England VS Trinidad&T

2-0 lol

fantastic start by England, Trinidad&T didn't touch the ball for the first minute and 36 seconds lol. eh funny rofl Ashley Cole didn't even wear his soccer shoes properly for the first 5 minutes or so and he had to keep putting them back on. the commentator remarked that England showed good pace. still 0-0 at half time, and Terry pulled off an unbelievable save. forgot which guy he from Trinidad&T and he dribbled past even Robinson the gk and nearly placed the ball in the back of the net when Terry rammed the ball overhead and he landed in the net area lol. and yet again when the ball came back to England's penalty area, Terry again i think shot the ball away to the midfield, putting England out of danger. he deserves much credit for that close save. also when Wayne Rooney came on at 57 minutes, replacing Owen (second time he got substituted in two games alrd), the whole crowd was cheering. Lampard had 3 shots on goal and all were saved or sth what a pity. then of course, the two rather surprising late goals. in the 83rd minute, Beckham dribbled the ball down the right flank and crossed it to Crouch who was in the penalty area, who headed the ball into goal, making it 1-0. 8 minutes later, one minute into stoppage time (90 + 1), Gerrard dribbled down the centre, past a few defenders, and fired from long range into the back of the net, giving the Trinidad&T goalkeeper no chance. if you saw the replay, you'll see that the ball was out of his reach.

in the beginning i didn't think much about this match, but guess it looks like England possibly might have a good chance in this World Cup.

tonight's matches:

Argentina vs Serbia & Montenegro 9pm Friday 16th June
Netherlands vs Ivory Coast Saturday midnight 17th June
Mexico vs Angola Saturday 3am 17th june
if i didn't see wrongly

the first match should be interesting.
