FIFA World Cup: England in the playoffs, but Slovenia says goodbye to South Africa and Jabulani

In fact, the ultimate fate of falling into the playoff against Slovenia was decided in a parallel match, where the US team played with Algeria.





However, one team won, but lost the second. About who turned in what role, read on :)





Fabio Capello (Fabio Capello) said before the match that his team is quite capable to play in the final tournament. And England was to prove the game against Slovenia. And we should talk only about winning.



Without thinking, Rooney, Defoe and the company rushed to prove their worth himself, coach and millions of fans. Getting published is very sad. Somehow there was a huge gap between midfield and attack. Rooney and Defoe were practically without the ball.



But Slovenia played as if they did not have any influence the outcome of the match. Funny and nice to see such features into the game, the middle peasants from Europe. It is the courage Slovenians were able to create some dangerous moments at the gate of David James (David James). But this match England goalkeeper played virtually error-free.











And on 22 minutes almost the first time the British get an effective attack. Note that all the passes were made quickly and accurately. Barry started right flank for Milner, who threw the ball towards Jermain Defoe (Jermain Defoe). Defoe has always been a master of the moment. Two seconds - and the ball in the net against Slovenia.













Immediately Defoe could double the score. And approximately the same situation. However, Handanovic showed also really cool game against England.



The teams went to the break and somewhere else for 20 minutes of the second half after the British were trying to justify the words of Don Fabio and faith in a better game. Alas, the bar, offside mistakes - it was. Also goals :)













And then England at all sour, starting reinsured with or without him. Capello decided to remove faded Wayne Rooney (Wayne Rooney), which in this tournament is not playing well, how can.









Against the background of this game and the situation, the Slovenes would have to yank headlong into the attack, but the US has played in a draw with the Algerians, and this suit is Slovenia. Trying to create something dramatically suppressed by the British, and sometimes tough. At the end of the game pace all gone, and the last three minutes of the match took place in a corner of cross protection against Slovenia. England on the third attempt its first victory in the World Championship Cup in South Africa.
