Hi all
A fantastic effort from all 10 players saw England get just the start we had been looking for with a convincing 8-2 victory over the Irish. Every member of the squad got onto the pitch and played with confidence and quality.
England went 3-0 up in the first half and held total ascendency. Slick passing and interplay resulted in excellent goals before the Irish got one back to make it 3-1. However, England went into half time in a strong position when they scored 3 further goals without reply to make it 6-1 at the turn around. Ireland came out fighting as expected and pushed hard getting a goal back and giving them false hope before 2 further goals put the game beyond their reach. Despte some physical encounters the team came off with no major problems and now have 2 days rest before meeting Argentina on Wednesday at 10am, followed by Spain on Thursday at 4pm (as Brazil have not been replaced as expected).
Goals came from Hugo Costa (3), Steve Daley, George Ferguson, Kevin Price (2), Andy Lang.
I will try and get some footage of the goals to upload tomorrow. A fantastic start - Come on England!!!!!
