England won against Japan by 2 goals to 1. All the three goals came from 2 japenese players. England won, but with a poor performance.
Last few days in newspaper i read, many of coach or football star think that England will be a big threat in the coming world cup. But from the match yesterday, to win the world cup England still got a lot of works to do.
The first-half was dull. Not created many chances. I feel that Walcolt and Lennon can done better. They didn't really help or create chance for Rooney and Bent to have a look on goal. A.Cole played well to support in the left side.
The second half saw Stevie, J.Cole, Wright-Phillips, Carragher and hart came in to the field. Stevie and Joe brought a lot of energy to the team. Some delightful passing between Stevie and Rooney make the match more interesting in the next 45-minutes. Lampard misses a penalty but fortunately 2 own goals by Japanese players gave the victory to England team. One was a cross suppplied by Joe Cole, and the second own goal was assisted by A.Cole. Japan played well in the match. They cut-down a lot of passes created by England's players. In the second half, Joe Hart make 2 or 3 important save to keep England in the match. Would he be the first choice goalkeeper?

What a big gift from Japan! England's performance is always inconsistent. They would have to improve their psychological and physical stability in order to become a really BIG threat for the campaign.
