England 7 – 1 Holland
Half-time 4-1
Although we started the game consistently on restricted man to man, for the first 10 minutes the team were static in attack and the players would not move without the ball. I called a time out to speak to the players and only then did the team start to move off the ball giving us the oppretunity to score 2 goals in 5 minutes.
It was an exciting game with England showing superiority, when we had control of the game everyone played.
Now we will play Switzerland for 5th/6th places which is a great achievement.
Russell LLoyd comments after the game:
This is my first opportunity to play at senior level and really enjoyed my first experience. The team played very well and today we showed confidence through out the game. Carlos put me in the position where I was able to have a chance to score and with the help of the team I managed it with 5 seconds to go. I am extremely happy with this. Look forward for the game against Switzerland.
