There are days when Daniel Sturridge could not hit a barn door even if it meant never having to suffer through a Adam Sandler or a Seth Rogen movie ever again. Yesterday, was not one of them. That was Messi-esque for team GB's final score.
Team GB moved the ball around with ease through Ryan Giggs, Craig Bellamy, Joe Allen, and Tom Cleverley. The unified team opened through Giggsy's header and followed up with Scott Sinclair's put back after Mohamed Khasef parried Bellamy's cross into his path.
By the way, the UAE goal was equally brilliant as Eisa did not break step latching onto a Xavi like pass by Omar Abdulrahman, accelerating between defenders, and then sidefooting the ball past Jack Butland. Seamless, swift, and lethal. UAE looked very, very good in large spells of the match and the scoreline is flattering.
