From the Beeb footie site


Britain's Sunday newspapers showed no sympathy for England goalkeeper Robert Green after his blunder allowed the United States to equalise in their group C encounter which ended 1-1.

The News of the World, Sunday Mirror and Independent all used the headline, "Hand of Clod" with the Sunday Mirror adding, "Tainted Glove" and the News of the World exclaiming, "Stars and Tripe".

"Green Fingers," read the Sunday Times, while the Mail on Sunday simply lead with, "Calamity".



I know it's not funny but Tainted Glove made me smile

Todays fixtures:


Algeria v Slovenia
Serbia v Ghana
Germany v Australia

Yay, they are thinking of banning those blooming horns inside the stadia

Thank F*** for that...they're doing my head in!


Do you reckon we can do a sneaky swap with Nigeria for their keeper?

 That's exactly what my hubby said...I didn't watch it but he said the Nigerian keeper saved them from humiliation. Felt so bad for Robert Green 

He had a stormer didn't he Croc?
All the talk on the Arsenal forums is about the rumour that we (Arsenal) are in for Green - Gawd help us
I had to laugh at a line in that horn report


"We did say that if any land on the pitch in anger we will take action."

He did...he was bloody brilliant!

And you shoud never trust anyone called Green anway

Did you see the James Corden thing last ight after the game...he was talking about that and that if any horns are thrown o the pitch they will be banned...he offered 4 tickets to Chessington or somewhere for anyone that did it!

No I listened to the moan in on 5live instead!! So will they be banned if they are chucked on NOT in anger as well?

No one is liking them it seems, this blogger isn't happy

I did read some where that cos of the decibe level they can damage hearing in as little as 15 minutes..not to mention the other injuries they cul case when people are driven to shoving them where the sun don't shine!!



What with that and missing the England goal cos of the ITV HD cock up I wasn't a happy bunny last night

I was watching it on bog standard tv so didn't have a problem. It's not the first time ITV have done that; remember the Liverpool v Everton FA Cup match where they cut away to ads and a goal was scored?
Much as I moan about the licence fee at least you don't get that with the beeb

We normally forget that we have ITV HD anyway bu last night the husband remembered for once!


I was glaf thatgerard finally put in a performance...he doesn't do that often enough for England and I thought Johnson always looked good....

In spite of the result, I was actually exited by the match last night. England put together some really good moves and they were dynamic and skillful in places. I thought Heskey played a blinder, and Lennon was awesome 

Todays Matches are...

barney V brisket

Pengy V Suzybean

Leccy V soozywoo

Yeah the performance was promising....Heskey was good (though I don't nomally rate him...for a big bloke he spends too much time on his arse)

Cheers

I promise to take note of what happens from now on

While England are better than they showed last night, they are still average.  I think they will definitely qualify but there is now no guarantee they will get top spot. Rooney wasn't in it at all last night, Heskey is a complete dead weight, Crouch looked promising when he came on, he should have been introduced earlier. Lennon and Glen Johnson looked good going forward but it seems to be if Rooney doesn't play well England don't play well.

Nobdy is talking about his fantastic save in the 50th min. If the goal hadn't happened, that's all the papers would be shouting about today, in the event, no real mention of it.

I felt a lot of pity for Green, but to say England would have won with Hart or James is also untrue, I mean they could have gave away a penalty, messed up a dodgy back pass etc. He did well, and his kick-outs were good.

But on the note of Goal keepers, the USA keeper made some awesome saves.

Tim Howard has always been a fantastic keeper..he showed true grit even after being bulldozed by Heskey...it was an exciting match all round.

I agree.

It really wasn't a fantastic save though.It looked good in real time until you see it in slow motion He fumbled it again and was saved by the post

He's not the reason England didn't win though. Too many average performances aside from Gerrard, Heskey (who was really good everywhere except where you need him to be great in front of goal) and Johnston wasn't bad going forward but still goes missing at the back

Lol



The French have blamed the vuvuzelas for their draw against Uruguay


Good stuff

But they drew

Edited



I only woke up about 10 mins ago

I was trying to keep that one quiet MMAPP !!........

We need any excuse we can get!!!.....

I feel sorry for Barney and Brisket


These two sides are trying to murder the world cup

Thank god for the new ball livening things up

Lol

So as it stands Slovenia are at the top of England's group.

Hi everyone, Yeah I want Algeria to score now for a draw, allthough I haven't seen anything from these to unduly worry England

barney 0-1 brisket....

I would like subtitles for all the anthems.......

Ok Serbia v Ghana is looking a lot better than the borefest that was Algeria v Slovenia - apart from the comedy keeping!

Oh jesus...
