Hey, great game guys. We had a couple of good chances to tie it, namely those two Donovan shots. That free kick that hit the post was sweet. But, alas Richardson’s was better. 😉 USA will always be my favorite team, but England will always be my second favorite. ---

> [@Tuco](#): > > I’m surprised SGE didn’t use Bobby Green as it was only a friendly. James is still the number 2 goalkeeper with of course Robinson number 1. Sven shows remarkable loyalty to _some_ players. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Green come on as a substitite against Colombia depending on how the game is proceeding, against the USA there were some unexpected substitutions due to injury, otherwise he might have had a look in. I’m glad to see in that game we didn’t have practically unlimited subs. trotting out, I’ve never seen much point in that (although I think I know why its been done in friendlies in the past) as it completely disrupts the game. Anyway the Beeb are giving tonights England team as: James, P Neville, G Johnson, Knight, A Cole Beckham (capt), Jenas, Carrick, J Cole Crouch, Owen. I’m not a fan of Crouch but plenty of people are, so I suppose he deserves a go. He will add some well needed height to the attack that’s for sure.
