I remember it also Alan, but we were playing in England, not South Africa.

I remember well the first game of the World Cup when we won it. Just the same, dreadful and we drew.Many said after that game we had no chance.If we can sort ourselves out after this very nervous start we could still do very well in this competition.
Good luck to the American Team a good positive start and watch out World in about twelve years time,
Al

On reflection, Gerrard didn't close the player down. He seemed to give up. Mind you Dempsey ran rings round him, but the shot was pretty tame.

Another day dawns and after a good nights sleep, all seems better now. :-)

Anyway, all England and America need to do now is win both their remaining games and they are through. However, I can't see either of us getting any further.

USA defended very well, although they lacked the firepower up front. I thought that both teams played pretty well, England's skills versus USA organisation and determination.

England stole a point from the better side on the night. They were lucky that the USA did not have the strikers to put the game beyond reach by half time. I still expect both teams to go through, but Germany beckons - and that means England's fourth game will probably be their last. I do not see either side going far beyond the second round.

I am pleased with the result. Confessional-wise, I was sore afraid after that early, easy (not a put down) Brit goal. Fortunately for USA, Greene made a real rookie mistake. He did not get his body directly in front of the ball (he was slightly left of center to it), and he failed to smother it, as noted above. While USA played well, and had a a really good chance or two, if this were a boxing match, I would have awarded a decision on points to England.

Yeah......We got a shitty goalie too in Howard. Imagine letting England score early like that......***sigh***........yeah, the USA team sucks huge, like they're completely hopeless and the only reason they got even one goal is probably not the fault of Green but of a vast conspiracy starting with the Trilateral Commission, the Illuminati, and 14 Saudis who have been organizing this debacle from a paint booth in a BMW body shop outside of Perth-Amboy.

Get a grip Arty.....The USA played well as a team although the Brits have more star caliber players. The goal for England was scored early before the USA was even functioning....a true problem for them. The US needs to start each game at a higher level of readiness. As for your guys, they needed more teamwork. I don't wanna' pop your electric pickle but y'all are a long ways from being the greatest team of all time and the USA ain't too damn bad.

It will be interesting to see how each comes out of this match.

Lighten up... the guy misjudged the ball. Yes, I know he should have smothered it with clasp hands and brought it to body (as is done in Yankee football), but he just fucked up. Overly confident - nervous? There it is. But a twat? No.

Go England! Go USA!

Well there you go.

Emile Heskey made a brilliant pass to Gerrard to get the first goal.

Once again the dread of English goalkeepers hit us again.

I don't know about Calamity James, but Green is just as bad. That guy earns a fortune and he makes such a twat of himself in letting the yanks get a goal. How do you substantiate such high earnings for such poor goalkeeping.

Rooney hasn't been in the game.

Mistake to play Millner after his illness.

Better bring on Calamity for the second half.

The commentators are supporting Green, but I wish I could earn as much as him, for making such a twatbag error. Disgraceful.

Currently there is an England flag hanging out of the lounge window and taped on the inside above it, a printout of the US flag.

Hmmm Not sure if the selection of the team is that good.

Gerrard and Lampard - how many times do we have to see them fail together.

I am worried that Millner will not be fit enough after his illness.

Rooney would rather be on his own, but Heskey is going to be his mate.

Got to get my dinner.

Come on England - stuff it up those yankees. :-)

To the Heskey critics, he is not selected because of his scoring abilities, he takes the weight of players that are...

Let's hope he does his job....if not Crouch will come on for the last half hour.

England have three Yorkshiremen in the team so that's got to be a good omen. Predictably The Star has the headline 'Spank the Yanks' - bet that took some thinking up. The papers reckon that Heskey will start tonight, despite only scoring 7 goals in 58 games - I didn't even know it was that many. If Heskey scores tonight then Capello is obviously a genius - if he doesn't then Capello is an idiot and should have started with Defoe or Crouch up front. Should be a good match all the same.

I have a feeling it is going to be a draw against the USA - possibly with England having to grab a last ditch equaliser. It is going to be a close thing either way. Along with Brazil, the USA is one of the few countries, which has got a 100% record against England in the World Cup. I hope that changes tonight!

Tonight's the night.

England v USA - Let's just hope that it's a good clean game with England winning. :-) On paper they should win, but I don't think you can underestimate any team that has managed to get to this point. Let's just hope that Rooney keeps his cool and nets a few goals. I would be pleased if Heskey did as well, but not holding my breath on that one.

Come on England.

Well, whilst you guys are complaining about horns, and watching why women hate soccar, I saw a couple of pretty darn good matches today. Uruguay, especially, played a tenacious defensive game, frustrating France at every possession, it seems. Mexico v RSA was outstanding, also.

I'm going to try to be home tomorrow for UK/USA, a friendly over the pond rivalry.

A Professor has found that there are two sizes of penis amongst UK men. There are those which fall within the normal size range and those which are less than two inches while erect. The professor has appealed for help to continue his research.
