A draw would seem to be the most probable outcome but where two sides are well balanced, goals are scored from creative football and better tactics.
What irritated me about England's style of play was the reliance on passing the ball to and fro across the half-back line and back to the goalkeeper.
Except for players like Cole, Lennon, Gerrard & Hargreaves the England philosophy seemed to be more about keeping goals out than putting them in.
Hoping that Beckham will score from a free kick or that your side would get a penalty is not what I'd call a professional plan of action.
