***Official England v USA thread***

[Tyrone Biggums]

Well done Green you spastic.

 

[Smithy]

Poor start.

 

[Acker79]

Mabe itvhd should have cut to a few more commercials midgame?

 

[auschr]

England were lucky to get a point there.

 

[perseus]

Best to get the balls up game in the first game then in a later game. And we have got one point so it is not a disaster. Carragher did not get sent off.

Still it seems there is something about the balls in use. Passes going astray, shots going miles out.

Not enjoyable at all. Too quick and rushed.

 

[The Wizard]

Decent - Gerrard, Heskey and Johnson

Ok - Lennon, Lampard, King, Cole, Rooney & Terry

Utter Toilet - Wright-Phillips

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Rooney was crap along with Lampard. Where's the passion?

Same old, same old.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Totally Unacceptable.

WTF is Lennon and Wright Phillips there for if Walcott is left out. Lennon is a winger...RUN TO THE BY LINE YOU USELESS C...oh no, of course...you get the ball and stop and pass it back.!!!!

This is USA FFS not Brazil.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

second half = gash.

Beckham could coach the wingers how to cross a ball for the next decade and they'd still be shit at it

 

[Westdene Seagull]

f***ing ITV !!! Missed the goal as clearly a number of others did - email fired off !

Dear ITV,

As a football supporter I wish to complain in the strongest terms regards the pathetic service supplied by ITV HD for the England match today. My family missed the England goal due to the incompetence of ITV. It is well known amongst football supporters how poor ITV are at broadcasting football but tonight took the biscuit. In such important match some plum decided to cut to adverts just as England scored.

It is time that ITV stopped showing football – you have been an non-league broadcaster of football for many a year. If you actually stopped the adverts during matches you might just stand a chance but your greed seems to override customer service. Sky seem capable of broadcasting football with adverts and the BBC seem top notch yet ITV are unprofessional, incompetent, non-customer friendly, greedy and down right pathetic !

I will be writing to my MP suggesting ITV should no longer have any rights to football.

Yours right royally pissed off,

Westdene Seagull

 

[perth seagull]

England 1 - 1 Robert Green.

And why did Carragher come on for King in the second half? The guy is a dinosaur and with him and Green behind him, we were lucky we didn't concede again.

 

[Ernest]

Here we go again, history repeats itself

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Always thought we start with a draw. Decent enough start, no World Cup winners play well in their first game.

 

[Gully]

This is USA FFS not Brazil.

...against whom we would probably be an embarassment.

 

[newhaven seagull 85]

oh well clutching at straws here but when we won the world cup we drew our first game and when we reached the semi finals in 1990 we also drew our first game.

now where are those straws!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Why are they making out that Green made a wonder save?

But apart from that, happy enough?

At least Lennon set up a few chances. Wright-Phillips just isn't an international player ... makes leaving out Walcott & Johnson seem a bit weird.

 

[Spun Cuppa]

I think we will play better against decent opposition tbf

he didn't though did he?

His crossing was complete and utter SHIT.
