Opening games are notoriously cagey affairs, you two should have made a packet.Originally posted by sasguru View PostHate to say I told you so but as minestrone and I predicted it was a draw.
And could so easily have been a loss.
I give England 5/10, a team can only peak once during a tournament.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

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.Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostOpening games are notoriously cagey affairs, you two should have made a packet.

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.Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostFIFA 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.
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.Comment
