England 1-0 Slovenia: Three Lions Qualify for Second Round

June 23, 2010 - Port Elizabeth, South Africa - Football - Slovenia v England FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010 - Group C - Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Port Elizabeth, South Africa - 23/6/10..Jermain Defoe celebrates after scoring England's initial goal.

Jermain Defoe is a hero in England currently after he scored a only idea of a diversion which helped England move in to a second turn of a 2010 World Cup.

In a diversion which England dominated, notwithstanding some good chances by Slovenia to equalize, Defoes idea was what separated a sides as good as enabled England to finish in second place in a group. England will right away fool around on Sunday during 10am ET opposite possibly Germany, Serbia or Ghana.

Man of a match, for me, was England defender John Terry who put in a herculean effort to forestall Slovenia from scoring. And in one partial of a game, you could see him diving by mid-air, low to a ground, to try to forestall a shot by Slovenia finding a way in to a behind of a net.

While this wasnt a glamorous England performance, it was sufficient to win a three points for England as good as to take a vigour off, if ever so slightly.

In terms of Capellos tactics, he got them right for a initial time in a game. England were fast during a behind as good as they were most better in midfield where Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard as good as Wayne Rooney all linked good together.

When Rooney was replaced in a second half, there was no rage from a Liverpudlian. Instead, he walked off, gripping his dissatisfaction in check as good as authorised Joe Cole to come on in his place.

In a game, England had a idea disallowed for offside. And another shot which strike a post. But overall, they did what was r! equired as good as can right away be buoyed by a certainty to do good in a second round.

Congratulations to England.
