Good goal from Defoe..terrible goalkeeping though.

Slovenia are all over the place in my opinion, can't see England throwing this away.

Keeper could do any more than he did, it was point blank.

We could but more likley we'll have a poxy nail biting finish with slovenia hittign the crossbar a couple of times in the last minute.

This is some great stuff! Great save!

That_Guy

How has it not gone in. Really tame shot from Gerrard though.

Bodhisopha

Is everyone blind? The goal was clearly an OG.

el dude

It's still only Slovenia FFS!!

IvySlayer

Nice set up by Rooney.

T-b0n3

Wonderful lay up from Rooney there. Nearly 2.

Spud83

Jesus that pitch really is cutting up bad.

rebel girl 15

Unlucky!!! Brilliant play by England, should have been 2

Let's hope so. With a bit of luck.

Doing themselves proud so far, performing under pressure here.


Jaysus that was close.


Great stuff so far.

_Bella_

Almost a Rob Green...

Defoe is playing great but Gerard or Rooney should have finished that off

Some really really good football, Slovenia are rattled,

Rasper from Defoe,

Great ball from Rooney to Gerrard, good save!

Guy:Incognito

Need to see that aghain but I thought at first look Rooney could have just helped that on it's way towards goal instead of taking it down and passing.

Aidric

Exciting stuff. Gerrard should have slammed that to the back of the net.

I think a win in general would give them confidence. Looking a different team altogether.

Defoe hit it first didn't he? That would mean it was his goal because it was going to be on target...

The Muppet

Gerrards a waster, he should have put his boot though that

pickarooney

If USA score they go top...

ragg

Defoe is the best player on the pitch by a long way

Its looking quite bad alright, BBC just showed the chance and the penalty area was quite bad!

lol, no, it wasn't.

A Slovenian goal would make it interesting

Visions of Ireland conceading goals in last seconds of vital matches ..Arragh

Any of you watching this on rte.ie?

The feed keeps going down and it's doing my nut in....

Last camera shot of the Slovene goalie made him look a bit like Chris O'Dowd from the IT crowd.

The pitch looks like it has a mole infestation!

No, the Slovenian defender knocked it straight in. No deflection.

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

What are you talking about?

syngindub

rte need to put out some announcement regarding the service. It's a load of crap.

pickarooney

Crap finishing from the Americans, goals going a-begging.

Na it definitely hit off the shin of Defoe and then hit the top of the Slovenians defenders foot.

Latchy

2nd England goal needed for the comfort zone

Someone else posted this earlier. I've been using it and it's much better than RTE right now.

America might regret not bringing Mia Hamm with finishing like that.

Has cut out once for me, but came back as soon as I hit the live button.

Hammer Archer

Last gasp defending by Algeria. Not a bad game.

Ah Jaysus Altidore. Wellys it over from 8 yards out.

That_Guy

Milner really coming into it now. Very very positive stuff from him.

Guy:Incognito

Short corners FTL.

Get it in the box and let someone get a head on it.

pickarooney

Algeria seem to have found a half-decent keeper. Donovan should have had a hat-trick by now all the same.

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.

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.

ragg

Slovenia are actually fúcking brutal - can't believe they were topping this group

Hazys

My god what a miss by Jozy!!!

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