It was a bad day for....

Paraguay's captain Carlos Gamarra put through his own goal with the game just underway and it turned out to be the only goal England needed.

English fans who expected a win and an entertaining performance. (Historical note - when England won the World Cup in 1966 Alf Ramsay was absolutely slaughtered for England's performance in the their first game a 0-0 draw with Uruguay).

Anyone Swedish and in particular Lars Lagerback the Swedish coach. Lagerback makes Sven look like a maverick.

It was a good day for....

English fans who were happy just to win and to start the World Cup on the right foot.

All of Trinidad and Tobago who pulled off a stunning draw against Sweden despite playing almost all of the second half with 10 men after left back Avery John collected a second yellow card.

Leo Beenhakker the T&T coach who reacted to John sending off by pulling off an attacking player (Collin Samuel) and replacing him with Cornell Glen, another attacker. Glen then proceeded to rattle the crossbar and almost win the game.

Juan Roman Riquelme who set up both Argentine goals in their win over the Ivory Coast.

And the most overstated fact of the day...

Trinidad and Tobago is the smallest country ever to reach the World Cup.
