Oh what a night! A scriptwriter could not have written it. The game was over and into 'Fergie' time. Cometh the hour, cometh Zidane. Beckham and Lampard conspired to score a great goal but then Becks missed the penalty. That was the turning point and Becks must take the rap. If he had scored it, it was game over. The timing and class of Zidanes' two strikes was impeccable. A great night to cherish forever, even though it's not the knockout, alongside: Southgate '96, Batty '98, Petrescu 2000 and RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRONALDINHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 2002. Credit England, however, for their part in the best game yet in the tournament.
May they soon be safely home. All the best lads.
