At last in the World Cup England came good today and beat Slovenia 1-0 to progress into the last 16. I missed the bloomin’ goal by Jermaine Defoe in the 22nd minute because I thought kick-off was at 3.30, not 3pm. But I watched the rest of the match mostly with my breath held and my palms were actually sweating. You could just imagine the monumentous exhalation that must’ve spread through the country at around a quarter to five this early evening when the final whistle went. This is more like it. THIS is how England play.

Now, having just watched the Ghana-Germany match tonight, Germany have beat Ghana 1-0 to meet England on Sunday afternoon. More breath-holding and sweaty palms to come.
