Green did partly redeem himself with a great save in the second half, pushing the shot onto the post. However, I wouldn't like to see him starting next week - just hope James is match fit. I also do not want to see Heskey in the starting line-up. He's a nice bloke with a lot of physical presence, but cannot score goals and if Rooney goes AWOL on the pitch again then we don't have a true striker. It was amusing before the match when a tv interviewer asked a selection of US fans outside the Rustenburg stadium, to name members of the US squad. One or two fans could name Howard and Dempsey but quite a few couldn't name any of the US squad at all. If this was a selection of fans who'd stayed in the USA to watch the match on tv then I could understand their lack of knowledge. But surely fans who travel all the way to South Africa and buy match tickets would know at least some of the US squad? Maybe they were on safari or something and had just dropped by.
