Someone on the Finnish TV wondered that same thing already yesterday and suggested that maybe Finland should send some goal keeper coaches to England. Seems that he may be right that the goalies can be an Achilles heel for England.Quote:

I felt England had more chances but Green made up for his error with a great save. Emile Heskey missed a great chance one-on-one with the keeper as did Wright-Phillips.
More good than bad overall.
i dont think they played as well in the 2nd half BUT did well just a shame green was half asleepQuote:

perfect irony: when we play sub-par we win, when we play well like today we draw! I thought very good performance, should of won, and a shocker for green, I feel really sorry for him. but an england keeper is always going to make one howler in a world cup, so at least he's got it out of the way nice and early.
as for the other games today: greece were very poor. south korea outclassed them by far, my bet for 2nd place in the group. when attacking the argentines were very good, but with messi, higuan, milito, tevez and more-that should be compulsory for the argies. shame about their suspect defence. I blame that solely on Maradonna. no Zanetti. No cambiasso-insane. argentina should of scored 3/4 today, but thats football. Messi was exceptional and should've scored at least a brace.
looking foward to more great world cup footy tomorrow.
We should have dominated the game tonight,but after the first goal,we sit back,and the work load is mediocre.
USA passing was far better than ours,and their goal,should have been blocked by the 5 English players in front of the guy that scored,he had far too much room allowed him. On his own he turned the ball AND had plenty of time for his shot,they should have closed him down.Green was at fault fordropping the ball,but so were the 5 players who allowed the striker TOO much space
sky news wee having a field day with it.Quote:

A 1-1 wont do anything for the popularity of the sport in the USA. They don't understand the concept of a draw. :dozey:
In the World Cup pool play it's worth one point.Quote:
