Wins like these don't come often so it's a welcome relief to the usual grind of a 1-0 win or the anti climax of a 1-1 draw against so called weaker opposition.
That free kick was the first inventive set piece I've seen from England since the short corner to Sheringham routine (even that was nicked from Spurs!)
Yup, amid repeated tournament failure and mediocre results, there are results like vs Holland in Euro 96, Belgium in WC 90, Germany in 2001 and today when we really put in a performance which gets us all behind the side. Might crash out later in the tournament to superior competition but I like the vibe from destroying Panama than limping to a win by a single goal margin.
