Ghana were the better team but they lacked the bottle when it mattered most. That mackem with his one-step runup

Stevie's Waterloo? Why because you, another Asian and a lad from Burnley thought the ref had a good game? Because you're a racist cunt.

Class result, get in you Dutch!

Should rename this thread "Stevie's Waterloo." Utter nonsense from Stevie, class from the ref. Dutch really have pulled it together in the last 25 minutes, they look a completely different side.

Netherlands have looked helpless. Brazil toying with them. Won't be long before they'll score again and it'll be game over.

It's awful, typical cheap as chips charva shit. Whatever swirly shit is going on with the keeper kit should be locked away in Alcatraz and never spoken of again.

Redknapp. I despise him. I suppose he would be good though, probably better than Capello, and there's no financial aspect to England so he can't send them into administration...can he?

If Capello were a man he'd walk. Doubt he will and he will be sacked. I would've had Hodgson to replace him but it appears Woy is headed to Liverpool. Really can't think of another decent candidate.

That looked a flagrant dive from Torres. The Chilean should've been off already for an earlier tackle but Torres went down clutching his face when his ankle AT MOST got a feather touch.

Really didn't think we were anything special. Compared to the dross from the previous two matches it was a huge improvement but we completely took our feet off the gas in the second half and seemed tentative and weak, settling for 1-0 instead of pressing on to try to win the group.

Christ, USA have won. Goddamn Algerians literally cannot do anything right. Pretty feeble performance from England. I hope there's not going to be back-patting from Capello and the rest of the England camp. We played like shit and squeaked through.

Vastly improved performance there. Encouraging signs. Lampard should've buried that in the empty net, useless as always. Rooney looks off the pace again as well. COME ON ENGLAND!

In fairness, they're only talking about a loan. I'd be happy if we were really in for him.

End of the line for both France and RSA. Sad to see the latter go but truly laughable stuff from France.

France truly dissolving now SA just had another one disallowed for offside, these sad frogs may as well go home at halftime.

I'll be watching France/SA, I'm guessing Mex-Uruguay will be a wink-wink nudge-nudge "accidental" draw and thus 90 minutes of true drivel.

Everybody's probably seen this pic a hundred times already but anyway.

American commentator: "I think it'd be fair to say New Zealand beat Italy 1-1." They're at it again!

Actually, I found Pascal le canard hilarious.

And this is not an overreaction either. We had no right to be happy with a draw with USA but it could've been written off if we'd showed up against Algeria and Slovenia, but if we couldn't even beat this shower of half-French journeymen we're in very real danger of not making it out of the group stage. Slovenia will fancy it and they've got every right.

This load of worthless wankers want fucking shooting tbh. Capello can go with them. Just what is he playing at, the idiot, starting Heskey and Barry and playing Gerrard on the left wing ffs. His subs were diabolical as well. Rooney looked like he couldn't be arsed. Worst performance from him I have ever seen. The lot of them are a disgrace.

Slovenia completely switched off. Edu's goal should surely have counted though, inexplicable decision by the ref who also let USA off very easy on some dirty fouls. All in all USA just about shaded it. Now I'm a little worried about these Yankee wankees beating Algeria and us slipping up against Slovenia.

Awful team (Algeria) who should be easy pickings. Egypt beat them 4-0 in CAN, as Stevie already mentioned, Ireland did them 3-0, awful awful awful and we should overcome them easily. James in goal would be my pick as well. Definitely Green needed dropping.

Since Hughton is obviously three times the manager KK was, we'll get three times the points he got away to Man U with half the squad quality. The magic of Ashleynomics.

Feeble performance.
