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.
