We are through!!!!!! :P :P :P :P :P

Yeah we're through thats all that matters - but I thought Beckham played better this game not just because he scored but in general

That was brutal stuff altogether.
Thank God for Ecuador is right. It was considerate of them to start furiously wasting time after Inkland got their goal. Did anyone mention it to them that if they lose this they are out?

As usual, the Guardian has it right with "I think Fifa should just declare Mexico the winner of this game and have them advance, as well as Argentina". Seriously dull stuff compared to yesterday.

And, why did Sven leave that poor bloke on throwing up all over the pitch for so long? Does England really not have a player better than Beckham completely wrecked, doubled up, wretching and puking all over the shop?

So who next Holland or Portugal?

Let's take a serous look at today shall we ??

Right, a big minus, we were saved by the woodwork (thanks to Mr Cole for his input there). Other than that, Equador never really looked like scoring, only 1 other shot on target I thnk.

Joe Cole, somebody tell him that "simple also works"...
Lampard - shooting boots next game please mate....

Plus points:

Hargreaves had another pretty good game
Ashley Cole was pretty good
Carrick was excellent
Becks played a "Captains game", even though he wasn't on top form, he still put in 100% and pulled off another good goal

Oh yeah, and we won.....

Holland or Portugal

You better hope its Portugal or the Dutch will show you the door.

Doesn't quite work like that, Holland are a more reliable team but sometimes anyone can be beat by the underdog. Wouldn't necessary describe Portugal as the underdog but if you had to you would bet Holland to win.

To prove a point Holland have had a clear possession advantage yet at half time 1-0 to Portugal.

If Portugal hang on now with 10 men that doesn't mean they were the better team, just sometimes the game goes like that.

oh right. thanks for that
