    The positives for us today
    1. No red cards for us
    2. We scored
    3. We didn't lose
    4. Clark had only 1 costly mistake and no cards
    5. Altidore had a great run on Carra and took a quality chance
    6. We didn't roll over, we believed in ourselves and that makes us very dangerous

    I was very happy that Bob Bradley went for the win, Bruce Arena would have played for the tie
    Clark was involved in the confusion that lead to the goal, him or Onyewu blew an assignment. He came out later for Holden I believe. I was just a little confused by the lineup, the two hottest goal scorers didn't get into the game til it was almost over...Gomez didnt even get in the game. I am hoping they switch that up in the next two matches due to them not being as scary offensively.

    So far it seems as if Bob Bradley is much more capable as a coach than Bruce Arena, sure we can Monday Morning Quarterback what happened yesterday but overall I liked what happened.

    But I agree we have white hot strikers in Buddle and Gomez and I think Buddle starts on Friday with Altidore. Jozy did have a very good run on Carragher and put a quality shot on goal (luckily for Green he was up to the task). We need to create more clean chances though and I think Torres is the man to do that.

    Slovenia won which makes our game pretty much a must win. And they're a pain in the ass to play, very good defensively. A draw would still give us a chance but a loss would be the end of it.

    It's good that the match means something, I think if it was just another match we might have come out flat. We're going to have to lead in that game instead of counter so I would expect Torres to start.

    If the USA wins then England has to win out the rest of their games too

    I wonder how "E-A-S-Y" the Brits think the group is now? There's a very good chance they miss out on advancing, that would be tragic for them.

    First time I've been able to post.

    Being in the pub confirmed why I hate watching England & why the majority of England fans are clueless knobheads. "Who are ya, who are ya!"

    Fair play to the Yanks, they kept on going to the end. It also proves how shit England actually are and this 'being world class' is a media driven myth. Argentina had Milito and Aguero on the bench - we had Peter Crouch.

    Jesus wept.

    Sorry for the negative post but I just hope people realise England aren't a world class side.

    In all honesty Crouch is a quality player, I hate that Liverpool let him go.

    The problemS (plural) England have are....
    1. Frank Lampard, he's not what you need in a CM. He is greedy and only wants to score. Gerrard is more well rounded but he's best going forward. If Barry was fit you may have seen a different result

    2. Your defense sucks

    3. Goalkeeper

    4. You lack a creative distributor of the ball, Rooney and Gerrard can't do it all

    ....If I was coaching England I would maybe tinker with the idea of playing Lampard at CF but whatever is done the Gerrard/Lampard tandem doesn't work


    I'm hoping Tim Howard is ok, but I think even if he can't go we'll be OK

    fucking Hell I just saw the highlights and Slovenia were incredibly lucky to get 3 points. Stupid red card by a substitute who got two awful yellows and then the Algerian keeper just let a completely non-threatening shot go in. Not quite Robert Green awful but not that far off.

    If I was England's manager I would play Rooney up top by himself with Gerrard playing right behind him and then Joe Cole on the left, Lampard and Barry in the middle and Lennon on the right. Then the normal back four.

    I still don't think that is the right setup for Lampard as he wants to be the attacking midfielder but who else are you going to play there? Carrick?

    ...Sad that a "World Power" like England has less midfield depth than the United States

    Yeah if Dempsey or Donovan go down we're boned, BUT we have Beasley, Torres, Edu, Feilhaber, Holden and all those guys are solid substitutes for our midfield because we play more as a team

    I actually don't think Carrick's bad but English fans don't seem to like him.

    I do think Bob Bradley's 1 mistake was not making an earlier change....we seemed to link up decently at times and then have a wayward pass or missed opportunity....I can't stress enough how Torres could have really helped out attack. We were splitting possession about 56-44 if we had kind of a "point guard" type of player like Torres in there we would have probably split time 50-50 and I bet we would have created better chances too. Torres is our new Claudio Reyna and it's silly not to play him.

    Ze Germans playing pretty well. I still hate them so they have that going against them.

    In all seriousness though it just fucking infuriates me when a referee just flippantly decides to pretty much end a guy's world cup. Fire him.
