Group C (England, Algeria, Slovenia, USA! USA! USA!)

[Fernandinho]

good idea from donovan, rather then sending it way over the bar from a direct kick there he drilled it low and hard past the wall towards the goal and the crowd looking for a deflection and it nearly came off for them

2-2!

This is an exciting tournament now

Absolutely **** refereeing today

2-2 FT

USA were robbed. Great game though!!

[destinydude]

At least the ref blew the whistle before the ball went in. Dont know why he had to blow it tho'.

[BrooklynRed]

We were robbed! I can't believe after that fight back that sh*t ref blew off a perfectly good goal; if it wasn't a goal it was 4 penalties at once! Unreal. Couple that with the Spanish ref in the Germany game today and FINALLY the **** refereeing has reared its ugly head. Why did it have to be against us?



That said, if we beat Algeria by two goals or better we're through no matter what. If England win both matches and we beat Algeria, we're through. If Slovenia beat England and we win, we're through. If England and Slovenia draw and we win by two goals, we're through over Slovenia on goal difference. So, we better hammer Algeria no matter what. Still, utterly gutted that the team were not given that third goal when they did so much to earn it. Just a horrible call and now this unaccountable FIFA system will probably see the horrible Malawian c*nt in the knockout stages. I hope he watches the replay and ****s himself again, the ****. ARGGGHH!

****

[wiw]

I've had a great afternoon, I was at a clients and the boss left at 1. They had a massive HD tele on the desk I was working on, and alhough I was still working I saw the whole game

****ing bring on our game

[BrooklynRed]

Also, how likely is it that Findley's yellow for handball will be overturned? That was an insane card and rules him out for the next match (not that I'm complaining... he sucks)... the ref was just out of his head on these calls.

[Daffy Duck]

I feel gutted for you because of that insane goal decision, however that is nothing in comparison to how I feel about wasting that first half... WHAT THE ****

[Broner]

England team:

James
Johnson
Carragher
Terry
Cole
Lennon
Lampard
Barry
Gerrard
Heskey
Rooney


So James gets the nod over Green, what happens if James makes a big mistake tonight?

Hart will start in the next match?

All seems a bit of a mess imo, surely Green should be given another chance to get the mistake out of his system.

[Shaggy]

I agree with James' selection. Where's that team from? Bit early innit?
