God Save the Queen...

England has won and a collective sigh of relief comes from its fans. It was a good first half for England, but the team shut it down in the second half to preserve the win. England's defense really stymied the Paraguay attack. The ref, with a serious environmental disaster on his oil slick of a head, really seemed to favor Paraguay in the second half. He really let Paredes and Valdez (maybe that was the ref's name too?) get away with a lot of dissent and flopping when England could barely do anything.
