England are second favourites now to win behind brazil
I was at work during the game so I didn't see much apart from the highlights. We looked like we were of great form though, and Denmark look quite good too.
I was amazed when out forman announced that it was 1-0 - and only after JUST 5 minutes or so!! And I then thought I was dreaming when I heard it was next 2-0, and then 3-0!!! And all before half-time too!
It was dead at work, we had 2 pairs of customers during the match - that's all! I also tried not to watch too much of the match there as I knew i'd go and watch it when I got home.
Great game though - and probably the last good result England see in this World Cup.
Sven will have some tough choices of who to play up-front when the next crop of strikers come through including Smith, Defoe and Jansen.
International caps: 28
International goals: 4
Not great.
Not only that, but Heskey's shot was not good. Sorrenson should have stopped it, it was to his near post and not particularly far away from him. Not a great shot considering Heskey had a couple of space around him and no excuse not to be able to pick his spot.
And he failed to score a 1v1, hitting the ball at the keeper instead of taking amn extra touch to get around him.
If he scores goals, I'm happy. I couldn't care how badly he plays. However, I don't think that goal really showed him to be a 'great' player. Certainly not one worthy of playing for the second favourites to win the world cup.
What about Italy, Spain and Mexico?

Not too likely though.
