asking if there is a chance of replacing Green at HT now. One of the lads said it would "Completely ruin him" if he were to be taken off. Think it is far too late for that.

That would ruin him.

If England win it will spare him

If they lose or even draw he'll get a lot of stick.

Anyway, Hart and James are just as likely to do something ridiculous !

Holy feck. They did that for some other game a while back too didn't they?

edit - no wonder I remember: it was the winning goal in fa cup merseyside derby!

As a Hammers fan I had to focus on the Scum-suckers Terry and ****ly Cole to enjoy that one ! Couldnt happen to nicer people. Gutted for Rob Green though.

England have been gash in the first half. They didnt deserve to be in front.

I suppose the Americans will call that a fumble in the end zone :pac:

DAMNIT I was actually about to post that.

The English press will be in a frenzy now getting ready to hang green and england out to dry tommorrow

Kold

Jesus what a howler. I thought everyone knew Hart was our best keeper?

Supercell

Lol at laughing Bill

Rowley Birkin QC

Bill and the boys must have been having a right laugh at half time!

Mr.Nice Guy

Bill's breaking his heart laughing anyway.

Where the ad says "We're really pumped up for this one", I thought it said " We really fúcked up for this one" :pac:

MementoMori

Bill laughing when they came back from the break.

FatherTed

Watching it in the US, the studio guys Alexi Lalas and Ruud Gullit are laughing at England.

Bob_Harris

"Apologies for some disruption in the coverage"

Kind of a **** apology Adrian.

_Kaiser_

Very offhand played-down 'apology' for the interruption there!

monkey9

I feel really bad for Green. I just can't join in on the laughter. His face in the replay as he realised he wasn't getting to the ball!!

McGrath5

Agreeing with Giles, it's like 2006 again. Awful stuff from England.

Overheal

ABC sports is not really laughing it up. Im disappointed at their professionalism.

Priceless.

Casualty wards in Scotland packed cases of people who've busted guts with laughter.

Dunphy all over Heskey. Personally I think he did ok to be honest.

Dunno, I thought it was a decent finish.

Peyton Manning

Being very harsh on Heskey. He's been one of, if not their best players.

reverting to norm, slagging off England for the sake of it

Player of the quality of Gerrard should not be turned like that, should have done better

IvySlayer

Should be a very interesting second half! Capello will be furious. Gerrard show glimpses of what he can play like.

What a shocker from Green.

JerryHandbag

England in the World Cup = guaraunteed entertainment.

Still think they'll go on and win 3-1. The press will be frothing at the mouth if it stays as is.

Handsome Bob

There's only one solution: get the beanpole on.

They have the majority of the ball so far. Milner was dragged off without a touch of the ball (Would love to time travel back to the night boards exploded when I said he was not top class!). That sounds like USA being better to me.

England can still score goals though, US defence is very dodgy.

Edit: In fairness to Milner, he did have a virus.

Letting themselves down

The Americans are a very decent team, results have shown that

Insect Overlord

Anybody manage to get a screen-shot of the Green cock-up yet?

FatherTed

I have to say even before the USA goal, they were getting a good hold on the game, more possession.

Donovan, Dempsey and Altidore had a few long range shots on Green before that so I'm guessing their scouting report is to shoot on sight.

I reckon the USA if, they continue to get a better hold in midfield will get a few more chances. They'll bring on Gomez or Buddle, one of them will knock one in.

FlawedGenius

Green will never be forgived for that, poor kunt:mad:

MementoMori

I know the service hasnt been great but Rooney has been fairly anonymous.

everdead.ie

King and Terry partnership looking ok after all the slagging Gomes got from the English press when he first started for spurs they'd give there right arm for him now

I would say that he can change everything by being a hero sometime down the line, but in all likeliness this will probably be his first and last game in the tournament.
