USA vs England Today.

[toystalker]

the mess up from the keeper was a howler but like any pro he came back out and went on to make a very good save to prevent the usa 2nd goal

it is a big howler but after watching the algeria game today we saw yet another 1, folks are blaming the new adidas ball, apparently its too round LOL

hoping the horns dont ruin this world cup, i know its a tradition but im starting to get annoyed with the sound now, i may watch with the mute on soon
and hopefully when the better teams start to play we will see some good fottball

[Nostalgiabuff]

I watched part of the game but ended up falling asleep...late night...lol
those horns are annoying, even the commentators were complainign about them in the oepning game of the WC

This is what I love about the World Cup! USA earned the draw but still the lack of respect and excuses.

England for sure has better individual players but USA works better as a team. It is as easy for me to chalk up the lousy English goal to lousy defense by one player just as much as Dempsey's goal that should not have gone in due to an unlucky bounce off the glove. It really could have gone either way. England had many chances to score the winning goal but Tim Howard is one of the best keepers in the world. England also got a lot of lucky breaks...Altidore's breakaway was a sure goal and a lot of the set pieces were beautifully played by the U.S. and could have very scored. I personally think it would be a huge mistake to change keepers in England unless he screws on an easy one again. It was already noted that England had a weakness at keeper going into the WC and I think it would be a pretty major psychological disaster to change keepers at this point.

the keeper did a bill buckner!

Yeah but Buckner had Bad knees so you felt sorry for buck......This guy just let it slip through.....

Well, lets be honest here, USA got lucky.

You could say the US got unlucky when Altidore's shot went off the post. I honestly feel you create your own luck.

As for the English keeper, he was suspect going into the match. It would devastate him to get pulled but it might be the best for the team.

Well, lets be honest here, USA got lucky.

No doubt, But we did hold them to 1 goal well 2 if you count ours lol

Well, lets be honest here, USA got lucky.

[Meule]

Not bad against a team such as England

[Zemo]

Yes, I'll take it. When England scored so early, I was like here we go. But a tie is fine with me.

[wyldpny]

I don't know...maybe USA deserves to have it's own thread?

[Hector]

Why is this not in the World Cup thread?

The vuvuzelas are a south african tradition.

Vuvuzela - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They're a futbol tradition! They sell them in South America outside all the soccer stadiums!

Can't afford airhorns.

Question is, do we play the same keeper (England that is) in the next game. USA did well, congrats. I think both USA and England will go through.
