Of course it altered the outcome. 2-2 would have been a different game. The pressure would have been off England. They were caught out on the counter attack.

Heh. : : : : The difference is this is one of the biggest screw ups in WC. : The one against the USA altered a result by 2 points. : The one today didn't alter the outcome. The one against the USA didn't alter the result at all. We won our group, and England were second. That would remain unchanged. -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/ |
