England -v- USA, Sat 7:30PM RTE & ITV HD

Lukker-

Rooney was awful tonight. It's a cliche by now but they they need to take Gerrard out of CM, put him behind Rooney. Capello's football is so disjointed it's unbelievable, the only exciting time is when Lennon is on the ball.

Jesus, He has to have been watching a different game than I was.

Patrick Viera said England "dominated" the game from start to finish. Brown envelopes a plenty i'd say.

Because he's an awful, inarticulate pudit who never says anything interesting. Simply panders to his company...

As a headline how about:

"England's got talent, but none of it was on the team."

Basically he was suggesting that Englad were brilliant tonight and just unlucky not to score, that they dominated the game etc.

IMHO they just looked out of ideas, and had no desire about them. Wright Phillips was muck, and I thought Rooney was very quiet also. Gerrard and Lampard in the middle doesn't work, especially if the other team have players who will sit in the middle of the park and control the space. They leave too many gaps and expose the defence far to much.

Worryingly, Carra got skinned by Altidore and any team watching that will be just as aware of his complete lack of pace (hardly a secret in fairness).

If the USA had have been even slightly better, they would have won it. You could see the rustiness in their players, misplaced, simple passes, pretty much because they aren't as used to each other as the English would be. That will come to them fairly quick I'd say, with nearly a week to the next game.

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

Mr.Nice Guy

Corden's show is woeful. Really hope Apres Match spoof this at some stage.

In case anyone is coming in late and missed the match, the highlights will probably be on the Comedy Channel.

Heh, I completely missed that. Not switched on today, RTE puns are going over my head!

It was the footage of the US team as "don't want to be an American Idiot.." played that made me go "WTF?"

Peyton Manning

This first one was far more insulting when the draw was made...



Bloody scum of rag.

Totally uncomfortable vibez. Abby Clancy is lucky she's fit because she's coming across as an hysterical head melter.

Huge huge pressure on England to win next game now. Rooney looks like he is totally knackered after an amazing season for his club side. Defo not 100% fit and was knocked off the ball on several occasions.

Mr.Nice Guy

Now THAT was embarrassing.

RTE are the closer of the two. Gerard was good in the first half, but the entire team was pretty **** for the rest.

ITV apologises after England World Cup 2010 goal gaffe

ITV was forced to apologise following an "interruption" to its live coverage of England's opening World Cup game that caused viewers to miss Steven Gerrard's goal.

Viewers of the channel's high definition HD service reported the channel had temporarily gone down at the moment England scored their first goal of the competition. Furious viewers immediately complained, with some describing the service as a "joke".

Viewers reported that in the early stages of the match the coverage had suddenly switched to an advert. When live coverage returned viewers found they had missed Gerrard's opening goal against the USA.

The ITV1 presenter Adrian Chiles apologised to viewers during the half-time break. He said: "Apologies for those watching in HD. I believe there was some interruption in your coverage."

An ITV spokeswoman said: "A transmission problem temporarily affected ITV1's HD service during the England-USA match. ITV standard definition service continued uninterrupted. We apologise for the interruption in transmission."

The spokeswoman said the problem had not originated in South Africa but she could not confirm how many viewers had been affected.

The social networking site Twitter was immediately deluged with complaints about the coverage. One poster named "Timwellspent" wrote: "ITV HD missed England's goal because it was playing an advert. A joke and embarrassment quite frankly."

Another poster "Paul_Durand" added: "ITV HD is a joke. First England goal of the World Cup, and there was a Hyundai advert on."

The gaffe mirrors similar scenes last year when ITV missed the crucial winning goal during a tense FA Cup tie. The channel switched to an automated ad break as the eventual finalists, Everton, scored the winning goal against Liverpool.

The chairman of ITV, Michael Grade, was forced to issue an apology for the "inexcusable glitch".
