The defender for England (Carragher) received a YC. He had one last game as well, which means he’ll miss the next game. What happens if he gets another yellow today? (Besides missing the rest of today’s game)
Massive suck from England. Challenge the keeper, for God’s sake! Can’t believe I thought they ever had a chance at winning this thing.
With England tying Algeria 0-0, it has certainly made it easier on the US getting through.
On the bright side, a cure for insomnia has been found.
Nothing like those stirring nil-all soccer results.
It’s not just hyperbole, that is the worst I remember England playing. Gerrard, Lampard, Heskey, Terry, Lennon, Johnson, all shit. Rooney played the worst I’ve ever seen, in an England or Man U shirt and I’m normally a huge fan of his.
Did Stevie G just say “All credit to Algeria, it’s their World Cup Final, and they did good”? What a delusional twat.
Great result for the US. Now the US can get through with any of the following events:
-US beats Algeria. 5 points, and the most England/Slovenia can muster would be 5 and 4, respectively.
-US draws with Algeria, and Slovenia either beats England, or draws and US maintains its goals advantage over England.
Happy birthday Capello.
0-0. Algeria were the better side, at least they looked like they were enjoying the game.
If in the final 2 games, England draws with Slovenia 2-2 and the US draws with Algeria 0-0, who moves to the next round?
You mean 5 and 7, respectively. Slovenia already has 4.
Slovenia and whoever wins a coin flip between England and the US.
Right, what I mean is the most that both could combine for (in order to make US 3rd in the group) is 5 and 4, so US would make it with 5 points.
That was a cauldron of shite from England. Hard to believe Rooney could be so poor - he claims to be fully fit. Looks a bit dysfunctional between the players, a bit French.
Carragher should miss the Slovenia match, so every cloud…
Weak English game but they were lucky that Algeria was harmless.
Hockey is played on a much smaller field; if you expect the referee to run to the tv set, replay the scene, confer maybe with a fourth ref in such situations, then run back to proclaim his final decision … the game will grind to a halt even more than it already does thanks to whistle-happy refs and en masse collapsing players.
Any idea to regain gameflow would be far more welcome than one more to disrupt it.

Parenchyma, this video might amuse you.
That was awful.
unbeaten record my arse. That commentator wants shooting.
Lots would be drawn, they have just mentioned it on the ITV commentary.
Wow, that would suck for someone. Has this happened before (a team getting bounced from the WC due to a coin flip)?
The Green botch in USA-England looms even larger now.
However, all 4 teams in the group still control their final WC result. Although Algeria would have to score at least 2 goals in a win against the US to guarantee going to the next round.
That was dire indeed. There were no lions on that pitch tonight, just a bunch of pussies.
Anyone else see Rooney cussing the England fans for booing them as he walked off. What a cock, after that display he’s lucky they weren’t flinging rocks at him.
