Yeah you're right, I'm sure Spain didn't try at all, it's not like they were unbeaten in 34 games previous...oh, wait...

Will have to delay hitting town but I've a feeling to could be well worth it.

Fun to see the spin they will put on the game to make it a positive result

It is only one game and England will have to get better. Wouldn't lose sleep over it if I were English.

Capello's next task:

Find out does the Nigerian goalkeeper have an English grandmother.

I think a lot of the England fan's would disagree with you there.

Gutless performance from England really. Howler from Green. A massive change in tactics needed now methinks. At least they didn't lose it which is the main thing.

Ardent

The US played really well. A draw is just about the correct result. Feel so sorry for Green, hope this doesn't cost him his place for the rest of the competition.

You're talking about a future England manager there boyo

Did you not see his impressive farty gnome stare from the dugout after the Green mistake?

Positively McLarenesque.

England has been lucky with the draw.
That is the only reason that they will make it to the next round.

Thanx 4 The Fish

So Lucozade ad just before the game said - "The difference between football and soccer? The next 90 minutes." So obviously for all their efforts to be patronising they have finally said something that makes sense. No difference at all

I can't believe how cursed England are in regards to goalkeepers. Foster, Carson, Robinson, Green and lastly, but not least, the original calamity....David James.

Posh would be a better footballer. He'd probably be a better singer. Don't forget that they invented the phrase "Bend it like Beckham" to cover the fact that the guy can't even kick a ball straight.

Joe Hart next please.

Giles just said that match was the worst of the games thus far. I personally thought the France game last night was worse.

Capello has a lot of work to do before the next game alright. Presuming Barry will be fit to start, so what does he do with Gerrard, hopefully dumps Heskey for him. I think Heskey had a good game, but the system didn't work.

Dunphy: Rooney looked ordinary tonight



Was Rooney even playing

That's what you get for having a headline like that, showing no respect for the US.

What's the headline tomorrow?

England seriously lacked pace. A lot of long balls, they should've brought Agbonlahour.

It may be a draw, but it feels like a defeat for England.

That's the worst sentence ever put up on this forum.

peabutler

For me England's performance here is simple, Fabio Capello came into a world cup without knowing his number one Keeper, His best CB partnership, his best RM-LM and who and how to play his Cm's as well as Rooney's strike partner or whether to go with 4-4-2 or 4-5-1. The only thing Capello knew for sure was his LB and RB, Capello managed this like a friendly and the perfomrance resembled that.

Worst game thus far.

Vapid and lifeless. No real bite.

Another poster has suggested that England dont need to lose any sleep over this game. I disagree on the basis that they have just handed the USA a lifeline to take top spot in the group. Top spot helps the winnder avoid Germany and Argentina in the next round. England could and should have put the matter to bed tonight. The have failed to do so. Another performance ala Trinadad & Tobago in 2006 could see England overcome Algeria/Slovenia by single goals. It may well come down to goal difference, and erratic old England may shott themselves in the foot.

Never really got why Robinson isn't still playing, hes hardly the greatest keeper in the world, but hes better than Foster, Green, James, Carson etc
