England win Geneva thriller

England have tonight beaten one of the favourites for the World Cup next year Argentina in Geneva. The match, although it was a friendly was an absoulote thriller and it was also played on very good spirits (and that is very surprising for a England V Argentina game). Argentina took the lead during the first half when Chelsea striker Hernan Crespo tapped home from a Maxi Rodriguex cross. But Wayne Rooney cancelled that goal out with a decetn finish to put the sides level. But a smart free-kick put Argentina back in front. Juan Roman Riquelme chipping the ball over the England wall and only for Walter Samuel to nod it home past Paul Robinson.


But a Micheal Owen brace gave England the win. His first was a cool header past the Aregntina keeper after former Liverpool team mate Steven Gerrard whipped a beautitful ball into the box and Joe Cole just missed the header but Owen was their to finish off. Hi second was yet again a lovely cool header after Joe Cole chipped the ball into the box and their was Owen again to send the England fans home happy. Final score: England 3-2 Argentina.

What an great game, and just to remind you I don't usally get to excited about friendlies. The only thing I was sad about England winning was that they are now going to be saying that they are definetly going to win the World Cup next year, although I think they have an outside chance of winning the cup next year. England and Argentina both played very very well.
