World Cup

Well, how do we feel now?  The Belgian match didn't tell us anything - it was our B-side against their B-side with nothing much riding on it.  But the Columbia game was a different kettle of fish.  We did lay to rest our penalty-shoot-out hoodoo but in my book we should have put the tie to bed well inside 90 minutes,  My concern is that our goals are mainly coming from penalties - in open play we don't seem to have the skill or guile to cut through defences.  And Sweden - who we meet next - are a very good defensive side...
