Before I start my story here is a list below of what I need to win and what i have already won so far;
The Copa America
The Oceania Nations Cup
The Caribbean Championships*
The Gold Cup
The World Cup
The Confederations Cup – 2013 England
The Olympics*
The African Nations
The Asian Cup
The European Championships – 2012 England
The Four Associations Tournament
As you can see there is two cups with a * on the end, they are in place because they aren’t a cup I have to win to complete it. If I get the chance I shall go for it but I will not be searching for the job.
Ok I am going to jump straight into this and I’ll start off at the second round of the World Cup, England are up against Belgium a strong team with the likes of Lukaku and Hazard!

Match report –
England 4 – 1 Holland (World Cup Quarter Finals)
An efficient performance from England saw them run out 4-1 winners over Holland at Castelao. The highlight of the game was undoubtedly a superb hat-trick from England’s Gabby Agbonlahor.
Explosive striker Gabby Agbonlahor gave England the lead with an effort which hit the inside of the post before crossing the line in the 32nd minute. Agbonlahor added his 2nd goal of the game with a close range finish which was timed impeccably on 45 minutes.
An error from England’s Phil Jones allowed nomadic striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar to score a finish executed with aplomb. Rooney scored with a well struck effort in the 57th minute to extend the lead further.
There were no prizes for guessing who completed the rout on 87 minutes as that man Agbonlahor popped up again with an accurate finish.
Here are the highlights of the game between England and Holland;
What a performance from England today, they completely out played Holland today let’s hope they can carry on playing like they have been in recent games as the Semi- Finals could be extremely hard.
Just for Ana;
So I’m guessing you will want to know what the Semi-Finals are like well I can certainly believe England have the upper hand on this occasion, after looking at the screenshot below I am pretty sure that you will guess who is in the final of the World Cup? Well I better play it and find out!
That’s right, England has got Colombia in the Semi-Finals but of course you can’t underestimate Colombia as they have got to the Semis in the first place! So here are the semis and here is my team;
According to “Football365.com”

AAAAH suspense!
Great results, especially the Netherlands one, as much as I hate to say it being half-Dutch… good luck against Spain, as I said in your last update, time to end 48 years of hurt! :D

Great job mate, I was particularly impressed with the victory against Holland! Spain will be tough, we all know that, but I believe that you can pull it off based on the form that the team has shown in the tournament. Good luck!

Um Jon, just blocking out the scores for Spain vs Italy isn’t actually enough, since Italy was grayed out it was a little bit obvious who won :P
The final will be a tough one, hopefully your team can turn in the performance of their lives
And oh yeah, did you post the Belgium vs England report twice? :P
Jon Crosby
31 мая, 2011 at 12:21
Ah Silly mistake with the double Belgium post!
And I really hoped no one would realise the greyed out, I only remembered after they played I was like «Sugar» and tried to get away with it!

Wow, what will Ana say to this…stick by a fellow writer or go with patriotics and back Spain lol :) Well done Jon, a wonderful post and excellent results. Destroying Holland in what should have been a tight match was the turning point. I hope you can beat Spain!!
Jon Crosby
31 мая, 2011 at 12:23
Well I shall let her comment herself and hope she routes for me! As if we do manage to win she won’t be a massive fan of me ;)
I hope, you hope we win!

Hey Jon
Congratulations on making it so far. World Cup success is so close and we know you can do it. Spain will be hard, though. Good luck!
Jon Crosby

Hey Vaibhac
Thank you and we are ever so close but it can all end in 90 minutes, which is sad and Spain will be hard!

Oh no! What to do!!
Split loyalties!
You have done really well to get to the world cup final, but Spain look in good form and Fernando especially good.
Not the kind of decision I want to make having finished work early! I will take the balanced side and hope the best team wins!
Good luck! (Good luck Spain also!! ;))
Jon Crosby
31 мая, 2011 at 14:14
Haha, What a dilemma for you Ana, but good choice on making it balanced sides and the best team wins!
A little insight Fernando is not available for the Final he picked up and injury! Mwhaha
