Euro 2012: England 3 - Sweden 2
My favorite game so far in the tournament. Not terribly great soccer, but competitive, almost old fashioned, like a game from 20 years ago. I don't understand why England doesn't play Chamberlin and Walcott all the time...maybe they are afraid of what afflicts the Dutch. Who knows. But obviously, Walcott comes on, scores a goal and then assists another. Both pretty amazing, borderline lucky style of goals. More instinct than design.
If you didn't see it - this game was back and forth. England went up 1-0 before half. Then Sweden comes out and scores 2 to go up 2-1 and it looks like England is going to collapse. They sub Walcott and he scores a long distance goal. Then England goes ahead for good. Fun game.
