As the saying goes, "when life gives you lemons, made lemonade." That's exactly what England's Danny Welbeck did in yesterday's Group D match against Sweden. With the score tied 2-2 in the 78th minute, Theo Walcott pushed the ball into the penalty area and delivered a cross that Welbeck overran. But in a moment of excellent split-second decision-making, the forward was able to backheel the pass into the back of the net. Now, how amazing was that?
