Troops from 200 Signals Squadron celebrate England's first goal in the tournament against Paraguay. The troops were able to watch the match in the Junior Ranks club at Waterloo Lines, Basra Air Station. Some of the Scottish and Welsh soldiers had volunteered to do guard duty so most of the England fans in the camp were able to watch.
