England vs USA

[Badgers]

Still looking like a goal to come but could be either way.

 

[Apathy]

rooney's woke up

 

[Badgers]

Glen Johnson has had a good game so far

Yup, looked really good in a fairly mediocre game.

Good couple of chances there

c'mon crouchy

the p. crouch header reply

 

[agricola]

What on earth is Townsend on?

Are you watching the same game? Heskey was excellent.

 

[Apathy]

What on earth is Townsend on?

he's like Dr. Fox. I can't take him seriously

 

[Bernie Gunther]

What on earth is Townsend on?

Well, he did what was expected of him ok and after all these years nobody seriously expects him to score given a golden opportunity or two to do so.

 

[quimcunx]

C'mon. 5 minutes to score a winning goal, engerland.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Is this on now?

 

[agricola]

Are you watching the same game? Heskey was excellent.

That was when he shot straight at Howard when clean through, or when he skied that header over the bar? All Heskey has done is what Altidore has done for the yanks, except noone is pretending that Altidore is any good.

 

[quimcunx]

To be fair, I'm not sure Dr. Fox claims to be a real doctor.

 

[ChrisFilter]

Nonsense.

 

[articul8]

think we lacked someone like Joe Cole - to do something out of the ordinary

 

[Dandred]

Can't even beat the USA. LOL. 66 was a fluke.

 

[quimcunx]

Has anyone won a match in this tournament yet?

 

[articul8]

yes - South Korea and Argentina

 

[xes]

Has anyone won a match in this tournament yet?

Argentina won earlier I think.

This really has been fucking shit Glad I stayed in.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

To be fair, I'm not sure Dr. Fox claims to be a real doctor.

Or a fox

 

[quimcunx]

I suppose for the USA a draw is a good result and they're happy now just to stop Engerland getting another goal.

They probably wouldn't mind if the last England player who scored did it again.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

said before it could easily be 1-1, didnt think there would be a fluke goal like that though!

 

[quimcunx]

Well that was underwhelming.

And I didn't actually see either of the goals.

 

[Dandred]

Back in 66 the first game was 1-1

Fuck's sake

 

[butchersapron]

Fantastic performance england. Got the ball rolling nicely for the next match - they'll be motivated proper now. Good work.

 

[agricola]

Big decision for Capello now - personally I'd go back to 4-5-1, drop Heskey and hope Barry is fit again.

Yes, they've avoided defeat in the most difficult group match and will be well placed to thrash Algeria and Slovenia.
