England started off slow, but finished off with a bang. by half-time, the score was still 0-0 and i was wondering if i was wasting my precious sleep time. Plus, there was one moment where England nearly ended up 1 down. i realised that goalkeepers always give me near heart attacks. Take Paul Robinson for example. it was a Trinidad&Tobago corner kick i think. Robinson was unable to get his hands on the ball, fell flat, and couldn't quite manage to pick himself up. With Stern's header, the ball looked set to cross the line. Thankfully, John Terry was there to make a superb goalline clearance.


Trinidad & Tobago are not bad know. They held Sweden to a 0-0 draw. i think Eriksson was starting to worry so Plan B was to put Rooney in and see if he could turn the tides. tho his performance wasn't spectacular, this would probably help him warm-up for the bigger games.


i was thinking of going off to sleep already when Becks took this corner kick. he'd already taken many corner kicks before but all were fruitless. this one proved to be different tho. Peter Crouch was poised ready... then, GOAL! Ah, finally. i wanted Crouch to score, heh, to see his famous (or infamous?) RoboCrouch dance.

Crouch's header. First goal.

But he disppointed me. He didn't do it. owell at least England was leading, after such a long wait. and Gerrard wrapped it up very nicely with one of his trademark long-shoot goals. final score: England 2-0 Trinidad & Tobago.


Many of the English players played really well and deserved to be man of the match..



Becks, pacing the game well and created the first goal with his perfect cross.


Lennon, proved himself good enough to be on the starting line-up. Excellent passes.


Lampard, tho he missed several times, i'd give him credit for his countless efforts.
