England 1
Beckham 60
Ecuador 0
The England team defied a gamble on Ecuador by the football betting public, to squeeze through to the last 16 of the fifa World Cup, with a hard fought 1-0 win over Ecuador.
# Beckham Quality
A trademark free-kick from the England captain David Beckham seperated the sides. A perfectly struck ball, just inside the post, the Ecuador keeper could do nothing about the goal. Those calling for Beckham to be dropped are almost batting for the other side. Go ask Ecuador or any other team for that matter, if they would prefer to see the 3 lions trot out without Beckham in the team.
# Rooney Class Act
Rooney could not have done much more today. Up front on his own, he lasted the full 90 minutes(+3) and had the Ecuador captain Ivan Hurtado stretched from the getgo, right until the final whistle. A quality performance from a world class footballer.
# Carrick Man Of The Match
Carrick was arguably the man of the match. Carrick, playing the holding role between the back four and the midfield, was outstanding with his quality passing. Surely the Spurs midfielder Carrick has booked himself a starting spot against the Dutch or the Portuguese in the final 16.
# Ashley Cole Outstanding
Ashley Cole had a stormer at left back. Ashley has'nt played that much football this season. He may just be running himself into tip-top form judging by todays performance. We shall see.
Come on England!

You know, I listened to Talksport with Durham yesterday, and one bloke came ojn and said that that was the worst England performance since 1966.
What the f*ck are some people on? We're in the last 8, and we're still slagging off the team. I truly believe that some people want us to lose just so they can have a go at Sven.
The thing is, as far as I'm concerned there hasn't been any outstanding performances this year so far, and even Argentina have been rocked by lesser teams.
We're just too quick to praise other countries and too happy to slag off our own. God it pisses me off.
