Re: The World Cup 2010
Aside from the Green blunder that game would have ended up a dull but comfortable 1-0 win. Unfortunately it did and we'll have to move on. Worst thing is it could well be down to goal difference now who comes out of our group 1st and 2nd, which isn't ideal considering 2nd place in our group will most likely meet Germany in the 2nd round.
I agree on Heskey, he is good at holding the ball up but nothing else, he doesn't have a strikers intinct at all. Last night when Lennon played it across the box Heskey was stood directly behind Rooney, a pointless position to take up as he'll never get the ball there, either it will come to Rooney who'll shoot or it'll miss them both (which is what happened). Much rather have Crouch who's usually good for a goal or two for England. Having said that I'd go with 5 in midfield and Rooney on his own in the next game.

How come the TV doesn't know how much "extra time" there is?? Can't they sync up the TV clock to the refs official timekeeping? Or is that part of the fun/tradition of the sport?!
Good Game. I watched it all and plan to watch what I can. Yeah, the goal was weak but we'll take it. When England scored quickly it didn't look good, so you gotta give the US credit for shutting them out for 85 minutes.

Yes. With 17 appearances, 11 semifinals and 7 finals they are imo THE World Cup team in history. Although traditionally labeled as a boring and defensive team, the war obviously didn't help matters, they have the last couple of championships showed intelligent and attacking football like few others. They have also never lost a penalty shootout.
Here's to Der Manschaft 2010!

Re: The World Cup 2010
Certainly looked strong yesterday although Australia were pretty poor. Certainly not relishing an England v Germany second round game should the dice roll that way.
