Good point. I was hoping for the same, but it's gone past the boring stage already

Good fightback from the US, 2-2 with seven minutes to go. A draw would relieve England of a bit of a pressure so here's hoping.

Slovenia have been as bad in the 2nd half as they were good in the first.

That was as embarrassing as Rob Green's fumble, goalkeeping of the lowest standard.

Not at all. Green's was far far worse, in fact it's shocking that you've tried to compare the two.

USA should be 3-2 nothing wrong with that goal, a referee from Mali completely out of his depth. Called some shockers in this one.

The referee in the Germany v Serbia game was just as bad and he referee's in La Liga every week. Country of origin means nothing, it's the performance on the pitch that's important. Yes it was a shocking decision, but to say he was out of his depth purely based on where he comes from is ridiculous.

England have to beat Algeria by 2 clear goals and we can draw against Slovenia.
Assuming USA beat Algeria.

I didn't say it did make a difference where he was from, I didn't know his name so I just mentioned where he was from. The referee in the Germany game was awful, I think this fella was worse myself though.

USA showed great spirit today and I thought they were unfortunate when Maurice Edu's goal was ruled out. I hope they progress to the next round, in second place of course.

Oh dear, ITV have gone for an ad break after the National Anthems.

They're very brave.
