Match 2: England 1-0 Ecuador Match 3: Argentina 2-1 Mexico (1-1 after 90 minutes) Match 4: Portugal 1-0 Netherlands Thanks to a superb David Beckham free kick, England managed to scrape through to the quarter finals. If England's defensive display disappointed me, Ecuador's equally uninspiring performance let me down even more. The Portugal-Netherlands game was a much more physical affair, with 4 red cards flashed out, 2 on each side.
