England Vs USA Pre Match Hype!

Ok - so Saturday is going to be epic, England vs USA in the World Cup - last time England lost to the USA in a competitive World Cup Game was 1950 - can you do it again?

Where are you all watching the game?

We've booked out a huge bar, opening at 8:30am serving Bacon and Eggs (for the English Fans) and Breakfat taco's for the americans....   I'm planning on getting on it early doors and having a huge all day session...

Prediction:

England 3 - USA 0

make your predictions, then come back here after the event to claim / shame.... 

I'm worried by our (england's) lack of ability to win opening games at big tournaments thus i fear a draw... but not losing to America... I wouldn't be able to live with myself if we lost... so... all aboard the Hype train!

They've had some chances...

I expect at least a goal from the US.

It took them a while to get into a groove, but now they're playing well. Just need to capitalize. Altidore should have had that earlier header.

I don't know what the fuck he was doing. It was a beautiful ball by Donovan. The English defender came up underneath him, but the ball was still just a few fucking inches in front of his face and he backed off. Can't miss shit like that in the World Cup.

Fairly sure England's keeper will be executed when he gets back home.

not really, when you consider that DAVID JAMES is his backup, his life is by no means over. CALAMITY JAMES has made more mistakes than any keeper ive ever seen

June 13, 2010: Today the body of England's keeper, Greene was found lying in a dumpster with 132 stab wounds. It is reported that the English government orders South African police not to conduct an investigation.

They've calmed down, US is playing alot better then tehy were at the first. I expect this to be an amazing match. and its like one of the announcers said "if you buy tickets to a raffle, your going to win eventually"

I thought that was a bad game for the U.S. They never really controlled the game, didn't pressure england, and lost most of the 50 50 balls. They needed to slow down their play and make some passes instead of all the long balls. They were completely dominated and are lucky England was having a bad game. I really hope they do better in the next two games.

yea i know what you are saying. The second half was pretty bad for the US, first half was pretty good though. I think we were just too tired, should have subbed some more.

Surprising result.  Its funny because a draw is fine for America but England is PISSED right now.  Bit disappointed especially with England's many oppurtunities, but at least now I can make fun of all my British friends.  Regardless, good fucking game.  Really good game.  Was stood up for probably about half of it haha.  US did an incredible job just not letting Rooney do shit for basically the whole game.

Yeah I agree with thenowhereman USA kept rooney real quiet throughout the game. Heskey did ALOT better than i thought he was going to and lennon looked so dangerous on the wing for us.

All about goal difference now and I think england will get top spot still. good game though.

too bad their best player has a broken arm. They would have had a fair chance. But good game overall, yeah that score was a bit lucky but the USA played really well, wouldnt say they got dominated.

when has a broken arm meant anything in soccer...

you use your feet.

That said, they still wont win. Nigeria is way better if you're going to pick an african nation to win it..

Yeah I think I heard one of the announcers say he didn't touch the ball in the box till like 71 minutes in.

17 minutes.

He didnt get his first touch inside the box till the 73rd. and it nearly went in.


That said, it was fairly obvious, they were using rooney as a decoy to clear the box for lampard and gerrard and the wings to cut inside. So he wasnt completely useless.
