Wow, what a fantastic match -- all I can say is "Nes Gadol Hayah Sham". I was dead proud of West Ham's own Trevor Sinclair coming on as a surprise sub for the injured Owen Hargreaves just 19 minutes in -- he created chances, he put in 110%, and he deserves as much credit as anyone for the win. Having said that, England's defending was just phenomenal. All credit to Nicky Butt, who played out of his skin, as well as the impeccable central defensive duo of Rio Ferdinand and Sol Campbell. It was so heartening to see Campbell's massive frame back there, ready to lunge in and clear the ball whenever it got anywhere near him. And you could see Argentina succumb to fear once Owen put that shot off the post...after that, they would do anything to stop him, and the result was the decisive penalty. Plus the spirit at Fado was just great, even though they didn't start serving pints until 7am. Can't wait until the Nigeria match on the 12th, which we *must* win. ...so far, it's been a really enjoyable World Cup. (Oh, well done USA as well...an epochal victory for them, to be sure). |
