As a tribute to a good-looking dress and a Tunisian captain (as they are doing pretty badly nowadays).

Shrewsbury has been doing well since they sold their big star striker Lee Steele.... And I'm starting to wonder why the hell I can keep track of that but can't remember my one phone-number.

I've finally managed to see the game. Mills obviously has a multiple personality disorder, one minute he looks great the next he's a dud.

Dirtiest player in the game: the argentini player who gave up the penalty (Pocohontas or Pinochet or something)

Can we make it a rule not to post the scores in the thread titles.

Non-partisans? Good match. Glad I woke up for that one (4:30 am in Los Angeles)

Unlike the boring Sweden game, that looked to be an England side carrying that much talent on its books. And with Owen up for it, the English were able to press forward and get some good looks, shots on goal, in spite of not having the majority of possession. The biggest surprises for me were the sharpness of old man Teddy Sherringham, that Trevor Sinclair looked so useful, and the complete disappearance of JS Veron (perhaps he didn't want to make his United buddies look bad) . As Argentina's strategy is to literally run everything through him, it is almost impossible for him to make no impact - negative or positive, but somehow he managed. Batigol disappointed as well, but he was well marked. Danny Mills, who I wrote off after his dreadful mistake in the Sweden game which lead to the goal, stepped up in the second half, and Paul Scholes impressed. Ashley Cole was solid but not spectacular. Campbell was decent, Butts was decent, Ferdinand played great. Oh, and of course: well struck Mr. Beckham.

What I'm still deciding is was England that good or Argentina that poor?

MOTM for me: Owen.

the side looked better for Sinclair coming on, IMO, the right back was scared stiff!

i didn't think Veron was that bad, just not that good

Nope. That honour goes to Batistuta for the late tackle on Cole and the blatant elbow in Beckham's face. He was very lucky not to get sent off.

Congrats, England. A great victory!

Now in what concerns pointing and laughing. I went through the predictions on the predictions thread, and it turns out that none of you Brits actually believed in your own team. It's only two Russians (Serb and myself) and two other guys (Mercator and Earwicker) who believed in your victory.

Argentina are probably the best team in the world right now, and had a 2-year unbeaten record. There's no team in the world that faces then with confidence.

Except Italy. They can beat anybody by sheer force of not conceding goals.

Like that 17-pass movement culminating in Super Ted's magnificent volley? 0.1/10.

I predicted against England as an insurance bet. I always bet against the team I want to win - so I either get cash or the desired victory.

then i'm sure he sees the irony of supporting an 'anglo saxon' team who include Dyer, Campbell, Sinclair, Cole etc (all black)

I know we live in strange times, with the spectre of PC looming over us, but surely no-one is that faint hearted as to take real offense at the latino remark?

Perhaps that is why MikeH, supposedly a faithful subject of Her Majesty the Queen and the current leader of our contest, predicted Argentina-England 3-0. Too much of an insurance.

DISCRIMINATION! Why can't someone who supports some of the BNP's policies have a good-natured sports rivalry? Will they start foaming at the mouth at the thought of all those foreigners getting so close to Our Boys?
