World Cup 2010 - GROUP C (England, USA, Algeria, Slovenia) **spoilers**

[marktime]

We will pay winner of group D Sunday afternoon

 

[Cosimo]

Congratulations to England and the USA on qualifying for the next round.

Not lucky, they were very unlucky. Hit the bar twice, had a goal disallowed from a bad decision.

Should have won that 3 or 4-0.

Indeed. If they had gone out they would have been the unluckiest team of this WC so far given that they should have one their last game as well if it weren't for the ref.

 

[antijoke]

Well well well, bring on tonights games. It is going to be big tonight.

 

[Admiral Huddy]

That was a lot better but there's still a problem when you have that much possession and fail to score more than once. Lennon or Wright-Phillips would have had field day. I thought Upson had a good game and saved us at the death.

 

[Matteysan]

WTF is everybody on about on telly, they were ***** even though we won still...

I agree, this is not a world cup winning squad, the game was pretty crap. Time wasting should be a bookable offence it just ruins the game.

We didn't play well at all, we played mediocre.

 

[The Mad Rapper]

Finishing however... could use some lessons from Heskey

What lessons is Heskey going to give? Falling over? Being a donkey?

 

[Rojin]

It works in so far that football is england's national game and england have played it for far far longer than USA.

Seeing as we don't have any players on the field who have played the game since its inception, it's hardly relevant is it?

 

[Tombstone]

I agree, this is not a world cup winning squad

Nonsense !! Are you blind, we beat Slovenia 1-0, thats world cup winning pedigree right there. Cup is already in the bag.

 

[shipinabottle]

I thought they performed very well to be honest.

not good enough for me, not clinical, rooney looked off still, defense looked nervy again. stupid fouls, impatient passing. should have dispatched them 3-0 atleast, now we are 2nd behind the USA... all the yank papers will say tommorow is Yanks Beat England, because thats a big point here.

ill hold hope for the next game, but todays performance wasn't good enough again for me.

 

[Greenlizard0]

Well done England.

Coming second to USA though. That would be like USA coming second to england at basketball.

USA are a good footballing nation so that comparison doesn't really work.

Not even basketball, if you look at the interest, knowledge, money put into it, football in the USA comes behind basketball, American football, baseball, ice hockey, tennis and golf.

They beat us playing their seventh most popular sport. Something sickening about that.

 

[Stewy]

What lessons is Heskey going to give? Falling over? Being a donkey?

Just being a terrible terrible footballer generally.

We didn't play well at all, we played mediocre.

Time wasting is a bookable offence.

 

[platypus]

Far from a convincing game but at least England played well. First time I've seen them look like they want to be there.

Potential England vs Germany could be thrilling.

 

[trentlad]

OH YES!! ENGLAND AND USA THROUGH TO THE ROUND OF 16!!!! WWWOHHOOOOOO!!!

 

[Robert1986]

Someone make a gif ot John Terry's dive.

 

[marktime]

Results so far have paralleled Italia 90: 1-1, 0-0, 1-0. Can't see us getting past Argentina to get to the semis though.

 

[Tombstone]

@trentlad

LOL have you ever seen a man so desperate to take his shirt off

 

[Raumarik]

Job done, even if I was rather nervous near the end! Now lets hope England can avoid Germany next..

 

[Locky]

England out next game
