England was indeed a fluke.

England goalkeeper David Seaman was left in tears after watching a
35-yard freekick sail over his head for the winning goal in last
summer's quarter-final.
But Juninho told The Independent newspaper that Ronaldinho had
admitted in the dressing room after the game that he mishit the
shot.
'He said he tried to put the ball in the opposite angle to where it
went, the other corner,' Juninho said.
'He mis-hit it. In the end it was lucky. In football you have to be
lucky sometimes.
Brazil went on to win the World Cup for a record fifth time,
