"That was the pleasing thing. I think 18 months ago when we got a goal against us this side might have gone into our shell and played the final 20 minutes with fear. But this was much more positive. It was a good reaction. We showed a lot of character and deserved the win in the end." Steven Gerrard, of England's new found confidence and tougher mental character under coach Fabio Capello, after pulling out a 2-1 win over Ukraine on Wednesday.
