England 1-1 USA (Gp C) Sat 12 Jun 7.30pm

America then?

The English flag hasn't got any blue on.

Ah sh*t got me there I'm thinking of the great britain flag.

Taxi for Dmasta.

I guess you were thinking of the British flag?

Are England in red tonight?

Are England in red tonight?

I'd imagine we'd be in white and USA would be in blue?

Ok I've got it.

The winner will be the team who's FA logo has red, blue and white on it.

Checkmate.

England will have em. Easy.

They better anyways. Couldn't stand being in America if they win, everyone will over-react and suddenly all of them will be 'soccer' fans. Eck.

Ok I've got it.

Checkmate.

USA don't have an 'FA logo'.

Stalemate.

This is what the USA version of the FA logo is. Also with some red, white and blue

^ Exactly I can't lose (watch it go and be a draw now).

Early Kick Off for me so I'm 1-0 up.
Still on the

What's the 3 stars for?

Haha that pic made me laugh

What's the 3 stars for?

Wishful thinking?

NewYork hands down winner for soccer Football! Is that because Boston are playing?

Partly, but there is alot of youth SOCCER  , leagues in the area , especially Long Island and Westchester. Also Very big in New Jersey. Not too surprising, basketball sucks

Early Kick Off for me so I'm 1-0 up.

Good stuff.  Haven't started yet.

Hoping to have a 2 up advantage before kick off though.

Anyway, just placed my bets for the game.  Some a bit silly.  Gone for John Terry first goal, 2-0 and 2-1 at half time and 3-0 and 3-1 at full time.

If I get them wrong and shrek scores in the game I get my money back so makes it a little bit more interesting.

According to the BBC

CONFIRMED ENGLAND XI v US   

Green, Johnson, King, Terry, A Cole, Lennon, Lampard, Gerrard, Milner, Heskey, Rooney.

USA: Howard, Cherundolo, DeMerit, Onyewu, Bocanegra, Donovan, Bradley, Clark, Dempsey, Altidore, Findley.



Dont like Findlay starting , Buddle should start , he's been on fire latley
Onyewu's fittness is important

Well, been waiting for this since the draw came out...

Good luck my English mates, no matter the result I think we'll both get through anyways.

USA 1-0 

I wouldn't of started either of Buddle or Findley. Would of played Dempsey behind Jozy, and Donovan on the left, Holden on the right.

I'd rather Edu be paired with Bradley, and not Clark.

But hey, it's Coach Bradley, he's a dope.

Get in there USA.

Well.  Here it is boys...

I've waited years for this match. I honestly think this is going to be a great match and any team can win.

I think England is favored but the US has a potent offense.  They scored 44 goals in the qualifiers which is the most for any of the WC teams.  They can score. Their issue is stopping the England attack. If the US can pressure the English forwards we can win the match.  We can score on any team, its just our defense that worries me. We also need to protect and guard the set pieces.  We had some issues on corners.

Altidore and Onyewu are starting too. Hopefully their both 100%. We need them.

I wouldn't of started either of Buddle or Findley. Would of played Dempsey behind Jozy, and Donovan on the left, Holden on the right.

That would've been best, agreed

US have not kept a clean sheet for 10 games, and as Yank says, they also score a lot. Gonna be interesting, I guess.

USA may have scored the most in qualifying but I bet they played far shi**er teams

US have not kept a clean sheet for 10 games, and as Yank says, they also score a lot. Gonna be interesting, I guess.

Yeah agreed...We can score on any team.  Thats not the Issue. Our problem is giving up goals and not playing solid defense.

If the Defense can pick it up, keep the pressure on the English forwards and man up on the set pieces, then we can win. Howard is a great goalie and we need that but a goalie can only do so much.  If our backs take a sh*t and let England inside, its going to be a long day.
