England 1 Paraguay 0: Why didn't I watch yesterday's games instead?

So I had to watch this while holding the cable connection in place with one hand, which has got to be unhealthy in some way. Was it worth it? No. That second half was hideous, both teams quite happy to let the early Paraguayan own goal stand alone. The English backline were standing way deep and a better team than Paraguay would have made more of the attacking possession they were gifted. Beckham set up the goal and Joe Cole played well when he wasn't lying down, but the English midfield generally weren't putting the ball in the right place. Crouch and Owen didn't fit together at all.
