Well, I said if it was a half-decent game I'd enjoy it, and it was indeed half a decent game. ;) The first half was excellent, though England decidedly failed to capitalise on their overwhelming possession of the ball (the stats said 58% to 42% at one point late on, but I think that was a conservative estimate). The second half, well... that's another matter altogether!

Thank heavens that's probably the hardest game of the group over with, since Paraguay have beaten both Brazil and Argentina in recent matches. Oh, and Joe Cole was man of the match for me, in case anyone was wondering.

And I'm sure I wasn't the only one amused at the beginning by the sight of Peter Crouch (who is something of a freak of nature, isn't he?) towering over little Michael Owen... ;)

Oi! Crouch is only one inch taller than my sweetie.

He does look rather gawky on the pitch, though. ;)

Poor lad, he can't help being all arms and legs. I'm just not used to him, I guess, since I don't watch Premiership football...
