1 - 0 to England. Hah, completely deserved. Paraguay have had hardly any chances to breach England's seemingly rock-solid defence; they've not been able to do this even through their occasional set-pieces (few and far between anyways). Poor Paraguay went to pieces the first 16 minutes or so. I didn't expect Gamarra to score an own goal -- he's such a veteran, and he's their captain too, right? (Not sure.)

Well, I hope England convert more of their many chances into goals, and make this a real thrilling game. The ref. really seems to have something against poor Crouch, so I hope he scores too.

Edit: Croyles, at the rate both teams are going -- probably.
