Cole: England goal one of my best


Joe Cole says his stunner against Sweden was one of the best goals he's scored.

The England and Chelsea midfielder said: "That was certainly up there with the best goals I've ever scored.
"I thought things went really well in the first half and they couldn't live with us.
"But we should have killed the game and we have to look at why we can't seem to sustain it for the whole game.
"Overall it was a good performance and they didn't cause us any trouble from open play, just set-pieces, which is unlike us.
"Losing Michael is a sickener but if you top your group, get an extra day's rest and avoid Germany in the next round you'd take that. But we can't afford to be complacent on Sunday. Just because Ecuador are not a big name doesn't mean they are not dangerous."
