The game was on the TV as I done my ironing I know not alot about football but I felt really sorry for Green was such a bad goal. I thought England played well but Rooney was to late coming in to the game first half I never heard his name mentioned once it sounded to me like America played better than what you would think listening to the commentators.
Cooper Coupe...
England were very poor, felt sorry for Green and hope it doesn't cost him his place in teh next game.
Why do so many England managers continually pick Heskey, he's useless
I am supporting ABE for this tournament. It was wonderful driving through town tonight - hardly a man in sight.
The English commentators stick in my craw. 1966 - it wasn't even a goal. The English anthem isn't mine and never will be. They could sing Baa Baa Black sheep for all I care, as long as their happy with it and find a collective identity it doesn't really matter what the Celtic nations think.
I think it would be cool if an African nation won. I'm going to support one of them. Might watch some of the matches but football doesn't thrill me. Now if it was rugby that would be an entirely different story. Unfortunately the ned identity associated with football turns a lot of people off. Shocking example was the crowds ignoring the minute silence asked in respect of Nelson Mandela's granddaughter killed on her way home from the opening ceremony. Doesn't matter where the football it just seems to attract a really undesirable element.

I must have watched a different game fromOriginally Posted by The Gismo Man
u I thought heskey had a good game in fact one of englands better players.
Heskey had a great game, he was meant to be the player who held the ball up for others, and he did just that for Gerrard's goal. His only weakness is his lack of goals but if he helps create them as he did tonight he's worth his place in the team. However I think Peter Crouch is a better link up player, his plus point being he also scores goals.
Gerrard, Lampard, Lennon, Johnson and Carragher all had good games, Rooney, however was well below par.
I watched the whole match and 1966 was mentioned once and that was in relation to previous first games at the finals, they mentioned 1990 and 2002 at the same time.....

Paul I thought all in all it wasn't the worst English performance and stool think you will win the group. I agree that crouch is probably the better choice but heskey did well to warrant another start. The yanks are a decent side but England will have to raise their game ic they want to progressuch further than the last 16.
It was better than the warm up games but there's always room for improvement.
USA are actually a reasonable side, they beat Spain and were leading against Brazil in the confederation cup final. I wouldn't mind seeing Donovan playing on the red side of merseyside, very good player.
Nae ahin time that they stopped banging on about that. Maybe the commentators have been given some cognitive behavioural treatment. I think though that most folk have enough wits to work out that its the media constantly harping on about 1966 that really p*sses people off and pushes the Celtic fringe into the ABE camp. Now of course that that winning goal has allegedly been found to have not gone over the line at all the press and commentators might stop shoving it down folks throats as much as they have done.

We won 4-2 so it doesn't make any difference if you take that one goal away
Anyone else think that ITV are hopeless?
I was watching in HD and it switched over to adverts at the moment the goal was scored, luckily I caught the replays but I sure they did that in a Champions League game as well.
