I am sorry to say that Norman Tebbit would have been very angry with me yesterday. I failed the Tebbit Test!
I genuinely want Sweden to do well but last night I had to cheer for England!
What a match, England score in the first minute and were soon 3-0 up. Shocking! At half time I faffed around in the kitchen as I really couldnt see Sweden making a game of it, however as is often the case with England in semi-finals..they played with their eyes already on the final and Sweden launched a stinging counter attack which had England’s young guns on the ropes and it was 3-3. Extra time!
Stuart Pearce must have been in bits at the thought of penalties, we dont have a good record on them. However Pearcey had made the English team practice pens for the last year…the Swedes didnt and it showed as England powered through to the Under 21 final against Germany.
Spare a thought for Sweden though, they really ran England and on the second half performance and probably extra time should have won it.
Still its nice for us to get a bit of luck for a change!
