FULL TIME Japan 2-2 England

What a rollercoaster. What a second half. England will go away feeling aggrieved about a those two free-kick decisions that proved costly, but they would do better to look at the chances that went begging in both halves.

Japan will be relieved that they have escaped with a point, but whether or not this is as much as they have to offer is open to debate. For England, second gear was nearly enough tonight, but certainly won't be against a rampant Germany in five days' time. But Kelly Smith looks ready to light this tournament up, and a point on the board means that England are still alive in this group. It's only just begun...but that's me done for now. See you next week for the Germany game.
