A Great Match




I could only watch the scrolling play-by-play via Yahoo's MatchCast, but this was a really exciting match nonetheless.

Joe Cole's 30 meter volley gave England the lead in the 34th minute, but Sweden unbelievably tied the match just six minutes after the half, and nearly went ahead minutes later.

England appeared to have clinched the win in the 85th minute and held their lead clear through to the 90 minute mark only to have victory snatched away by Henrik Larsson at the last second.

Luckily for Swedish fans who might otherwise have been beaten to bloody pulps outside the stadium, a draw was enough to put England through to the round of 16.
