Argentina striker Gabriel Batistuta has accused England of being over
defensive in Friday's famous victory by Sven-Goran Eriksson's men.
David Beckham's penalty just before half-time gave England a 1-0 lead which
was held by a stout rearguard action after the break.
But Batistuta said: "If the English had played a little bit more in the
second half, I think Argentina would have managed a little bit more too, but
they crowded the area and it was difficult to find a way through."
The Roma striker was replaced by Hernan Crespo on the hour mark and the Lazio
star was a little more generous in his praise of England.
"They defended very well and we were not able to overcome that, they closed
us down well," said Crespo.
