I would agree the US outplayed the English in the first half and had far more legitimate chances to score. However after the goal it's like the US decided one was enough and they would just sit back and play defense. The Brits took the game to US in the second half. If the US wants to go far in this tournament they will have to attack more than they did in that second half.
Congrats to Ghana on their HUGE win over Serbia, first ever win in a world cup by an African team, IN AFRICA!!! Fantastic!!
You must have been watching the wrong game. It's the way the ball is "handled" is what makes the difference. The Brits were no where close to the goal with their shots. Kicked one directly at the Keeper. Corner kicks means the ball went out of bounds. Even the Commentators commented on how the US outplayed England!! "Giving us one" is part of the game!
Give the politics a break on this thread Lue.... I'm begining to think your suffering OCD......
Anyway.....What's that sound during the games....African Killerbees ??? or the Vuvuzelas.....apparently a homegrown elongated gazoo.......well it's here to stay, FIFA has defended the home-grown horn from a barrage of complaints..... however, probably the last world Cup in Africa for a long time.....

The vuvuzelas probably annoy the players, but I don't have an issue with it.
I personally think it adds to the game.
Ever been to a domed stadium for a pro football game? OMG talk about noise!!!!
Actually, if I recall right. The sound in South African Stadiums has the same decibal reading of 7 jetplanes, they said.
I thought, maybe alone, on that reason, they could ban those nasty horns, being a health issue.
by the way, watched Brazil vrs N. Korea today. Only 2:1.
Sofar, only the Germans really should how good they are.
Defending champs Italy only tied , and semi-finalist Portugal, tied as well, against some odd team
