I loved the game.  I am glad that USA was able to come away with a tie instead of the loss most people expected.  USA had a few chances to actually take the lead.  

Now, if only the USA players could at least lip sync the words correctly to our National Anthem.   :furious


<S> Brits, thanks for the great game.

Balanced match in my opinion, even though England did seem dominant in some areas, the US team did a very good job in containing the english strikers after the first goal. Altidore's chance off the post, if it had gone in, would have been the defining moment for all of group C.

what has surprised me so far this WC is the piss poor free kicks.  You all wonder why Beckham was so special he could hit the target 3 out of 5 and turn matches with his quality delivery.

Things I would have done differently.  James in goal,  crouch on for heskey,  he could have headed in at least one of the 20 odd crosses that went begging.  After watching it though I still don't think we have what it takes to win the dam thing.

I"ve played soccer most of my life and I watch the MLS regulary (Red Bull fan) and I always love the tenseness of a close game. Anyone can take it for themselves. I was really impressed the most by howard though, he made 2 spectacular saves.

A draw against England for USA is just as good as a win in my book.  Bruv, don't be such a welsh!   :D

Thank God for Timmy Howard.  Anybody else in goal and US loses.  Tough breaks for England, but they played well enough to win and shouldn't have much trouble with Algeria and Slovenia.  Crouch in there for Heskey as Bruv said though, and I don't think there's much doubt we'll be seeing David James in goal next time.  

Great result for the US, should settle them down a bit.  Altidore played well, did the hard work of a target forward holding the ball up to allow the midfielders up into the attack and a nice turn also on Carragher.  Findley not so much.  Didn't seem comfortable.  Edson Buddle should be starting instead, having a great season in MLS.  And I'd prefer Torres in the midfield over Clark, although most likely Clark will stay in there because of his defense.  Overall, looking good going into the next two matches.

I thought Heskey had a good game - he won everything in the air against the US centre backs, held the ball well and layed on Gerrard for the goal... having said that he should have scored, Shaun Wright Philips should also have had one. Green redeemed himself with the save. Fair result.

We drew with Uruguay in the first game in '66 so it should be a breeze now  :lol
