A frustrated footie game brings out the worst in me!!!

I don't understand why your supporting England Leah. They only have one Utd player in the starting line up

I hope England continue to struggle then that way we'll see ore of your posts here

The media are showing a lack of respect towards the USA like Engalnd had a divine right to beat them. It's no shock it turned out to be a draw. The USA have had good results int World Cup since 1986. Their no mugs. Theres plenty good players like Howard, Dempsey and Donovan.

Sorry to have to point this out but the USA didnt qualify for Mexico 1986.They have played in every tournament since 1990.Their best performances were in 1994 and in 2002 when they made the knockout stages.

true but the team now are 14th in the world..and are the only team in over 3 years to beat spain they deserve respect which is the point highway was making i think.

England will make it through to the next stage however when they come up against a big team they may struggle a bit then. They have fantastic players but they dont seem to be able to play as a team on the big occasions and with the media prediciting them to win the Cup anything less than wins will damage their confidence and will lead to their eventual downfall

Sorry since 1990. Like Benin said they beat Spain. And they were also leading in the confederations cup final against Brazil. Their not the small team they once were.

I felt really bad for Rob last night, It was a "howler" of a mistake to make.
I hope England do well because their only accross the "Pond".
The media do have a big part to play in matches escpecially for England because so much is expected of the team, one mistake and a player will be eaten alive by the media (They really dont get a break).
I'm glad he did make a mistake so early because maybe this might keep him on his toes for the next few games.
Last nights match was a bit boring I think its because all the players were a bit nervous (Their first real competitive game) and the USA are not a bad side at all.
They nearly bet Brazil in the Confederations Cup Final.
International footie is a different game for England compared to premiership footie even though their is so many World Class English players in the Premiership and leagues around the world.
I think this because English players of the National team dont really get enough time to know each others style of playing, yes there is good individual players but not goood team players and thats down to the Itialian trying his best to pair them accordingly.
The longer England last in the W.C. the better they will get they just need a small bit of time.
Maybe i'm wrong, maybe I'm right, I just said i'd say it. lol..
