One of the better matches so far for the excitement and what not. Would fancy this staying as a draw as we could go top tonight with a decent win against Algeria.

1, that ref was pathetic......2, glad we pulled out the draw, but should have had the win.
3...everyone says that the only reason we beat England was luck...well, the only reason we didn't WIN was also luck, as Jozy's shot hit the post.
If we beat algeria, we still advance, so i'm ok with where we sit

USA made a great comeback, normally I'd say they'd come second and face Germany but I'm not even sure if Germany will win their group anymore.

USA should have won 3-2. Nothing wrong with that last goal at all. Not too worried about Germany losing because they should still make it through. In 1982 they lost to Algeria but still went on to make the final. Apart from Argentina it's really hard to make out who's going to succeed because most big teams are having on/off days.

I do feel US were a little robbed earlier on, but it was good for England

Really, really bad year to be a supposed favorite.. I don't feel so good that Argentina is playing so well. Besides the fact that we always choke somehow, starting off so strong will only make the fall hurt more.

Worst call in a world cup game I have ever seen. Can we appeal his decision to FIFA or something? We would have the lead in the group and facing the team that hasn't even scored a goal yet. Oh well we have to beat algeria by 2 and hope for a Slovenia-England Draw. Then we would finish atop our group

You have no clue what you are talking about. I watched most of the 2006 World Cup and every game this world cup I have been awake for.

Your actual goal was completely down to England (more specifically Green). not really, he put a good shot on, your goalie barely got there, and it it hit the post...pretty lucky It wasn't that good. It was an awful angle and he hit it straight at Green, who pushed it onto the post. This was the only time USA looked threatening. You have no clue what you are talking about. I watched most of the 2006 World Cup and every game this world cup I have been awake for. That is the worst call in a recent World Cup game. Agreed. And I'm sure Ireland would be doing better than the complete crap Domenech is putting out. I'm actually embarrassed to be English after last night's draw. Awful performance, and I'm losing confidence now in our ability to get three points against Slovenia. Capello is a great manager, but I have no idea why he's selecting a formation that clearly doesn't work. Heskey has been alright but can't finish, never has. Don't play him alongside Rooney, who works better on his own. Gerrard needs to be dominant and creative behind Rooney and be the play-maker. Leaving Joe Cole on the bench for Aaron Lennon and Shaun Wright-Phillips is idiotic. This year's World Cup is very disappointing. Nobody is really putting out that good of a performance. The only impressive side so far has been Argentina, though you can't really draw much from matches against Nigeria, Greece or even South Korea.
