...hearing reports reports saying Milner has been crook is why he was taken off.
Yeah BBC reported he was suffering from a virus prior to game.

Not good form Capello starting him then. Or perhaps the Doctor got that wrong.

Heskey must score......       he doesn't.   
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty  

"England coach Fabio Capello is not having a great night. The decision to pick Robert Green has backfired. The decision to play James Milner despite illness has backfired. The decision to risk the injury-troubled Ledley King has backfired. Apart from that..."

ok, so relative to what are they sh*t? the top 1% of teams in the world? 0.1%?

being sh*t at a very elite level doesn't make you sh*t

Good save from Green. Altidore just too quick for Carragher, this before but only got a replay.

This is a hard game for me to watch. My English half is going for Engerland, but I'd love to see the English "we're going to win the World Cup, everyone else is sh*t" fans get some egg on their faces. But blood is thicker than spite, so come on Engerland!

why are you even mentioning NZ? they're not playing, this game has no bearing on us... i wasnt trying to compare anybody - can i make a statement without needing to rank the world's teams in order of quality just to appease you?

Since you're apparently outlawing slang to put across my opinion, i'll say it clearer for you;
 
"I believe that both sides i am currently watching are not playing anywhere near to the level that their respective supporters had hoped for or even expected prior to this match"
 
And my disclaimer: Since i made that assertion the quality of the game has improved and become more entertaining for the neutral (me)

I actually think USA are probably playing better than expected - and it was USA I was originally referring to

Buddle and Altidore.  If they get the ball, they'll kill Terry and Carragher for pace.
