2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa

The English have a battle on their hands. and their coaches looked TICKED.

Is it 2 50 minute halves? How much more time?

Blocked by Howard!

glad to see both teams attacking instead of playing for the tie.

Nice press!

The US is playing with fire, and they’d have been burned long ago were it not for Howard.

45 + 45 + added time at the discretion of the ref.


Green just redeemed himself! US looking good.

  1. Subtract the time showing on the screen from 90. But keep in mind, halfs will generally run 2 or 4 minutes long, depending on how much the ref has stopped the clock.

Blood on the face stops play. Who knew?

Come on Rooney

As it does in every major team sport since the AIDS epidemic.

[Johnny Carson voice] I did not know that. [/JCV]

Thank god for Howard!

Good result for the Yanks.

What a load of ol’ bollocks.

Kind of ended with a whimper, but GOOD GAME!

Bah, a tie. I hate ties.

It’s not a tie, it’s a draw and in soccer, that’s a good thing (sorta). If I could elect an MVP for today, it’d be Howard the Goalie. What a performance!

An excellent result for the US though and they should have a very good chance now of making it to the next round. The Slovenia game is obviously crucial.

it’s a draw

Can’t say I’m surprised by the draw as I was well aware of how competitive this American squad is. Certainly not WC Champion material, but on any given day a handful for anyone.

As for England, Casillas has it right – as did I when I told RNATB the same thing last year. Without a world class keeper only Brazil can win; and they have one this time around in Julio Cesar.

I see these two squads coming out of this group.

I can see the headlines now: USA cheer English spill…
