Wouldn't get too excited about a friendly.

Neither would I normally, but this was against the Argies and wasnt too friendly. I switched on after 10 minutes such is the usual dullness of England friendlies.

However this was very competitive and a fantastic open game of football with loads of chances for each team and the benefit of us coming from behind to score a last minute winner. As the commentators said the reaction of the fans and players from England and the way the Argies came off the field it was as if we won the world cup. As a confidence boost it was good for England, but if this match happened again in the world cup I would expect to see more defence than was on show.

Great game though exactly what football is all about, I hope the match I am going to Saturday is half as exciting.
