We are so gonna kick some American booty

Argh! We so should have won that game. Not because Robert Green is a muppet, cause his shocking howler was equalised by his awesome save against Altidore, but because we outplayed USA. They were good, but we did play better. Our passing was crisp, we made quite a few chances and were strong in defence.

If only Joe Cole had been playing. Silly Fabio


England lucked out big time too when that ball hit the post. Another six inches and you guys might have lost the game instead of a tie.

In all fairness I thought that England's ball handling was superb. There was a nice chunk of a few minutes where they just sat and passed it without even advancing past half field.

Yes, "ball handling" is generally frowned upon. Unlike in other games sometimes called *foot*ball. *NM* Tim - 13/06/2010 12:17:12 AM 284 Views
