Group C - England, United States, Algeria, Slovenia

[Goughy]

Fantastic ball in from Milner there.

World class. Im not a huge fan of Milner but nice to see a player selected out wide with 'final ball' being an attribute.

It's really getting my goat how the commentary team are bigging this up as if Jermaine Defoe is the saviour and this is some sort of incredible result. England are beating one of the worst teams in the competition for god's sake, this should not be any great surprise.

Geez Lampard should've put that one away. England all over this so far.

 

[Athlai]

**** could have been a goal there easily.

Who is it? We have Martin Tyler and Efan Ekoku

If they're going to let the refs decide the outcome, why even play the games?

 

[The Sean]

Is the other game being shown? I can't find it anywhere.

Not actually sure tbh, some BBC guy, not the worst commentator, but the amount of hype they are giving this is really annoying.

Edit: We've got Mark Lawrenson doing his usual unfunny schtick.

 

[Jarquis]

Mark Lawrenson and Guy Mowbray

 

[Bobisback]

Haha, nice shot.

When was the last time England actually played well?

qualifying?

Alternatively, 1966.

Soccer works better if you view it as a random number generator.

Though at the same time being American is a fairly clear infringement

 

[silentstriker]

And now the US miss an open net. Ugh.

 

[silentstriker]

What? HOW DO YOU MISS A GOAL WHEN THERE ARE NO DEFENDERS, NO GOALIE AND TWO OF YOU!!??!!!

Come on SS, I want to see you out there banging them in.

 

[silentstriker]

I would make that goal 1 out of 10 times. They should make it 10 out of 10.

 

[silentstriker]

Halftime. We should have four points and be leading this game 1-0. So ridiculous.

 

[Johnners]

Massive lol @ the Slovenian goalkeeper, biggest accident waiting to happen. Just hit the ball reasonably hard at him and will probs get it in.

Get Cole on for Lampard imo, Gerrard into the middle.

 

[Pratters]

Come on US! Some how qualify.
