England wins their Opener against Paraguay

England went in with the favor to win this match, and they won it by an own goal. Beckham on a free kick shot the ball towards the net, only for it to go off the head off Carlos Gamarra redirecting it past the goaltender of Paraguay. This all happened in the first 3 minutes of the game.

After this, both teams played with no one scoring a goal. So England wins their Fifa World Cup opener but only because of an own goal. Beckham should be credited with the nice free kick.
