England squeaks into round of 16

England's squad of sick, arthritic nuns put on a weak performance against Trinidad and Tobago today. At times, I wondered if these guys were actually the team on the field:

The first half (which I watched at lunchtime in a local restaurant . . . beside a loud and enthusiastic table full of T&T fans) featured some terrible finishing by England's forwards. T&T had a couple of really good chances and England was very lucky that they didn't go into the break trailing by two.

The second half featured goals by Crouch and Gerrard, giving England a 2-0 finish and automatic advance into the round of 16. There's a match report on the FIFA website here.
