Green the goalie lays World Cup's largest egg

as to quote capello "Sometimes a forward misses, sometimes a keeper makes a mistake - that's football."

The United States egg-faces England in a 1-1 tie!! Oddsmakers predicted England by at least three goals. Will the Teabaggers survive the next level??
 
I'm not going to rip the keeper. I'm not going to rip England. The fact is that the US and England are back at Square 1. We have to keep our eyes on the prize and take care of business with our next 2 matches. We played with them for 70 of the 90 minutes. They dominated us at the very beginning.

We will let the English Tabloids do all the trash talking for us :o :thefinger
 
either goalie could of made that mistake even hart, i prefer james out of the three but he still cocks up from time to time and hes started to get injurys and slow down
 
...You obviously havent watched that much footie.

I certainly have not seen anything like that at a WC. The closest thing I can think of is Escobar's self-goal in 1994, but he of course wasn't a keeper.

It's always possibler you know something I don't, of course -- I haven't seen much of the Belgian sports world. Then again, who has? ;)
 
It's the same old story. A load of bullshit on the pitch by some over paid tossers who think they are all world class. Apart from Rooney the rest are just a bunch of under achievers.

Then we get 30 minutes of the same old excuses from a TV commentry team banging on about how we played well against a side that really had no defence against us. They didn't need one in the second half. We couldn't have scored in a brothel with a fist full of thifty pound notes in that last 30 minutes.

Not to mention the c***t in the nets.

And the TV commentry team try to make out we are still a footballing superpower like we were back in the 1960's. Shit those days are long gone.

To be fair, if you had a competent keeper it would have been 1-0.

If Howard hadn't been on the other side, it probably would have been 2-1 or 3-1.

England could always take a Chinese Olympic team approach and start training goalkeepers rigorously from a very young age under very questionable living conditions.
 
If Rob Green were an ice cream flavour, he'd be pralines and dick
I fall for it every fours years. Dont know why I think it would be anythging but Disappointment? Blind faith and optimism is part of being an England fan.
 
England are one of the top three teams in this world cup. Based on last nights performance they deserved to draw, they should spanked USA.

I don't blame Green, I blame the rest of team for not scoring five!

Just watched an interview with a german keeper, and he said, well, thing is, that every world cup has a new, different ball to play with and this one is really light and fast so it is subject to flutter a bit in flight, and if it hits the ground in his course, it reacts quite a bit different than other, former balls.

Plus, well the bad thing for keepers in comparison to, say, strikers is:

If a striker misses omce, he gets another shot, and people forget.

If a keeper misses once, the whole game can be lost and everyone hates him.

Don't hate on that guy. It is just a game.
 
Rob has my full support. Though just to be certain I think he should rub honey on his palms.
 
Turns out that France and Italy did enough to make themselves the biggest flops of the world cup. Glad to see that the French got knocked out after cheating their way in.
