Bend it like...
...the only man who can bend it like that. England held off Ecuador for a 1-0 victory today, thanks to a huge save by Ashley Cole (not a woman, and not the keeper) and a massively unfathomable direct kick by Beckham that sneaked in the near post.
[Not to take anything away from the shot, but the keeper was playing WAY too far to the far post- put too much faith in his defenders' wall- ahh, you silly little keeper with Ecuadorian flags painted on your face.]
Here's to England. You'll have to step it up a notch next week against Portugal.

That was all the keeper's fault... how do you let a goal in at near-post?!
Granted Beckham made a good shot, but just like in baseball where good pitching beats good hitting... good goaltending beats good shots.
