What'd I say. 10 goals. Jesus fucking Christ.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Oh my oh my. After that Green deserves to be kicked from SA back to England by his team mates.

ROFL @ Green. That play was just about as bad as our whole team in the match with Spain.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

1-1. I'll take that in a heartbeat. My nerves are absolutely frayed. God. I don't know how that looked for a neutral, but I thought it was a good game, lots of up and down, wide open play in the second half.

Good game England. Good luck the rest of the tournament.

Well played USA.

I doubt anybody else will be quaking in their boots after that performance, Ingerland are definitely going to have to improve to get past the quarters. For all the Heskey apologists out there, imo his negatives far outweigh the positives he occasionally provides to Rooney and Gerrard. A "real" striker would have actually looked up and placed the absolute sitter he had either side of Howard instead of blindly blasting it straight into his bread basket, shocking.(ok, he did set up Gerrard's goal but meh)

That said though, I don't think they played that badly and if you take away the Green howler, they could have gone on and won by more. Looks like they will have to win both of their next games though.

The eternal left side problem reared its ugly head again though, Milner and Wright-Phillips both treating the ball like a suet pudding.

Heskey was England's best player. Traditionalist will complain about his crap finishing and yes he should have scored but the fact that that was England's best chance apart from the goal was all the fault of his teammates. He held it up very well considering the lack of support for most of the game, and when Rooney and the midfielders did start pushing closer to him England started making real headway. Then lost it again when Crouch came on, despite Heskey being injured by then.

I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you.

Well, that ruined my evening. I had hopes of an England-victory inspired bender, but noooo, those useless fucking lumps had to put me in a sour mood and lead to me trudging home in a pathetically mostly sober manner. Wtf is Shaun Wright-Phillips doing that squad, he is DREADFUL. Carragher demonstrated why he should've stayed retired from international football, Green showed why Arsenal want him (with howlers like that, he fits our GK mould perfectly), and did Lampard do a single thing beyond blasting the ball over the bar from a freekick?

Well done to the US, but we were fucking shocking and will need to be a lot better than that if we want to get far. Once more England leave me depressed, and once more I'm surprised that I didn't expect it again.

Oh dear there have been better England games. Not impressed. I am, however, still hopeful. I know we can get through and there were times, especially in the second half, where England clearly outshone. If Rooney can actually start playing in the next couple of games, tied with a solid performance from Lennon we can actually do pretty well...

I guess I should have had some guarana and stayed up for that one eh?

Ah well, 0430 on Monday is our first match (about 1900 Sunday GMT). Against Germany. Oh dear.

Fingers and toes crossed.

EDIT: just watched the highlights - poor old Green will be having nightmares about that one until the day he dies. Too much time to think about it maybe?

At least it wasn't to lose the match in the knockout stage.

Gerrards' goal was pretty sweet at the end of a nice forward move though.
