England's Robert Green moments after his goal slipIt's the World Cup match everyone is talking about at the moment. With England scoring in the first 4 minutes. Then the goalkeeper Robert Green letting a USA goal slip passed his fingers, ended with a final score 1-1.
How gutted was the poor guy? I say poor, but some of the media blame him of course and others say that it was down to 'nerves'.
Even after when he saved a difficult goal attempt later on people did not forget. Maybe if England had won the story would have been different?
It was a tense match full of several yellow card's, injuries, numerous fouls on both sides and speculation that certain players should not have been played.There were alot more goal attempts by England but the USA goal keeper seemed to be back on form again after the first goal loss. Much to England striker's Wayne Rooney's annoyance that you could see in his face as he tried to score.
Un-worried Fabio?England manager Fabio Capello said afterwards "For the future, I’m not worried,"
He then went on to say;
"The most important thing is to see the spirit of the team and also the physical condition,"
"We created a lot of chances to score. Seven. Twice in front of the goal, one for Shaun Wright-Phillips, one for Emile Heskey. Alone. Absolutely alone. But this is football."
Then asked but had he made mistakes? "No mistakes,"

i am simply gutted.
Hey there Tina,
I think that the fact that the Americans even came up with a tie is a feat of itself. The English seemed to be the better team and if not for that gaffe of the ball bouncing off of Green's hands, England would have won 1-0.Being America, I want to see my country do well, but we all know that soccer is not America's strength. Later!
