But that's trumped by these Los Pumas fans. Who are only let down by the fact that Pumas don't have spots. Maybe they got to the fancy dress shop late and all the Puma costumes were gone so they had to make do with these leopard/cheetah/jaguar costumes (delete as appropriate) Photograph: Alastair Grant/AP

The pressure pays off when England give away a penalty which Argentina captain Felipe Contepomi duly dispatches to give Argentina a 3-0 lead Photograph: Stefan Wermuth/Reuters

Contepomi hits Richard Wigglesworth in mid-air, which leads to a bit of hand-bags but a quick apology from the Argentine captain calms things down Photograph: Mark Kolbe/Getty Images

England have been given away too many penalties in the opening 20 minutes but thankfully for Martin Johnson's men Felipe Contepomi hasn't been able convert them. Things get worse for the Argentinan captain when goes off clutching his ribs which is the result of a big hit he took earlier in the game Photograph: Natacha Pisarenko/AP

Ben Foden breaks past a couple of tackles and sprints down the middle of the park. He offloads to Armitage just before he gets hit 30 yards out but there's not enough space to get past Cabello and the move is brought to an end Photograph: Warren Little/Getty Images

Six minutes before half time, Dan Cole doesn't release the ball when on the ground so referee Bryce Lawrence, who's finally has enough of England's constant infringement, flashes his yellow card and Cole is off to the sin bin Photograph: Shaun Botterill/Getty Images

Though Jonny Wilkinson's kicking has been well off today - he's missed four penalties in a row, he doesn't deserve being taunted by a streaker Photograph: Warren Little/Getty Images

That looks like a bit of a high tackle on Gonzalo Camacho Photograph: Martin Bureau/AFP/Getty Images

Just past the hour mark England get a penalty which they kick into touch towards the corner. They win the line out and shuttle the ball to the middle. Ben Youngs receives the ball, injects some pace, drops a shoulder and goes past a couple of blue and white shirts Photograph: Mark Kolbe/Getty Images

...and then sprints over the line. England are now only 1 point behind, it's 9-8 to Argentina Photograph: David Rogers/Getty Images

In the dying minutes England make it over the try line again but Delon Armitage's effort is disallowed as he is bundled out of play by Nicolas Vergallo and Gonzalo Camacho before he grounds the ball Photograph: Martin Bureau/AFP/Getty Images

Given the look of the England players you'd could be forgiven for thinking that they'd lost the match, rather than winning 13-9. Though their performance needs a lot of work if they've any hope of repeating their 2003 victory. Even Wilko's kicking was not up to his usual reliable standard with him only slotting home 2 out of 7 efforts Photograph: David Rogers/Getty Images
