Bring on the Germans!

What a match that was! Like Capello said after it: “now I recognise my team again”. And so it was. The Three Lions found their team spirit as they had to win against Slovenia and our Stevie G. and Glen Johnson played a big role as England reached the last 16 of the World Cup.

And I even know why England won and why they'll keep on winning:

"It’s no wonder the Three Lions pulled through yesterday – it’s all down to the curse of ITV that they’ve been struggling so far. Curiously, since 1982 the Three Lions have won 62% of their World Cup games shown on the BBC – and just 30% of those on the other side. The relaxed, jocular approach of Adrian Chiles clearly wasn’t working for Fabio’s men and the knowledge that they were playing shortly after Cash In The Attic obviously spurred them on. In even better news, the BBC will be covering both the last 16 game and the quarters, so England now look safe until the semi-finals. Well worth the licence fee..." *   ;-))))

But that's still a long way to go so let's go back to yesterday's result ...
  
Slovenia – England 0:1

The lads did they job.  They did it in a brilliant way. With great spirit, commitment and passion. The team in red played like the should, like we know them and like the should have been played from the very beginning of this World Cup. 

And, yeah ... There's something that has to be mentioned: the heroic defending from John Terry...

  
Job done. Now there're the Germans to beat. Bring them on!
