1 - 0 england (defoe)

 

[pixburgher66]

i'm just so ticked off.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

england look very determined ... some great chances for rooney and gerrard ... but it just feels like slovenia can get one on the counter

 

[dash]

I'll watch the USA game because it's my country, but I have to say, soccer is the most boring sport

I'll take soccer over baseball...

England seems to be taking care of business.
they have had all the pressure so far.

Don't know whether to switch over to the USA game (in low def, and a choice of french or spanish),
or just be patient for hi-def goodness following this game.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

ooooh ... a moment of indecision from Calamity James on a long free kick ... does well to punch it out but offside flag would have saved him if things went wrong

 

[jstewismybastardson]

wicked elbow to the back of defoes head

 

[dash]

I like England with the red kit...

How is this possible???? God do they ever need replay in soccer. This is just one tournament. This officiating is really making the NBA look good.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

wow defoe with another great chance ... good switch by Capello ... Kurtenbloggers here in Vancouver are big fans of the cross-sports player comparison and they compared Emile Heskey to Canuck Steve Bernier (lol)

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Glenn Johnson gets a yellow for receiving an elbow to the head (lol) - ref thought it was a dive

 

[dash]

Rooney (alas offside)

 

[ritari330]

Oh goodness gracious Dempsey! Put the ball in the net

 

[pixburgher66]

gahd algeria is diving. what a freaking call. BS.

 

[puckhead]

wow defoe with another great chance ...

I'd call that even for his chances then. His goal was just brutal goalkeeping (right at the guy, and just kind of rolled over him).

Slovenia finally making noises inside the 18 yard box.
