World Cup 2010

Silly mistake. We'll be OK.

Lets hope so. Can they replace him? What are the rules? No way do I put him back in. I want England to win. So far, they must play better if they want to beat a team like Argentina. If that guys does that and played for Colombia, I wouldnt go back home. Seriously. Remember those Colombians that lost and were murdered? England has to bench this guy.

Where's the first down markers?

(...whoo hoo God Bless America!)

Too far mate. It's a sport - we invented it, we should know.

a tie may be as good as a win in this case.

Silly mistake. We'll be OK.

you may have the striker, but we got the goalkeeper

[Knebby]

I'm happy. We were the better team by miles. xx

Really?

A bit of luck kept this from being a loss for your team.

[Knebby]

Yeah. Just look at the stats - attempts on goal. A bit of luck gave your team a goal. Don't try and tell me that was some kind of classic skillful goal!

i'm talking about the one that hit the post.

that was luck for your side.

[danelectro59]

Yeah. Just look at the stats - attempts on goal.

sorry, mate

that doesn't mean shit.

the only thing that matters is the final score.

[Ady]

I'm happy with that.

When the USA equalised I thought...

But there's no need to panic...

Ah ok - so that doesn't make you lucky?

Come back to me when FOOTBALL is your sport

That was disgracefull to let that goal in at this level. Are you kidding me? England should have won the game 4-0. Instead, they now better take care of those other two teams, but they have to bench Green. That is the biggest choke job in a major sporting event I have ever seen. That should not happen at the high school level like one analyst said. Where did they find this guy? They have 4 years to get ready and that is the best they can come up with? I am disgusted. I turned it off and went to the store. I knew they would not win after that. Had to deflate the entire team. Bench that bum. Do it now while there is still time to win or put him back in there and lose for sure. Argentina will put 5 past him. Get a goalie!

[Knebby]

Jesus Christ give the guy a break. Yeah he screwed up. We don't slaughter (or shoot) people for that. It is a sport - and every screw-up is part of the sport. Get real! The World Cup is meant to have ups and downs - go with the flow!

Thanks for your "support" anyway.

BTW, Green pulled off a save that stopped us from losing the game while you were out.

So you think he should play the next game? Could have fooled me its just a game. Ha. Lets see if the London newspapers share your sentiments in the morning. I know they won't.

Maybe he should. He wouldn't do that again - and if he did - so be it - but I wouldn't advocate him being shot like in Colombia!

LONDON Newspapers?

Hello UK here, more than just LONDON, more than just one mistake by a goalie.

[silvermedalist]

I would not either. They are crazy down there and its not just a game to them. I hope that England does well from here on out. They should win the division one would think. And then, my guess is Argentina will be waiting.

[Knebby]

And so will we. We are at least equal to them and always have been

[danelectro59]

judging from the last 44 years, it hasn't been your sport either

[Knebby]

It's ok - we only invented it. What comes around goes around

And did I mention I hate at least 50 per cent of our current team?

Swings and roundabouts mate xxx

[danelectro59]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

yea, right.

for what it's worth, your team didn't exactly light it up now did they?

one goal, less than 4 minutes in and then nothing. shoulda, woulda, coulda's don't get it. and even if that one goal had stood, it wasn't what you really wanted, was it? 4-0 would have been better because then (in your mind) "we would've put those Yanks in their place!" You're right, Knebby, soccer isn't our game, and never will be. it never really existed here until a bunch of yuppies in the 80's decided they needed a game that boys and girls can play together. so a tie from this is rather enjoyable.

oh, and if you ever want to step out on the basketball court, baseball diamond or football field, we'll compare notes afterwards.

I'm just happy to quote this from now 'till kingdom come.

Don't come back to me later in this tournament trying to claim it matters to you as much as us.

We know.
