England 1 Ecuador 0

And so we march on to the Quarter finals of the World Cup and a meeting with Portugal, who as everyone remembers, knocked us out on route to the final of the 2004 European Championships. Thanks to some great decisions from the ref in their last 16 match (16 Yellow and 4 Red cards!!) Portugal [...]
