england 3 usa 1

[MissKittyFantastico]

England 2 - 1 USA

[setanta]

"Well it's been a lacklustre first half from the England team and they'll need a stern talking to at half time.... Dempsey, nice one-two with Donovan. He's in the box. Danger here. Slides it in to Altidore. Oh, no, they've scored!"

[MissKittyFantastico]

All anti English should be banned from this thread tomorrow night :)

[King Gizzard]

No they can sit here and watch a masterclass in football by the English

[Jase]

Haters should be banned in match threads :D

I want to go to watch it at Birmingham O2 tomorrow i got 8 tickets but no one to go with haha

[Lewis.]

I have a feeling it will be England '2' - USA '0'

Rooney scoring both of those quite late in the game.

[DDRickyDD]

Kick Off is 7:30 btw.

[Jase]

If we cant win USA we may aswell give up after the match

[Lewis.]

If we cant win USA we may aswell give up after the match

lol yeah. I think it will be an easy one myself. The USA are looking pretty weak this year. I've got no doubt about it that we can get through the group stages - I've a feeling we will be against Ghana in the knockout stages and France in the quarter finals. Brazil in the semi finals and then if we can get though them it looks like an England V Spain final.

That's my prediction on the basis that England do get into the final.. which i'm doubtful but we can all hope.

"And Lampard equalizes from the spot. Now it's time to really get at them. But wait, Dempsey again. It would be fair to say that he's capatilized on the gap at the back left by Johnson. Crosses it in. Knocked down. Donovan. USA lead 2-1!"

[Shasown]

Well at least Engerland will have world wide support, the English and the Great Satan hating muslims.

[Locke.]

I feel sorry for the Irish, Scottish and Welsh having to watch the better country on the Big Screen in the biggest sporting event of the year. Can't be a good feeling.

You know Rooney has Irish in him right? lol

[MissKittyFantastico]

So do I but I was born in England and so was he so that doesn't come into it lol

[Locke.]

England's best 2 players from Liverpool...

[Big Brother Fan]

I feel sorry for the Irish, Scottish and Welsh having to watch the better country on the Big Screen in the biggest sporting event of the year. Can't be a good feeling.

I know, watching Spain is a real torture for me.

[Locke.]

I thought watching France would have been even more torture for you :)

[MissKittyFantastico]

Now now play nice lads

[Novo]

The Rumours are Carrick is starting

I hope not..

[MissKittyFantastico]

Oh god help us.....

[Claymores]

Oh god help us.....

Maybe, just maybe USA can burst your bubble...........and stop this nonesense in the press about being winners.

I'm so excited I already have my USA top on

[Claymores]

If Engerland play your 2 Japanese strikers up front you'll be fine

[Claymores]

All anti English should be banned from this thread tomorrow night :)

Will the toys come out the pram if yez don't win Miss Kit?

[setanta]

You know, I actually would love to see England beaten tomorrow the way I've been treated tonight on here just because I feel differently about things. F£cking mental.

[Novo]

The way you've been treated?

[30stone]

I thought watching France would have been even more torture for you :)

You wait.


Henry will captain france in the final..

Meaning henry will be the first man to lift the world cup!

[30stone]

You know, I actually would love to see England beaten tomorrow the way I've been treated tonight on here just because I feel differently about things. F£cking mental.

You bring it on yourself.

[alc09]

Where's everyone watching the footy?

Down the pub or having a few mates round?

BBQ for me and a few beers, I'm looking forward to it.

[King Gizzard]

My mates have gone to ibiza

and I don't see my dad much so

I ll be watching it on my own at home :(

Yeah Ben, but it's neverending from some people. Can't understand the level of hostility that me liking to see England lose is met with on here. It's mental.

Getting some back - ie Henry or whatever - is fine, but people getting all huffy and basically hating over it is something else. It just baffles me.

[Jase]

I was meant to be going to the O2 to see it but not thats not happening sooo at home probs

[Nemo123]

Today's game will either be funny or tragic, and if we're lucky, both.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Today's the day!!

COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!

[KG.]

Getting a chinese in with family and some mates with a great deal of alcohol. Sorted.

[King Gizzard]

I made the opening post so beautiful

[MissKittyFantastico]

Me and my bloke will be watching at home, cba with going to the pub for this one tbh

Pizza, San Miguel, England - perfect combo :)

[King Gizzard]

I am on my lonesome self tonight

[Locke.]

I can either go to a barbecue with 2 mates and a gang of people I don't know to watch the game, or I can stay in get a chinese and enjoy it by myself and actually hear the commentary. Hmm...

[King Gizzard]

Only 5 goals in 5 games :(

[MissKittyFantastico]

Stay in David!!

[MissKittyFantastico]

Crouch will score 5 with his 50pence head tonight

[King Gizzard]

Heskey is apparently started

For gods sake Capello get Crouchy up there

and Magnums

[King Gizzard]

Gotta have full attention on the game though

When I'm on here at the same time as watching games I end up not actually watching them

[MissKittyFantastico]

Yeah I know, I'll probably stay offline actually and just update my status on FB when we score from my phone lol

[MissKittyFantastico]

The Battle Lines are Redrawn.

Within a 200-year rivalry, a 60-year grudge match returns.

Last time they met on football's biggest stage, the U.S. won, and it was called a miracle.

But 1950 was a long time ago.

England has Rooney ready to crush U.S. hopes, while Landon Donovan leads an industrious team much improved since that that fateful day in Brazil.

What will be written this time?

Don't really want to get into this, but to say in James' favour this ISN'T an all English forum; there are all nationalities here and to expect everybody to support England is daft..

[King Gizzard]

So this has actually turned into an anti-English thread again tonight? Might as well head out then, Can't be dealing with this tosh

[Wildcat!]

You guys are ridiculous getting upset of anti enland posts. Its the WC! MOst neutrals (ie the other 100 coutries who didnt qualify) will always root for the under dogs and against the big teams. I root against all them, brazil, italy, spain, england, holland etc.....

Its jsut fun that way!

Those Yanks are not at our Level
Fact.

England are all over 'em.

oh okay, heskey :love: for (potentially) injuring their goalie.

[Nemo123]

Gerrard as had a nightmare at Liverpool, might have guessed he'd enjoy himself most tonight. I knew he would.

[Jase]

No way should that be a card

[GiRTh]

Good tactics taking Milner off.

No way should that be a card

[Jayson]

Green you bellend.

What the hell is it with England keepers?

[Nemo123]

He won't get picked again

[GiRTh]

Gonna have to get him out my fantasy team

[MissKittyFantastico]

So no David Jsames right! He sucks right??? LOL! :D

Nah James would be my first choice keeper, then Hart, then Green

Heskey is having a good game!

[Nemo123]

Defining moment of a career. feel sorry for him, a bit.

[setanta]

Have to admit that I do feel bad for Green, a bit.

[Ninastar]

:D

[King Gizzard]

Feel gutted for him

Hope they don't make a knee jerk reaction and take him off

Hopefully we win and he has a stormer of a second half

[MissKittyFantastico]

Terrible mistake just terrible, can't feel sorry for him at the moment

[Nemo123]

Heskey is our secret weapon

[arsenalforever]

Poor rooney. this set up doesn't suit his style of play

[setanta]

But it's no more than the States deserve. They've been the better team.

[Big Brother Fan]

Delighted! :D

[arsenalforever]

Poor Milner gets took off after half a hour
green makes a howler

England look toothless
rooney is been made to look for chances

[MissKittyFantastico]

Landon has been fantastic for the US, as has Dempsey

They're working really hard to keep Rooney out of the game

Respect to them so far I gotta say

[arsenalforever]

But it's no more than the States deserve. They've been the better team.

this


htye ahve grafted their way back into the game

Plus The Us beat Spain last year

no push overs

[Big Brother Fan]

Rooney is the main player, why aren't they building the team around him?

<3 for Green

[Locke.]

Will be a laugh coming on here at full time when we've battered them and looking at the excuses the Irish come up with.

[arsenalforever]

Landon has been fantastic for the US, as has Dempsey

Respect to them so far I gotta say

its england style of play keeping Rooney back Kiity

Landon and dempsey have been good
England can't handle them


Gerrard and Lampard can not play together

It's not just that Steve, you gotta give props for the way the US are man marking him, every time he gets the ball he has two players on him applying pressure, forcing mistakes

Agreed about Lampard and Gerrard though, been proven time and time again

[Big Brother Fan]

Will be a laugh coming on here at full time when we've battered them and looking at the excuses the Irish come up with.

I'll hold you to this

[Wildcat!]

Have to admit that I do feel bad for Green, a bit.

I feel bad for David James all the time. Everytime someone shows potential, they drop him, like a bag of roten potatotes, even though he is clearly one of the best goalies in the world still. Same happened with Robinson couple of years ago. THey drop james again, and Robinson had that funny miss kick that went in the back of the net!
I bet he is smiling inside. :D

[MissKittyFantastico]

King off for Carragher

Jesus sounds like he's injured again, why the hell did he even take him??!!

****s sake

[Shaun]

-wishes the likes of andy/david would stop making lewd and unfounded expectations about us supposedly thrashing them-

[Shaun]

Wow, a Heskey miss. How novel.

Yeah, easy group my hole. Well done USA.

4th favourites, my arse!

If all your going to do here is slate england the **** off

[Ella]

I actually can't believe it! It's actually embarrassing!

And i'm not slating England! Just so mad at the moment!

[Nemo123]

The Sundays will have a field day

[Wildcat!]

Good job USA. And let me tell you nopw, Algeria are very good, and probably the team no one knows about! They knocked out the African Champion Egypt, and they will be tough.

[setanta]

Brasil, Holland and Spain will be pi$$ing themselves after watching that. Really poor performance.

[King Gizzard]

meh, well done USA

[Nemo123]

Good job USA. And let me tell you nopw, Algeria are very good, and probably the team no one knows about! They knocked out the African Champion Egypt, and they will be tough.

Algeria are even worse than the US

[MissKittyFantastico]

1 - 1 is a fair result, we played much better in the second half and is the best I've seen us play recently

Fair play to the USA, they were the better team in the first half without a doubt

SWP needs to start next game over Milner that's without a doubt, Heskey proved tonight why Capello picked him, Johnson played well, as did Lampard in the second half. Rooney was man marked the whole game, he came into his own more towards the end though. Shame we couldn't steal it at the end but I'll actually settle for that.

A slow start doesn't mean anything, I'm not panicking just yet. The only thing I still question is why the hell did he take Ledley King?

[Ella]

Brasil, Holland and Spain will be pi$$ing themselves after watching that. Really poor performance.

Yeah that's why it's really embarrassing, England as a whole were so cocky about winning aswell.

[Locke.]

Brasil, Holland and Spain will be pi$$ing themselves after watching that. Really poor performance.

Don't think you watched the second half mate.

Was a good performance from USA first half, shame they needed Robert Green to score for them.

Just have to beat the other 2 by more goals than USA do and the group is sorted.

[Ninastar]

Kinda glad they drew tbh.
People were getting too arsewholeish on FB and it was like ****!

[Wildcat!]

Algeria are even worse than the US

Well, like most people I suppose, youre in for a rude awakening!

[King Gizzard]

Don't get me wrong, we still look very strong though.

We started the 1966 tournament with a draw, how did that end...

Were you watching the same game as me? They were pants. Getting through the group is immaterial - if you play like that against a big team you'll be destroyed.

[Stacey.]

i'm just pleased we didn't lose.

[King Gizzard]

We played well! it was just one of those games

[Shaun]

we were unlucky not to win, tbh

England Played Well Like good old viera just said

Looks like it's 7 Points then

End of the first half:

England 45%
USA 55%

End of second half:

England 53%
USA 47%

Over the 2 halves.

Shots on target, cba looking that up but it was a few more than them.

And at the end of the day... At least we're there.

Theres one thing just having banter, and theres one thing being trollish, that was the latter

[MissKittyFantastico]

People need to rememeber some of these players have little to no experience of playing together, this is only the first game!!

Like I said, best performance I've seen from us so far from the friendlies etc, some quick, snappy passes, Heskey was probably MOTM for me actually, he held the ball up amazingly well, just need some things to come together better in the games going forward, it will come!!

This is the kind of arrogance, like youre just gonnna dismiss the other 2 teams in the group as given win (Which you though would be agasint the USA as well), the kind of arrogance that will get you eliminated. You have to earn it, and respect the other teams. its not given.

World Cup 2010: England success impossible' says Johann Cruyff
Dutch football legend Johan Cruyff has offered a damning verdict of England's chances at the World Cup and holds Fabio Capello responsible. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup-2010/teams/england/7810128/World-Cup-2010-World-Cup-success-impossible-for-Fabio-Capellos-England-says-Johan-Cruyff.html

Don't start being dickish because threads like this will end up closed!!

Glen Johnson was MOTM for me, woulda been Heskey but he went offside too much.

You're telling me that based on that performance you have a chance of winning this World Cup? That was a truly awful display and you'll see the same thing written in all the papers tomorrow. We're talking about the States here for feck sake.

[setanta]

The USA's central defender with the beard was the man of the match.

[Smithy]

What was the end score?

Yeah Johnson had a really good game, was well impressed with him tonight :)

The papers are negative 99% of the time. If you're listening to them then, well... I won't even say what I'm thinking. And no I don't think we'll win the world cup, I've said Holland will for ages.

[MissKittyFantastico]

What was the end score?

1 - 1

The US was an own goal, terrible mistake by Green :/

He redeemed himself though in the 2nd half to be fair, I may have been more than a bit harsh in the heat of the moment lol

[Wildcat!]

The USA's central defender with the beard was the man of the match.

Onyewu! And he is coming back from injury! He played well, given that Heskey is such a handful for a sweeper\!
