England national team managed to defeat the eternal champions of the Africa Cup of Nations, Egypt. All England players and fans were behind the captain John Terry who led the team to a wonderful England comeback.

Borussia Dortmund striker Mohammed Zidan shocked the Wembley crowd at the 23rd minute of the match by scoring a wonderful goal, but it was the fantastic striker Peter Crouch who managed to level the score only at the 56th minute of the game, 10 minutes after the start of the second half. England fans were ready to go home disappointed but Shaun Wright-Phillips on the 75th minute completed the comeback. Peter Crouch finished his brace on the 80th minute to win the Man of the Match award.

England manager Fabio Capello declared his satisfaction with the performance, but he knows very well that the England national football team will need more games against top teams to prove everyone they are ready for the World Cup in South Africa.

It is interesting to see how the striking partership between Jermaine Defoe and Manchester United's Wayne Rooney led to nothing, and it was Peter Crouch who scored the goals.
