Last night's game was the equivalent of Villa v Blackburn, so why do people think it should have been a walkover?
My great-uncle Alf had exactly the same problem in '66 in the first match.

No one dislikes Heskey as a player more than me, everyone knows that on this site, I thought he had a decent game last night, he did what he was in the side for in my opinion.
However the reason he is the side is because he supposedly brings the best out of Rooney...well that certainly wasnt the case last night.
As long as we persist with either Heskey or Crouch as a front man we wont do anything in this world cup, we still go long ball from the full backs to often when we have the big man upfront, we should be keeping the ball and playing through midfield where our best players are.
It was crying out for Defoe not Crouch in those last 20 mins, a really sharp little finisher not another lump changing like for like Heskey/Crouch.
For me we have to Keep Gerrard central, that means playing him behind Rooney who becomes the furthest player forward like with Man U then Barry can come into Central midfield and give Lampard a bit more freedom to bomb forward, something he didnt have the opportunity to do last night.
Positives are there is still time to sort it, and we will still win the group

I’m starting to get a bit pissed off with ESPN and the other US networks crucifying Green for yesterday’s fiasco and continuously showing that bloody clip – but thinking about it he does partly deserve it for making a complete tit of himself in front of a few hundred million viewers. The comparison with Howard’s blinder is embarrassing.

That has got to be fake.
Since when has the US given a shit about soccer, giving it a front the page and nothing like that on their website.
Nope. It was on their website earlier, and if you scroll down the page, on the right hand side (about half way down, next to the sport section headlines) there's a couple of images of the days covers. It's not a fake

Since when was football a mathmatical equation? It has nothing to do with maths. When was the last time Rooney scored for England? Let's have the stat on that shall we, and then tell me the last time Heskey scored for England. And tell me that's a good front two.
Unless the team changes for the next match, we won't be doing anything major.
But, in happier news, if Slovenia beat USA, they're through. We'd just need to beat Algeria to require a mere point against the already qualified Slovenia to knock out USA.
It's not over, far from it. 1-1 isn't the worst result in the world, in context.

I wouldn’t call it light hearted – it’s more like Fox News in print and even more right wing than the Daily Mail if that’s possible.
I may have been misinformed.
