Match 05
Date - Time:
12/06 14:30
Group:
C The first match where two teams stood up and went toe to toe with each other. Over 30 shots. The Americans were just holding on at the end but hard to blame them.
What is wrong with English keepers? Very worrying. This group now becomes a thriller because the 2nd place team drops to the difficult side of the draw.

25:00 If I'm honest it's a fairly even game to this point and the U.S. could easily be level. But England should have scored a second as well. Milner booked. U.S. looking dangerous aerially. Wait. That's supposed to be our game.

HT Did I mention James should be in goal? Total SHOCKER! Worse than Robinson's gaffe against Croatia. Worse than Seaman's flap against Ronaldinho. ArGGGH!
But England look the more likely to score again.
By far the most absorbing game of the tourney thus far. But I guess I'd say that.

75:00 25 shots on goal so far. It might not win the WC, but it's how the game should be played.
