Eng vs usa 1-1
 

England played poor, we should of won tho.

england didn't play great, but were still the better team, and yes they should have won.

England were shit, they better step up if they want to win the cup! I don't think they stand a chance.

they you mean ENG?

Good... we needed yet another thread about this subject.

England seriously undertone. Where the fuck was Rooney??
The draw was fair considering that the USA team didn't do shit either.

yes i do

100% true. I hope they get kicked out before the knockout stages. Last night was brilliant, I was surrounded by thousands of England fans, the silence (outwith 10-20 USA fans cheering) when the USA goal went in was incredible.

Because your a scot I know I will get a unbiased answer :winkwink: why is it that the english players are great at playing for thier clubs but when put together for thier country they just dont seem to go well together .......I spoke to a group of germans and they seemed to have this view too.

England played well considering we had the ball up the USA end most of the time. Its lucky for USA that our goalie fucked up & dropped the ball. :(

Neither of them looked competitive on any level, almost like girls teams, seriously.

England has problems they need to figure out quick. They miss Gareth Barry dearly and having Lampard w/ Gerrard in the middle isn't working. IMO, the US have gained much more confidence/momentum from this match then England.

That being said, I am glad we are playing Slovenia first. Something tells me Algeria is going to be coming out guns blazing, after losing their first.

Go USA!

Englands biggest problem is egos, pure and simple. Frank Lampard is an outstanding footballer for Chelsea, but not for England. It seems that Steven Gerrard is constantly being pulled out of position in order to accomodate Lampard. I personally would have the England midfield like this

Joe Cole wide left, Aaron Lennon wide right, Gareth Barry defensive midfielder and Steven Gerrard with a free role, like he gets at Liverpool. Lampard for me would be benched until he can let go of his over inflated ego.

I also think that Emile Heskey does create chances for Rooney and his midfielders, but I don't think he creates enough to be given the start every game, he is very poor at scoring, the chance he had one on one, if that was Crouch, Rooney, Defoe, hell even Darren Bent who was left at home, England go on and win the game.

I love it tho, I hope Capello keeps making the mistakes, the media is already turning on him, todays papers are calling him "Mad" "Insane" "Lost it" etc. 1 damn game and he is villified already.

btw, Lennon is fucking frightening. Suck a dangerous player.

it was a weak game, i was expecting more from england.

Heskey has a cross on his back, shouldn't even be in the 23.

I think it was a fair result. Both will advance in that group.
