Knockout Stages

There will be a lot written about England's performance or lack of it this evening in the 2-2 draw. For me the whole thing is simple:

1. England finished top of the group
2. The avoid playing a dangerous looking Germany
3. Bring on Ecuador
4. Michael Owen sadly injured

Anything else is histrionics - oh and smashing goals from Joe Cole and Stevie G. I had to watch the BBC highlights just to here the Motson goal commentary - I can't help but enjoy it.
