Worth noting.
For the 2006 opener we also went down a goal early to an opponent that was supposedly superior. Reflecting on that day, I remember the team looking absolutely overwhelmed after conceding the goal. As you will remember, they allowed a second goal and bowed out. However, this team did not tuck their tail between their legs after Gerrard's goal today. They stayed calm and stuck to the game plan. This is a much different team.
I'll be interested to see how the Algeria v Slovenia match goes tomorrow.
