Beckham put a smile on Victoria's face

England 1 - 0 Ecuador

It wasn't an interesting game. One opportunity of goal at 12' when Carlos Tenório's shot struck the woodwork (John Terry, attempting to head clear ten yards up from the edge of the England box, inadvertently played in Carlos Tenorio) and one goal at 60' by Beckham in a free-kick, and the story of match is made.

Ecuador couldn't find solutions for the adversity and England stood happy with the advantage and reforced the defense.

We hope that Portugal-Holland match could be mutch better.
