I enjoyed the goal. America needs to step shit up. We aren't moving to the ball. Sloppy passing. They need to want this shit.

US has had posession 59% of the time, I think they are doing well. they just need to drive it down the line, one goal like that is lucky and i doubt it will happen again. england will keep shutting the US down every tiem they get down there and its 2 on 7.

if you guys knew shit about england goalkeeping you would see that that is more just following the norm than fucking up that bad. DAVID FUCKING JAMES is their backup. that says a lot.

Tim Howard is the man! He is playing rele well. England is definitely testing him.

Exactly. I counted a couple times.  We had some good defensive stops though. Considering how favored england was, I'm happy with a draw, but the us could  have capitalized in some spots.

Seriously, seriously embarrassing.  USA's keeper was awesome.

Also big LOL on the rage guy comic.

No one deserves slack after that goal.  Fucking majority of high school level goalies would have had that.

He did have a fairly good save later in the game though off the post, but its arguable that it should have been that close in the first place.

In truth, I don't really care about football enough to get riled up about it so w/e

He'll be murdered if he ever goes back to England, unless he has a great turn-around (but that won't happen becuz he'll get benched).

The USA is now still undefeated against england in the world cup.

You english can start shutting up now. the US is legit.

Hardly.

The US scored on a complete BS goal... and england had many, many chances that they should have scored on.

you know what a synonym for should have put in is?

didnt put in

scoring is part of winning a game and it honestly doesnt matter how many "almost goals" they had, the fact of the matter is they didnt score on those chances

the us had a couple legit chances themselves. And if the goalie drops it in, the goalie drops it in. Get a new one or don't cry

It might have been bs, but its not our fault that we have a way better goaltender than you do...

hell... that near miss by altidore almost went in off of Green and into the goal.. He had a bad night, but England was not dominant by any means in the game.

Howard however, was amazing, and england  was stymied on most of their chances. The americans bend, but dont break... and they're great at clearing out the box... They're certainly a quality side, and I'm usually the biggest critic of the USMNT there is...

You cannot talk shit anymore, England... because the average age of our team is something ridiculous like 24.5

No other team except maybe the Spanish, Dutch or the brazillians can keep up with the speed of the american team - and yet the Dutch and the Spanish are likely to give up goals to the American style of counterattacking speed play. (as seen last year in the confederations cup, when the USA kept letting the spanish come in deep, and then kicked it out and had a 4 or 5 on 2 chance... and Puyol, as good as he is, couldnt stop speedy guys like the US players...
There were many times that Jamie Carragher was needing to pull out everything he had to keep from getting beaten... and he still got beaten. Altidore was so near to a goal... give the us 4-8 years, and the americans are going to be a top 10 team in the world...

Nope, US coverage caught that as well. He looked PISSED. He seriously looked like he was going to personally bitch slap Green after the game.

I'm actually glad someone else picked up on that I was lmao. Poor Becks.

They definitely have more depth, and more quality overall, I wont deny that... play 10 games against them, and they'd probably win 5, draw 3 times, and lose 2 times against the US.

but the USA has had a league since 1996. the English have had one since like... before 1896... They take mad pride in their football, and for us its just another sport that 'nobody watches', and yet, we are closing that talent gap faster than anyone else would.

Oh yeah I totally agree and this game is a great example of that. Did you by any chance catch Time's article on the Cup? It was really funny because it basically said "lol you guys better hope we don't start caring about this sport because once we do we are just going to beat everyone at it".

The best bit was the shot lasted for all of... 3-4 seconds and his face didnt move an inch. It might have been slow mo but still....... My favourite moment of the game.

Granted.
I dont think it matters too much as both England and the US will probably be the teams to advance.

I dont think people care that much.
If this were in the knockout round then people would care, but right now its not a big deal. England is going to get through the group stage anyways.
