LOL...what would happen to England then, just asking?

Get used to it mate, lot of pretty humorous spite mixed with masses of envy...just take it with a pinch of salt and a chuckle, they'll keep biting.

Yeah, did you? Good one wasn't it (and that ain't a question).

FAF...more bitterness, let it go mate.

Lotta bitterness ladies, have t'say this US team totally added to this excellent World Cup. Positive attitude, strength in adversity, genuine excitement and no rolling around-cheating and being a bunch ponces. Come on admit it, a very value added tournament component. Well done US and thanks.

Enjoy the games fellow posters, it's a long, long four years until the next one.

Great viewing experience...just watched another great game, wonderful!!

Argentina...everyday of the week.

Hollywood baby - the only thing I am surprised at is that John Wayne didn't come riding over the horizon to score the winner??

What did he say mush?

Don't know 'bout 'have money on', but you have to admit I was 'on money'... Go US - YAY!! England!!

Two close wins t'morra, everyone'll be fine!!

Thanks Hutch, nice insight...oh and Terry, you're bang on there mate!!

Rio was badly missed, he is one the only CBs that can calmy come out of defense and ping an inch perfect 50 yard ball, starting a subsequent attack.

FAF...even so wasn't looking to catch a raw nerve mate, not looking to anger you. Howard had a excellent game despite being studded by that don(Hes)key, Cherundulo was the best player on the park - so much so that the (how many millions) Milner was withdrawn and equally over-priced SWP was invisible. Second tier DeMerit and still injured Onweyu were almost never bothered. Fulham reject Boca snuffed out Lennon and the ineffective England attack including potential World player of the year contestant Rooney (what exactly did he do?). Bradley at 22 was, along with Gerrard, the best midfielder on show...at about 1/20 of the cash value of Lamps would you say that Clarke was 1/20 of his value to today's game...no I thought not. Only an opinion but if Buddle had started instead of Findley the three Lions would have lost. England's best player was the flawless Terry (that says something right there). The excellennt Glen Johnson and the World's best left back Ashley Cole had to moderate their games and stay home most of the game due to the neutralizing threat of the outstanding Donovan and Dempsey.....so obviously, we have a difference of opinion, fair enough - I respect your opinion, just do not agree. Mate...England are World class and supposed to win, they have up to half a dozen World class players and this is their prime, US have one pretty good player and a great 'keeper and were supposed to be cannon fodder. England started as per with passion and that is what continually costs them. Teams and organized teams win WCs not groups of passionate individuals, right? This was the best game of the cup so far, ask any neutral. It was a great result for the US and one they thoroughly deserve...it was this time last year that they spanked Spain, so England went one better you may say. That is the way that this 'organized' US 'team' plays, it is effective. England's possible downfall will be the same as the other really great team, Argentina, they will fail because of the own disorganized 'passion', despite both being the best set of players.

LOL...who in particular was 'gash' mate (besides Findley)?...er, I know who was for England, where would you like me to start??? Green maybe, Lamps and Milner were effective also huh? What about Hesk...and wasn't 'World Class' Rooney terrific too. King and Carragher, what is the phrase we are so desperately groping for here, that's right 'underwhelmingly moderate'. Like I said even tho' it was a draw, it was still almost a victory for a team over individuals...and, just asking, but did you see Altidore make Carragher (amongst others) his b!tch and come within millimeters of making a 'gash' team humiliate England in the WC once again??

Yeah, I know hence 'I stand corrected'....;-)

In FACT, I stand corrected and so should you..."Especially as England have played pretty unconvincingly in their warm-up games against lesser sides, whereas the USA have been really impressive. Not many teams can boast that they've beaten Spain over the last couple of years. I think there will almost certainly be a shock win for USA, 2-0 by HT, 3-1 at FT. " Sorry mush........

On the original thread Dog did offer to perform his 'party trick' even if it was a draw, however, he's been banned so we won't have to call in that bet.....Bradley shoulda given Buddle more time.

60 years without a win in a competitive match .v. the US and counting. Ouch...in FACT, maybe you say 'never' and counting. Ah, well when we calm down England may marmalize Algie and Slovenly

Wait a tic SM...you said 3-1 England earlier mate...I guess the US did derserve some respect after all huh.

Even tho' it's a draw, it's still kinda've a victory for team over individuals.

Great game...hey Dog, is y'sphincter puckering yet mate ;-)

Green is scared schitless...deer in the headlights FFS

Buddle for Findley would cause King deep consternation FACT FFS
