HALF-TIME UPDATE: Andorra 0-0 England World Cup Qualifier: England Held After Disappointing Half
England have gone into half-time 0-0 against Andorra in their 2010 World Cup qualifier at the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona on Saturday.
England started the first-half fully in control, with Theo Walcott, who replaced David Beckham in midfield, having an early shot off-target, with Portsmouth’s Glen Johnson forcing Andorra keeper Koldo into a save, but then the tempo dropped.
Jermain Defoe and Frank Lampard both had attempts go wide of goal, while some last-ditch tackles from the Andorran defence scuppered England’s chances in front of goal.
The game went into half-time 0-0, with boos ringing out from the England fans after a lame first-half from Fabio Capello’s Three Lions team, while the Andorrans will be thrilled to have kept the score at 0-0.
