England beat Trinidad and Tobago,but just about
Final score
England 2 --Trinidad and Tobago 0
Scorers :Peter Crouch and Steven Gerrard.
England today were unconvincing and the Soca Warriors may feel a little hard done by the final result considering the way they thwarted England time and again.
The pair of Michael Owen and Crouch struggled.Owen got subbed for the second time in as many games.Crouch missed some really simple shots but his eventual header made amends for all his misses. Owen is not at all showing the form which made him one of England's most feared strikers.
Jamie Carragher struggled to fill the boots of Gary Neville and could not match his surging runs forward and the crosses.
Frank Lampard left his shooting boots in England and had about 7 to 8 shots on goal,but to no avail. Steven Gerrard scored and this is a reminder to Eriksson to play him in a more attacking role rather than DM,where coming upfront is a luxury for him
Rooney had an ordinary game by his standards but both Aaron Lennon and he brought in an extra spark in England's attack in the second half.
England's backline had an otherwise good day with John Terry producing some wonderful defending to ensure that they kept their clean sheets.
The media will be happy with this win,but England need to buck up. They need to get their scoring boots on,otherwise they can kiss goodbye to any chances of winning this WC
