Argentina are forever doing that. Pisses me right off. It's bound to go into the box eventually. May as well do it first time.

Yea but the Argies always traditionally have an array of clever set pieces that they practice and use at big tournaments. Remember the free kick vs England in 98. They had a really clever one vs Nigeria too.

Not impressed by Slovenia at all, but England are getting at them in fairness. Wouldn't be surprised to see a second England goal before half time.

Yeah left me there for about 3 minutes and came back. I think streaming the two games at the same time might be causing them problems, as everyone seems to say it was working perfectly up until today or yesterday.

Upson looks far from comfortable.

You can see from one of the replays that the ball hit Defoes shin and then it goes on its way. You can see his shinpad get rattled as it hits his leg. It'll be a Defoe goal and rightly so.

Fairy nuff so. The commentators on BBC never mentioned it hitting the defender. They said great finish! UNSTOPPABLE!!! I disagree with both.

Apparently that keeper was on trial at Man United towards the end of the season.

We've been linked with him.... We don't need him though. But anyway, come on England.

First yellow, ref found his cards

Mr.Nice Guy

"Not a man for the big occasions" - Dunphy on Defoe prior to the game

Can't wait to see what he has to say at half-time.

That yellow is pretty unfair.... Englands tackles have been just as bad

el dude

Slovenia has gone about this all wrong from the start to be honest. They should have gotten everyone behind the ball for the first twenty minutes, and England's heads would have dropped after that.

MagicMarker

Do yellows carry through into the last 16? For instance if someone were to get their first yellow in this game?

murpho999

Ridiculous card for Jokic....he never touched him.

The BBC said Joikic will miss the next game if Slovenia proceed, so according to them yes.

Yeah I believe yellow cards picked up in the groups stages are wiped at the quarter final stage.

No slate is wiped clean, however if a player picks up a second yellow today then they will miss next game.

Àpart from when he did touch him, yeah your right.

It was after Johnson has cleared him he caught his legs and then went sideways. and it was handball.

Fizman

That ball is like a fckin beach ball the way it bounces. Not right at all.

Cypher_sounds

That rte feed for usa game is bollix P2P here i come

Hoki

Its like groundhog day with the amount of long balls hoofed into the air for Defoe to chase & the keeper gathering it comfortably.

SlickRic

England are a different team today.

really good stuff; doing what they're good at - pressing properly. and for a change not wasting possession at every given opportunity, even though it's still too much. that's what happens when your CBs are hoodwinked into take the easy option with Heskey on the pitch.

this could should end up easier than anticipated.

What are you on about it wasn't me saying Defoe's goal was an OG, I said it was a good goal.

I watched that tackle again with Sky+ and he did not make contact with the player. 2 England playes (Barry & Johnson) made terrible challenges earlier and did not get cards.

_Bella_

Defoe was never gonna win that ball in the air

Overheal

im not allowed to watch and twitter servers are overloaded. whats the score?!

FFS Defoe. Up right away.

If by OG you mean perfectly legitimate goal for Defoe, then you're spot on.

Just as well the ref from the France game wasnt doing this, that'd be a red card, and one for the next closest player to the incident just for good measure.:)

was it not for handball though, only seen it the once and he seemed to move his hand up to block it after Johnson chipped it over to him.

Half time in the USA - Algeria game. USA should be ahead with a wrongly disallowed goal and Altidores miss.
