Uruguayan Sunrise?

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Just like forty years ago, perhaps, when England and Uruguay played
to a dour draw in the opening match of the 1966 World Cup,
in this 2006 pre-Cup friendly, the lads one-nothing down,
scrambling for an equalizer – Crouch headed in,
and in injury time, Joe Cole’s net bulger! Saving
Sven another embarrassment – England win,
but only just. Will the team fizzle and fail,
the English failing? So lacklustre; lack
consistency. And aargh, rated
below the United States???
Or will this be England’s
year once
more??
