It was only due to a penalty.
Whilst I'm happy that strangers representing "my" country in a sports tournament have beaten an opposing team, I wonder what might have happened if that penalty had not been awarded?
Was nice to see someone spewing claret from their nose though.
Make them earn that obscene wage.
And in other news, teachers in New York are protesting at the cutting of almost $2million from the education department budget with the fear that many inner city school will have to close.

Yep, going towards the new "Central Agency" to deal with terrorism.
Which, I guess, means they'll be cutting back on insurgence funding for the CIA death-squads in Nicaragua, El Salvador and Chile?

Definately deserved.
We outplayed them for 75% of the game and had numerous chances.
It's a shame we didn't score from open play though cos it is always better to score that way than from the spot.
The Argies deserved it after laughing at our players in '98.

Not really because the odds are a lot less if you only have to get 1 in instead of the shoot-out.
And England has never missed all the balls in a penalty shoot-out.
England won thanks to Owen diving and Beckham being mere yards from the goal.
*claps*
Wheras England played like a bunch of grannies against Sweden with no penalty decision.

Im glad we won but towards the end we let the Argentians come at us way to much. We did not go in for the tackles we let them run at us and it nearly cost us if it was not for David Seamen.
England's history with penaltied in major tournaments makes it even more deserved!
Deserved schmeserved.
Ball is feet away, you take a run up and it's 50/50 that it goes in.
When not handed the chance on a plate, it's bouncing off posts and going wide.

Well you don't usually!
So it was a penalty. It's all part of the game. They fouled, we scored. A goal is a goal, whether from open play, penalty spot, or deflected off goalkeepers butt! We scored, they didn't - hence a deserved win! :-)

"Goatboy doesn't follow football"??
Goatboy sat and watched and saw Beckham score from a few feet away from a penalty, whilst the rest of the match was spent fouling and end-to-end.
Maybe I watched a different game with lots of goals?
