I thought Abbondanzieri played a blinder ! He made some seriously quality saves. Still not too keen on big P Crouch in the set up, i think he still has a hell of a lot to prove. I understand he only had ten mins on but he has had a bad season so far. My current verdict is that he is far overated. Would prefer to see Darren Bent given a go!
Give him a slap!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes. He was good meanwhile, But not all the time. His goalkeeping-technique was very weird and he saved weirdly with the chest a couple of times.
Still, Leo Franco is a much better goalkeeper and Argentina substituted their best defender Ayala.
England played very well tonight, But it's pretty obvious that the Argentine players is much faster than the english-defenders. But yeah, It's a friendly game and I will not start to talk shit about Englands and Argentinas performance.
Very well done by England too beat Argentina tonight. They've got Michael Owen, A true goalscorer who won the game for England in the last minutes.
Congrats

That was a great game to watch. Argentina are a better team but again England show they don't need possession to win matches.

Phil Neville and Ashley Cole, the REGULAR defenders on England's back flanks weren't even playing today. Why Sven is persisting with Rio "I don't know what's going on" Ferdinand baffles me. Put Saul in with Terry...or have Ledley back on defence. With a back four of Neville, Saul Campbell, Terry and Ashely Cole, these defensive problems apparent today won't be much of a concern. Keep Rio in there and disaster is bound to happen. Robinson proved again why he's England's number 1. Let's keep James as far away from the WC as possible.
Good win though. This spring is going to be marvellous.
