World Cup Report 4, Day 7

ENGLAND ADVANCES TO THE KNOCKOUT ROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to excellent late finishing by Liverpool superstars Peter Crouch and Steven Gerrard England ran off with 2-0 victory over the Soca Warriors (Trinidad & Tobago) to book their place in the next round of competition.

Sweden also went on to win, 1-0 over Paraguay, as Arsenal's own Freddie Llunberg found a late goal. Paraguay will be going home after match three, but the group is still open as a 3 goal margin of victory, and Sweden loss, in the last matches would see T&T make it out of the group phase.

All in all, England could have finished with 5 or 6 goals as they had the lion's share of shots/possesion. A few tense moments when T&T looked to breakthrough will give the Lions something to work on before the next round.
