England vs USA

Another uninspiring performance from England then.  I had hoped, that despite the last couple of matches, we would have stepped it up a gear when the tournament started.  Sadly, it was not to be. 

Green's mistake will appear on countless footballing gaffe DVDs in the future and I haven't really got much to say about it, except I hope Joe Hart gets a chance against Algeria. 

Heskey's work rate was very good but how he has the nerve to call himself a striker is beyond me. 

Why is Ledley King even in South Africa?  He is already ruled out for the next match! 

Why wasn't Joe Cole playing?

Rooney was very quiet as was Lampard.  A couple of long range efforts between them but nothing to write home about.

On the plus side Gerrard led by example.  Good goal and some great tackles when tracking back. 

Here's hoping for a much improved performance on Friday!
