    Slovenia are going to be topping the group at this rate.

      And could so easily have been a loss.
      Opening games are notoriously cagey affairs, you two should have made a packet.

      I give England 5/10, a team can only peak once during a tournament.

        No need to panic just yet. Hardly the end of the world. The USA are a decent outfit, and people that study the game will know that. For those who rely upon the hysterical pre-match jingoistic hysteria of the redtops, this result will perhaps have come as a huge shock. But as they hardly matter, who cares? If they are feeling bad, they can just attach a few more flags to their car, have a few more cans of wifebeater, and off they go.

          I feel so much better now, thanks Shaun!

            My mum was of the opinion that we should have stuffed 'em. Point made.

              FIFA introduce a new faster, lighter ball before every tournament, I think they've gone a step too far as this one seems to behave like a PTFE coated beach ball.

              I know it looks like we're blaming the tools but the change in ball and the altitude have got to factor when a keeper is used to certain speed, weight, grip and trajectory.
              Not at all, it is a crap ball. Sure it applies to all teams, but that just means that all games have suffered. Players from all sides are complaining about it.

              If FIFA wanted to open up the tournament by nullifying skills, which isn't out of the question knowing them, they have gone the right way about it.

                  The new ball is made by Adidas... need I say more?

                  According to this it looks as though Adidas has always supplied the WC balls, Gerry is a sneaky bugger.

                      Indeed, but let's wait and see how they perform against someone better than Hartlepool United.
