Well, that was kind of a surprise.The 1-1 draw is a fair result, but it could of gone either way. I think the USA might be one of the surprises of the competition, judging by that performance!
The US was hardly a great team but their defense was good. Regardless of the Green fumble, England in no way deserved to win that game.
Id say Capello is gonna have to make some changes, thought Heskey and Lampard were rubbish.
Hopefully a liquored up BobJuice isn't searching for Mr Green in south africa. Thought maybe Beckham was going to prance on the field and hit him with his "man purse" I mean prolly 99 of 100 times he grabs that. What a horrible time to make a miscue. The one position where the Usa has the advantage and it allows them to steal a point.
Mike, I hope you still had fun at the Game and I hope England will get better during the tournament. Besides Rooney's will to win, I did not see real highlights in the Game sadly but it was the 1st Game so fuck it. Congrats to the USA for scoring their 1st point.
fair result, we were a completely different team after the goal.. after Gerrard scored it looked as though it might be 2 or 3 nil.. not sure why he took off Milner. SWP and Lennon were crap.. Lampard and Gerrard have NEVER been able to play well in midfield together
a 1-1 against USA now isn't the same as 1-1 in previous World Cups.. they are a well coached team with majority of their players based in Europe.. no shame except for the Green howler in goal, question is now what? you can't really replace him as he still kept it 1-1 and if you pull him you're taking a chance in ruining the rest of his career.. unless James is 100% fit, you go with the same goalie and get some consistancy back there.. and even James isn't my first choice as he's known for his mistakes back there too. We need a number 1 that we can count on for years to come, not an almost 40 year old at the tail end of his career.
Still should be England and USA coming out of that group, just hope we win the group, I don't want to meet Germany just yet, lol
^^ but I want that Game at some point in the Tournament. Badly. But you are right with what you've said about the USA...they are far away from the easy opponents and point delievers they were. More professional approach and more players with contracts in Europe. Anyways, forget about the 1st Game but you guys have to win the other 2 ones...England can't fail in the group rounds but it's theoretically only one Game away from it.
