England World Cup Thread

US 1 - 2 Iran
US 1 - 1 England
=> Iran 3 - 2 England
=> IPL > EPL
Why do people laugh when I say that?

2010 = 1998

LOL and usa were unlucky not to make it 2-1 when Altidore hit the post after Green touched it away.

[KamyarM]

England - USA: 1-1. capello is gonna get lynched by the tabloids

Can't wait to read the english tommorow...

Regarding Green..

He's deserved his spot. Whenever he's played for England, he hasn't let us down. Only conceded one goal in qualifiers , and that was an Eduardo consolation at Wembley.. He also made two FANTASTIC one-on-one saves vs Vela @ Wembley vs Mexico.. He's handling is improved, and he's much more stronger at dealing with crosses. He's distribution is not that bad.

I'm sure he won't let us down.

[HuSsAiN]

My first line was still correct. He has been consistent when called upon.

The second - yep he was at fault for the goal, but made up for it with a fine save from Altidore.

I don't care what all of you say. I thought England played well, and should've shaded it to win the tie. We played much better than the two freindlies we have, and thank god Barry is fit.. coz i wanna see Gerrard further forwrard.

[KC McElroy]

If he deserved his spot by virtue of being the best England can come up with in goal then England sucks at the goalkeeper position.

[Shervin.]

he hasnt been consistent. even in the jmexico game, he may have made two decent saves, but he made a HUGE BLUNDER which the comentators didnt pick up on because nothing came of ti, no one was atacking it.

the problem is, james is just as bad and inconsistent. You can only blame capello for this one, and for his 2nd choice being james seeing as tho hart is the only above average keeper, the other two are pretty much on par with fabianski, and im not just saying that now. James would have done a similar mistake had he playef. Must be hart.

lol.

stop f*ckn hating.

the usa is going to the semi's, thats right. theres something that this team has and thats heart.

Jozy Altidore should of had the game winner, it should of been 2 - 1 USA

we are a top 10 team. never underestimate the heart of a champion.. i'm willing to have a friendly rematch after the wc with england (and capello)

[Makan]

Jozy Altidore should of had the game winner, it should of been 2 - 1 USA

I don't buy that. If Altidore had that goal, who knows how England would've reacted.

[1Heesham1]

if usa make it to the semis. i'll run naked through brixton.

I don't buy that. If Altidore had that goal, who knows how England would've reacted.

Well Spain thought the same, so did Egypt during the confederations cup. The US generally plays well playing a goal down. Altidore is playing with the support of MLS forwards next to him, he's double teamed the entire game. with the absense of charlie davies up front.. it just made everything so much harder. I'm just bothered at the fact that alot of the people on this board don't show respect where its due..

whether it'd be robinson making the gk mistake or green.. you guys, unlike the united states have bad luck with keepers.

and about the U.S. reachin the semi's.. how is that hard to believe? they made it to the semi's before long ago and the quarter finals in 2002.. dont forget some basic footy knowledge..
