That was one of the cheapest goals I have ever seen in World cup play. Glad it is even now

No doubt. We need that kind of stuff to beat England, though. Clearly, they're the better team. Clearly, though, they're not THAT much better. Rooney has been a ghost. A tie or win is not out of the realm of possibility now.

The equivalent of Detroit Tigers' pitchers fielding circa 2006? Jim Marshall running the wrong way? Fred Brown to James Worthy, Georgetown-UNC '82?

I'll say this as they're showing more replays now that the English player is down... On a ball like Howard gets his *** to the ground and smothers that ball completely to his chest. He's one of the best. Green looked like how we teach our younger keepers to do get set, but there's always the risk when you just use your hands that it will rebound or slip out. Get your chest on it. Put your whole body in front of it and smother it completely.

Man... What a break.

Goaltending is all about cutting down the angle and using your full body. Green failed miserably

The US defense sure seems like it could play with more coordination. They seem to be scrambling way too much. I can't believe England didn't score on that one chance from the left side.

Nah, the cheap goal Tretiak gave up at the end of the first period during the Miracle on Ice.

I don't know how they can focus on play with those swarms of Africanized bees threatening them.

It's Bagwell, Biggio and Berkman.
