Argentina 2 England 3

Was this so good?

I think yes for the following reasons :-

1. England had a couple of second-rate full backs at the start.

2. Rooney was very unlucky not to score when he hit the post.

3. The first Argentinian goal would have been cut out by a fit left back.

4. Rooney should have had a penalty.

So perhaps the result was fait, even if it was a bit close.

Perhaps we should play Stephen Gerrard as a full back, so that Ledley King can play the holiding role? I don't know, but there are a lot of questions like that that we can use to pressure opposition.

And how about Darren Bent as another marauding forward and Jermaine Defoe to swap for Owen as required.

It looks good.
