Well done, England!

Joe Cole scored an outstanding goal, assisted by a header from Peter Crouch (who has a good game in general, although he picked up a stupid booking in the dying seconds which rules him out of the Israel game in September). David Beckham picked up a knock early on and had a very subdued first half, then came back for the second half (with, unbeknown to the watching England fans, his leg wrapped up in cotton wool or whatever it was) and provided superb deliveries to set up goals for Crouch and Michael Owen (who otherwise gave a fair performance, but seemed to be lacking match fitness). England's defence had a number of wobbly moments (although John Terry was on hand to preserve England's clean sheet when the need arose), and Estonia saw rather more of the ball in dangerous areas than England fans would have ideally liked.

To be fair to Estonia, they defended stoutly and took advantage of England's open gameplay to keep alive Estonian hopes of at least a consolation goal.

You may not have enjoyed their tactics, but Estonia at least did themselves some credit tonight. Still, we beat them. And next we will beat Israel, and after that we will beat Russia. After that, Estonia can try their luck against us again in October (and we will beat them). We aspire (albeit a little optimistically) to be invincible.
