The second World Cup tournament I played on Sensi Soccer 2006 with England I won. Having come second in the group (beat Serbia and Montegro, beat Togo lost 3-1 to Argentina) then faced Trinidad and Tobago in the second round. They were dispatched 1-0 to set up a Semi-final with Portugal. portugal had beat Brazil 3-0 in the previous round. Portugal were beat 2-0. Argentina were also through to the final having knocked out Germany. A Michael Owan goal in the third minute was enough to crown England World Champions. Argentina were a shadow of the team England had faced in the group stage. But by then England had started to get the hang of passing.
And no Peter Crouch in sight. That’s saying something.
