watch it! the first half was brilliant - good play from both sides - Nicky Butt is playing a blinder, I expect goals from Owen. We’re doing well. My half time cheese toastie is under the grill… see you later, people. ---

_That_ is what the World Cup is all about: A world championship chess match played by world-class teams. A truly memorable tactical battle brim full of passion and commitment. Above all, IMHO, there’s little between the teams themselves but, this time – at least for 60 minutes – an England manager outwitted a contemporary. And that’s why I’m pleased for the players more than anything else. Today, at least, they had a system and tactics that did their abilities justice – and that been happening about once every five years. Andy Cole (God help me, a Gooner !) man of the match together with Nicky Butt, maybe ? The team were outstanding. The game was outstanding. Bring it on. ---

Scholes had a great game. Owen was very very dangerous around the box. Well played and a well deserved win. Well done England. ---
