I hope Wood and Smith are both fine and that we show Lima that we can play a bit more football, whatever the result.  It would be fantastic for us to go a goal up from open play.  Dreams are free.

I don't really know enough to say, but Peru were pretty lack lustre in attack here and with a change in formation and intent, maybe this could all be over very quickly. If so, fair enough; but we defended so well that they'll have to play a heck of a lot better than they did here.

But one thing is for sure.  Italy would rather be in our shoes than theirs.

Regardless of what happens, what a great job done by the guys to take it this far.  A World Cup elimination second leg with it all on the line.  Good luck to the lads - I hope Wood and Smith are both fine and that we show Lima that we can play a bit more football, whatever the result.  It would be fantastic for us to go a goal up from open play.  Dreams are free.
