So, here i am writing Two Numbers' second first post, if that makes sense. For my first post i thaught i'd comment on the England match versus Slovakia that happened a matter of hours ago. I thaught that i'd comment now because i will have forgotten what happened by tomorrow. So Capellos 10th 9th or whatever game it was in charge and England look pretty strong, a 2-0 loss to Spain had been forgotten as it often is and we were ready for Slovakio, errr i mean Slovakia. Allready short of strikers England fans were dissapointed when goalscorer Heskey had to go off inured, and his replacement Carlton Cole... who? Well that didn't matter anyway because he went off for Crouchy who missed the chance for the robot as JT stole his goal and was deemed offside for it.
After half time, in which England went into 1-0 up in David Beckham came on for his record breaking 109th cap for England as he came on for Aaron Lennon. He later marked the occasion with an assist headed in by the 'crazed' Wayne Rooney. The game later tailed off with Slovakia becomming less and less like the bunny on the commercials and more and more like Rick Waller running a marathon. So the game eventually finished 4-0 to England with late goals from Rooney and Lapard adding to the Slavs woes. Tantalising result for England but those injuries won't do us any favours in four days time.
Player ratings (first team only, plus Becks of course)
David James- 6-didn't have much to do, but played well.
Matthew Upson- 6-not the best i've seen him.
John Terry- 6-decent clearing up as expected, stole Crouchys goal though.
Glen Johnson- 7-decent in defense, provided an overlap for Becks.
Ashley Cole- 5-almost set up that Slavs, didn't provide much support for Downing.
Aaron Lennon- 6-looked special at times, but wasn't used to full potential.
Frank Lampard-7-provided a needed link between attack and defence, and scored
Steven Gerrard-5-noihn special, average performance from the Liverpool man.
Gareth Barry- 5-didn't know he was playing at first.
Wayne Rooey- 9-scored twice which is always helpful, ran like a nutter too.
Emile Heskey- 6-Scored the first goal, unfortunate to have to come off.
David Beckham- 6-sen the fans wild, provided a well placed cross for Rooney's first

Man of the match-Wayne Rooney
