Rearguard action provides unforgettable England victory

England 4 - 2 Montenegro (European Championship Grp D)

A sturdy defence and a battling midfield display were the foundations upon which England built their 4 - 2 victory over Montenegro this evening. A brace from Bobby Zamora helped England to victory.

Experienced striker Bobby Zamora gave England the lead with a poorly struck effort from inside the penalty area in the 11th minute. Zamora added his 2nd goal of the game with a powerful effort on 19 minutes.

Parker scored with a well timed close range finish in the 30th minute to extend the lead further. Cultured midfielder Frank Lampard then added to the lead with a header on 72 minutes.

Experienced striker Andrija Delibasic pulled one back for Montenegro after 75 minutes with an effort from the edge of the area. The last goal of the game came from enthusiastic centre-back Chris Smalling whose 77th minute own-goal will undoubtedly cause him some embarrassment.

Manager Comment:
I'm very delighted with these results that led to us winning th Euro's. I hope I have done enough to impress most spectators considering this is my first year managing England.

Team Instructions as Requested by Glenn0161:

Britain U23's

Decided to see if I could succeed with the Olympics team as well, didn't quite turn out as I planned. I knew if we ever faced Spain we would probably lose out.

Very good with the Euros !! just did the Olympics on my save, managed to beat Spain U23s on penalties but then got thrashed in the final 4-1 by Brazil. They had Oscar, Neymar, Leandro & Leandro Damiao upfront and were just brilliant. Did they win it on yours or did Spain go on to get gold?

Pre-match press conference

After being asked about how Sleightholm will set up for the match, an unusual question popped up. 'You have been managing England for a while now, and have won the Euro's with them, will you be looking to go for glory with a league club?'
His answer was clear. 'It will be taken into consideration, maybe after the World Cup has finished in 2014. If we come close to winning it, then I will look around for clubs in the lower leagues, such as the BSP, or a club I can lead to the top in the Premier League.'
