Very disappointed on todays showing. Nobody able to run the game for England, where were the midfield? Lampard was a no show and the rest were chasing the states for lots of the game. Def. need to raise their game, play with some urgency and confidence. Lets hope they get the message or it,s another big let down.
That goalie blocks shots like BP stops oil spills.
It's a long competition, I'm hoping that when the opposition gets better, the guys will turn it up a couple of notches. It often happens that way.
And it ain't over till the fat lady sings; and she hasn't even arrived in South Africa yet.
I'm really peeved off; this was the worst possible result. Like everyone else, my heart was in an England win but my head said that was not going to happen. Therefore I had a tenner on a USA win. Normally, I don't put a deposit down in the bookies unless I'm 100% certain of free money in return so I've now lost out.
Just wondering about the Algeria game, I'm deciding between another draw or an England win and the Slovenia game, yet again a draw or or a Slovene win.
Did anyone see our lot 'singing' the National Anthem? I counted 2 singing, 3 mumbling words and the rest of 'em with their gobs shut. Pathetic! At least the yanks - who are just as dumb as our lot - had the decency to turn, look at their flag and stick their hands over their hearts.

Think this hand over your heart business is a bit over the top , something made popular by Ronnie Reagan, its got to the stage now its "the proper thing to do" and you get nasty looks if you don't it , sod it, to me its pure cant something akin to raising an outstreched right arm when a dead Austrian leader passed by .
im making a habit of this .. said the england match would be a draw .. got that right .. my bro came for tea tonight ... as he was leaving he said what the result going to be .. i said Germany v Austrailia .. said 4-0 to germany .. he said laughed and said 2-1 to germany ... and whats the score at the min .. wi about 8 mins left .. 4-0 to Germany .. now do i visit the bookies with the next scoreline .. lol
I might start placing bets on your predictions - altho germans got a ref in their favour hmm

I think that had a lot to do with Black Power. In the '36 Olympics, the Americans did the hat over the heart thingy, and were roundly booed by the Krauts. The Americans are, in general, a proud and patriotic people ... I won't deny that their drive to win is sometimes annoying, but, whether it is hockey or soccer, they show up to play; and they give everything they have.
Bring on the big bird early.
She can't be as bad as the din from those blasted vuvuzelas.

noticed some of the Aussie players during their anthem also did the 'hand on heart' whilst others did (IMHO) the right thing .
Question for Aussie members of Accy web ....... do you or your family/friends do the 'hand on the heart' thing when your national anthem is played ?

Odd, those colonials.
Any Englishman knows that's the time for last minute mental preparation, basking in national pride, realising that you're one of the chosen ones...and for a last scratch of your balls.
