Great game, great result, fantastic performances from all concerned. It's a good thing the
English make up for in spirit and determination, what it, perhaps, lacks in quality. But
why do we only pull out all the stops when Argentina, Germany or Holland are the
opposition ? We had Sweden on the rack the other day and completely lost the plot. Today
we were well organized, threatening in attack and resolute in defence. Even for those
final 30 minutes of Argie pressure, we didn't look too panic stricken . Seaman finally got
back to his very best and snuffed out all the dangerous crosses. Ferdinand was awe
inspiring. Campbell was less so, but still very good.
All I want to know is why we save these tremendous performances for the major opposition.
Who can see England falling at the final qualification hurdle (Nigeria) ? Let's hope this
is the boost that starts the ball rolling to a World Cup final.

DOH ! Wrong group. Sorry. I was all e***d at Englands win against Argentina in the
World Cup.

We might have to if we meet the U.S.A. in the later stages. They did well the other day
beating Portugal 3-2.

The USA also beat england 1 - 0 in the first World Cup after the 2nd World
war...
Stranger things have happened!

Mind you, the last time England beat Argentina was in 1966 :o)

cheers

Off-topic, but true. I have no idea why the rest of my firm
supported Argentina (I'm German ;-), but this was one
fascinating and emotional match. Kudos to Becks for keeping it
cool all through, and the rest of your side for beating the
Argies.

Should you come through to play Germany, you can guess who I'll
be rooting for: England (too bad the scottish did not make it
though).

Good job!

Uwe

Damn fantastic! Being a true Brit an' all... With Portugal, France and
Argentina looking at increasingly difficult group matches to just get
through to the next phase of the tournament, I think we stand a great chance
of getting to the semis at least. That is if any of our strikers actually
score any goals :-)

I had to tape that game because it came on in the middle
of the night in Canada and i'm glad i did. I thought Owen
played great and i got my fingers crossed for England to
go all the way i just wish Canada would get it's arse in gear
and start playing soccer the way we play hockey.

It was on at 7:30am here in Ontario. Being an expatriate Brit I made sure I
got up on time.

Woah - watch yourself. You might upset the Scots, English, Ulstermen, ...
who read this if you suggest being a Brit is the same as being (yeuch -
(-: ) english.

Didn't you watch those old Davey Crockett tv shows? Surely the schools
in Michigan would have taught about the sucessionist movement that burned in
Texas? If the Mexican's had not pressed the issue and forced Texas to
accept federal help, we might only have 49 states...
