England Keeps 100% Winning Record Defeating Belarus
England defeated Belarus 3-1 convincingly tonight with Wayne Rooney doing his magic again. England started to dominate from the early part of the match and took the lead only in the 11th minute. No, it was not Wayne Rooney who scored the first goal, but it was Steven Gerrard who delighted the supporters in the stadium and in front of their TV sets and radios back in England. The players of Belarus were determined not to be outclassed by England. They kept on fighting and equalized in the 28th minute thanks to the goal of Sitko. The first half ended 1-1.
Many England fans perhaps were worried that their team might suffer an upset. However, Wayne Rooney had other ideas. Rooney got outshined with the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo in Manchester United last season. However, tonight, he again showed that he is no longer the wonder kid anymore. In stead, Rooney has become matured. He scored two goals in the second half. The first one came in the 50th minute and the second goal was scored in the 74th minute.
With this win, England has kept 100% winning record in the campaign to qualifying for FIFA World Cup 2010. This is the best start to any world cup qualifying campaign by England.
