Come on, England!
Go, Slovenia! 
Although I have to admit, I think I’m one of 28 Slovenians who aren’t watching the match.
So, what are the odds that the US gets jobbed again and it costs them advancement?
Yes, I’m still bitter.
EDIT: Yeesh, a little defense might be a good thing on occasion.
It’s good to actually hear the crowd (singing God Save the Queen, in this instance) rather than those bloody vuvuzelas.
In fairness they always stop blowing the fucking things for the athems.
Irish TV web streaming has just gone down. BASTARDS!!! Sort it NOW! I’ve got work to dodge ![]()
England fans sing the National Anthem during the match as well, I think that’s what Švejk was referring to.
ETA: GET IN THERE!!
1-0 England. Come on, you bastards.
No, I mean the crowd singing the anthem and chanting other things while play was going on.
ETA: 1-0 England! Hmmm. I want Slovenia to go through.
I hate it when England score early in the match. They always try to sit on a 1-0 lead for the rest of the match, then fuck it up at some point and let the other team in.
Also looks like the USA have been unfairly robbed of another goal, this time for a phantom offside.
They’ve not had much luck this tounament (apart from our little gift in the opening game).
Well, I didn’t have long to wait to see the first robbery of the US team today. Let’s see if it continues.
I just read (haven’t seen it because the England game is on TV here) that the U.S had another goal disallowed even though it wasn’t offside. Did you guys forget to pay Sepp Blatter on time?
James Milner is playing bloody fantastic.
1-0, with the two replacement players combining for the goal. An actual cross, something that was completely missing against Algeria. Hopefully this will settle them down.
Another cross from Milner causing chaos in the Slovenian box, nearly 2-0.
Oh Gerrard, why didn’t you whack it!..
No way are we sitting on this one yet.
Almost 2-0 after the Slovenian keeper spilled it. Dare I say it, England are actually looking quite potent in front of goal…
I can’t take any more Lawrenson puns.
There is no way the US doesn’t score a bunch of goals in this game the way they’re playing offensively. Of course, that all depends on what other pretexts the referees can come up with to disallow any goal that they score.
Great opportunity missed by the US there, blazed over the bar from six yards out.
Edit: and then the defence goes walkabout and lets Matmour run straight at goal; shot pushed over by Howard.
Yep - more bad news for us Yanks. As NBC put it:
I fear that may be a bit of an understatement. 2 goals called back, in consecutive games, will cost us at least 3 points, and possibly 6, in this first round. Hard to overcome that kind of deficit.
