Group B
England vs Paraguay in Frankfurt:
David Beckham's enticing free-kicked was flicked into his own goal by Paraguay captain,
Carlos Gamarra. Not a great game but three points for the pretenders.
England vs Trinidad &
Tobago in Nürnberg:
Two goals in the last ten minutes made the scoreline look respectable for England; but at
this stage of the game it's about points, and England have six.
Sweden vs England in Köln:
England totally dominated the first-half but their defence was a shambles at set pieces,
in the second; allowing Sweden to come back from behind twice, to keep their 38-year
unbeaten record (against England) intact.
Knockout Stage
Second Round
England vs Ecuador in Stuttgart:
Maybe not an impressive performance by England but a job done; as David Beckham's
exquisite free-kick, on the hour, was all that separated the sides.
Quarter-Final
England vs Portugal in Gelsenkirchen:
As so often happens in major tournaments, England play into extra-time with ten men then
lose out on penalties.
