I dont think many people were expecting England to draw this game, but in fact actually lose it. With the recent performances lacking many people thought Holland would pulverise England. However Englands performance was very good, not quite excellent but we saw a totally different team to the one that played against Macedonia and Croatia.
We saw the return of Joe Cole who played well and created Rooney's goal. A wonderful cross from the right side of the pitch where Rooney intelligently knocked it passed the keeper 1-0.
England controlled alot of the game and I believe we deserved victory, however it wasn't to be when a failed attempt to clear a throw-in resulting in a Van der vaart equaliser. I truly believe England need to sort out their weaknesses in set-plays. We saw frailties in defending corners during the world cup and it looks like they continue to be troubled by set-plays. If you wish to see more information on the England team I suggest visiting The FAs website
Overall I believe it was a good performance and I guess it reduces the pressure on the players as well as Steve McClaren who has been under alot of fire recently.
