.
However! We came away with the 3 points, and that’s what really counts. With Sweden drawing against Trinidad & Tobago, we’re now in prime position to make it through the group stage.
Come on England!
