Go, England!

Last week saw the latest international break for soccer. Japan played a World Cup qualifier on Friday, winning 4–0 in Tajikistan after a rather depressing first half. Meanwhile, in Europe, a lot of friendlies were played. One of those was England versus Spain at Wembley. Everyone assumed that England would lose, because these last few years, although England usually does well in qualifying, they usually lose when laying a top team such as Holland, Brazil, France, Spain, and so on.

Apparently, this time was similar in the first half: Spain had possession for most of the time, and England wasn't able to mount any good attacks. Luckily, though, Spain wasn't able to convert their possession into a goal, and England scored a goal with a quick attack, winning 1–0.
