here's England's best two chances in the first half. so close to the post on this one...



on this one if he had TRAPPED the ball then shot he would have scored. instead he played it out of the air and hit a horrid shot. he had all the time in the world.....

51 mins: Steven Gerrard is caught in possession and Stern John breaks over halfway. Trinidad and Tobago win a free-kick but it sails out for a goal-kick off Dwight Yorke's right boot.

49 mins: An attacking throw-in to England from which they opt to work the ball back to Paul Robinson. It's the second half and they've changed the direction they're attacking but it's not certain they know it!

47 mins: The early signs are that England did not get a half-time rollicking from Sven-Goran Eriksson or find a secret stash of kryptonite in the changing room. It's moribund stuff summed up by an aimless Ashley Cole pass to... nobody.

56 mins: Cyd Gray goes through Michael Owen to earn a yellow card. From the resultant free-kick Owen guides a free header wide from six yards.

55 mins: Peter Crouch has been watching too many videos of Ronaldinho. He flicks up a low pass from Ashley Cole but mis-directs the overhead kick high of the goal. That bit is not Ronaldinho.

53 mins: Trinidad and Tobago are playing with great confidence and Chris Birchall almost plays in Kenwyne Jones with a slide-rule pass.

England certainly controlling the game

I guess from the photos that we're talking about football?

63 mins: The stats show that England have had 16 shots but not many have been on target. Frank Lampard is booked for a foul on Brent Sancho.

61 mins: Aaron Lennon's introduction means David Beckham is the man to drop into the defensive line at right-back as and when it is needed.

60 mins: Aaron Lennon's turn of pace easily sees off his marker but he scoops his cross high over the penalty area.

59 mins: "The introduction of Wayne Rooney and Aaron Lennon has galvanised England's fans, with David Beckham moving into a deeper role to accommodate the introduction of the Spurs youngster. At least this substitution shows more imagination than against Paraguay, but it also hints at growing desperation."
Phil McNulty, BBC Sport in Nuremberg

58 mins: It's change time. It's Rooney time and the fans love it. Wayne Rooney replaces Michael Owen - an obvious change. The other one's a bit more bizarre with Aaron Lennon coming on for Jamie Carragher, meaning England move to three at the back.

73 mins: It's helter-skelter stuff going back and forth. Dwight Yorke breaks forward with only the back-pedalling Ashley Cole for company but the Arsenal man makes a telling tackle to kill the move. Wayne Rooney breaks but the ball goes out on the left.

71 mins: England are on the back foot. John Terry blocks a Carlos Edwards shot and the men in white clear the danger.

69 mins: Trinidad and Tobago coach Leo Beenhakker makes his first change, Cornell Glen coming on for Kenwyne Jones.

68 mins: David Beckham flights a cross in from the right. Peter Crouch heads over.

67 mins: Wayne Rooney loses possession in an attacking area and Trinidad and Tobago break but a wayward final pass goes out for an England throw.

65 mins: Brent Sancho clatters into Wayne Rooney. It won't have been a comfortable moment for his club manager Sir Alex Ferguson, wherever the Scot's watching. The striker bounces back to his feet and dusts himself down.

David Beckham - love him!!!!!!!!!!
