Well there it is. First goal by England. Collapse of USA's defense lead to it.

lol fail

Haha USA's goalie is so pissed at the team. I would be too.

It was a nice goal, good touch by Liverpool's captain, Steven Gerrard.
There's been a few chances each way, could be 2-1 England.



Hello, 5000th post.

Goal Clint Dempsey. England's goalie lost the ball in the net haha. 1-1.

 

[Oiler35]

Bad goal. Goalkeeper should have had that.

 

[elcheato]

Rofl at that goalie

 

[Mooche]

I know it was obv. the goalie's fault -- but England's defense hasn't looked solid by any means.

Cmon USA we got a goal and some much needed confidence. Lets get another goal and win this!

 

[MapleLeaf]

If this game ends in a tie it'll be the exact reason I hate soccer.

 

[cruzg24]

A tie is exactly what we need. If you hate soccer because of a tie, then you will never like soccer.

A tie feels cheap. You watch sports for the aspect of winning or losing I think. Idk just me. Hockey used to have ties but they added the shootout, much more popular. Soccer should do the same.

I know what you mean, ties only happen in group stage and then after that they go to a shootout.

 

[Dorado]

Yeah right now theyre not playing for wins and loses theyre just playing for points and shit

 

[MapleLeaf]

lol if that's the case wtf was the hype about this game. They were acting like it was the Gold medal hockey USA-Canada all-over again

 

[Dorado]

theyre just hyping it up because its the US and theyre trying to mainstream soccer into the US audience

 

[elcheato]

What the hell is that noise coming from the crowd? Its so annoying

 

[Dorado]

just adds more to the authenticity of southern african soccer

 

[sheed]
