 Seaman stars as England win by Rupe

this is story 290 of 368 in this topic to date
England have put themselves in the drivign seat for qualification from group F in the World Cup with a 1-0 win over Argentina thanks to a first half Beckham penalty won by Michael Owen.

Seaman Cole and Campbell all played the full 90 minutes.

Ashley Cole had some dodgy moments in the first half, perhaps deserving more than just the one booking. But following his booking Argentina failed to put him under as much pressure down that wing again. Perhaps having Sinclair in front of him helped, it seems likely that Eriksson will stick with that pairing on the left.

Campbell did ok, but was somewhat overshadowed by the superb performance of Rio Ferdinand.

But Seaman was awesome in goal and surely will have silenced the detractors who have said his time at this level has passed. He made some great saves, kept the defence organised through a noghtmare last 20 minutes of incessant pressure and got the ball whenever he came for it. Not as spectacular a goalkeeping display as some keepers have put in already in this World Cup, but it's the way you don't notice him so much that makes Seaman so good. Many attacks were snuffed out by his positioing and awareness, when with a less secure pair of hands between the sticks danger situations would have developed.

England now need just a draw to progress, and a win would probably see them top the group.
