England steal injury time draw
Filed Under Football | Leave a Comment
England rescued a fortunate injury time draw against Czech Republic but were overall quite poor in their last game before the start of the 2010 World Cup qualifiers.
Milan Baros turned England skipper John Terry and had his shot deflected in off Ashley Cole to put the Czechs ahead. England equalised with a powerful Wes Brown header but were out-classed and outplayed by the visitors. Marek Jankulovski restored the Czech lead with a superb free-kick before Joe Cole scrambled home in injury time.
England’s performance will also have given boss Fabio Capello plenty to think about before the qualifying campaign for the next World Cup starts against Andorra on 6 September and against Croatia four days later.
