A Scrambled victory Smile by the English Soccer Prodigies and Prodigals

A nervous English Camp lined the victoty smile atlast. A Decisive goal by Peter Crouch and another gem of a goal by Steven Gerrard saw the English men home smiling and rocking. Not before Trinadad and Tobago have milked the best out of them, with the brits running out of all options and finally let injured and still healing sensation Rooney smell some grass. A Sloppy start by England sent furious crowd to boo them out of the feild at the stroke of half time. Things could have been worse if John Terry hasn't born and played soccer and let his right foot in between the Goal post favoring Trinadad and Tobago and the striker. Thats one "helluva" save. And about Crouch, Even the Genius of Beckham's free kicks could not inspire thy dumb head and heart. He was all over the place literally, still couldn't let the ball have a date with the net when were looking ominous for the same. He surely deserves a pat on his back for scoring England's first goal and a big kick on his butt for letting down all those wonderful chances where even a school boy would have thrived raining goals. Crowd booing the English strategy continuing wihtout Rooney till half time, was another stain of crow shit on the griffin. Whats more!!! Ronney replaces Owen, the man known to be the Pele for England being replaced and not the guilty Crouch. Two more came in Lennon and Downing. Lennon doing goods to the decision of sending him in rightly by his immaculate and precise passes near the 'D' area. Hats off to him on his pass to Steven Gerrard to hook England 2-0.Still why Crouch when they were in dire straits till 82" min. There he had an answer atlast and a timely jump or rather a limp towards the skipper's masterful kick. England leading 1-0. Crouch delighted and atlast gave justice for his sloppy performance.At the stroke of stoppage time, the man who has been under utilized as one would beleive, Steven Gerrard, the man for the moment came up with possibly the best goal so for in the world cup. English think tank has got serious reviving to be done to replace Gerrard in Lampard's position with the latter being all over the place aiming the crowd more than the net when it comes to zooming the ball to score a goal. England finishing the match with 2-0 with much of struggle against a not so formidable under dogs Trinanda and Tobago.Albeit, the English if at all want to have their names and hands on the FIFA cup by beating bigger teams, they got to add more thoughts and fire to their strategies and few more of the same on to the butt of sloppy customners like Crouch and Lampard. David Bechkam unarguably the Man of Match. The Phoenix of England raising to the moment once again.
