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

According to a show I watched this morning, they don't. Each play gets a clean slate after the group stages.

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.

Maybe your sky+ is broken because right near the end of the tackle his leg hits him on the ankle and johnson starts going sideways.

Good first half for England, pity they diidnt get a second goal.

Thought I heard they were only cleared at quarter stage

Slovenia have been poor though. Really hope USA score in 2nd half and get through. After the wrongly disallowed goal for them on Friday, and how bad Slovenia have been today i'd much rather see them in next round.

and he handballs it out of play instead of letting the ball go past him.

Yellow cards will be wiped after the quarters this time, as fifa wants to avoid that players are missing the final due to yellow cards that were picked up early on. Right decission IMO by the Fifa

There was that too, yeah.:)

Dunphy's infatuation with Rooney is a bit unsettling.

I hope USA can score in the other game as this Slovenian team don't deserve to qualify, they've been useless.

FatherTed

Officials doing the US again. Goal by Dempsey was not offside.

Slovenia have been terrible..

DubDani

Terrible match to watch IMO. England are lucky that Slovenia are really poor today. They couldn't really string 2 passes together to save their lives.

I believe in any other group England would be going home now.

DazMarz

Good to see England finally playing as well as they can. Pity they haven't gotten a second one yet, but that's in the post.

Wayne Rooney has not looked like scoring

He's playing out on the left, what do you expect?

This sh1t does nothing for growing the sport in the USA...no video ref and standard of officating compared to other US sports is driving the Americans ape sh1t at d mo.

The sport is catching on over here but FIFA are shooting themselves in the foot with this BS

Granted they are playing better than the last 2 games but I wouldn't call it world class. They are playing Slovenia don't forget.

Wouldn't imagine, Brazil, Argentinia etc are quaking in their boots watching this.

Ah seriously, Slovenia are awful, England only look good because there's nothing to the opposition. And they don't even look that good. If England were any good they'd have a couple by now, instead of which it could just as likely be all square.

Are you serious? (Serious question). If that's all they have to offer then they have no hope getting past the last 16no matter who they play.

Need more stripey shirts and yellow hankies to toss Gheyly into the air when they aren't happy?

Necronomicon

Just looking at the highlights of the other game, the US really should be in front. Poor finishing, though Dempsey's offisde was debatable.

The_Kew_Tour

If Slovenia can beat Russia and after watching how poor Slovakia are then Ireland should walk the Euros group at canter.

Buit then again we are talking about Ireland:p

At least more times or not they get it right, dont let your Anti-Americanism blind your view, the officating in Rugby is also a 100X better than soccer.

He did start poorly though, he had plenty of chances to cross early on and couldn't,

We'll allow him that though, he made up for it

DazMarz

USA being so unlucky again, it's a pity.

And I think England have vastly improved on their recent performances (tho that's not an impossible task!). But I still think that the way they've been playing today (albeit against a very poor side) has been very good.

Does FIFA want the U.S. to fail in this World Cup?

Sorry but got to disagree...Slovenia are making England look good as they are giving the ball away so much and not attacking them.

Better teams will not do this and would tear England apart with the way England are playing at the moment.

If England had been very good they would be 3 nil up now.

They have been unlucky with decisons alright,

You have to wonder sometimes.
