You listen to Steve McManamanamanamanamanamanamanamanaman?

Well, he is kinda hawt.

ESPN is doing a good job this time. The annoying ticker is gone FINALLY!

Ugh. That was painful. My support of England is the triumph of hope over experience. Truly I must be a masochist.

i should have put money on that result. I knew it.

Typical boring performance.

I love how this tie is being spun as a victory over here right now. I'm sure the tie is not being seen as such over there right now -- I assume there's a collective national spasm of anger and shame.

One England match down and I want to shoot myself in the face.

You came close to having to swallow an actual loss Maven. A tie is surely preferable to that?

A loss would at least bring some measure of true agony and with that resignation. Here there is the glimmer still of hope, and that's almost more cruel. Don't worry; I'm used to it.

What some people fail to realise is that while England are 8th in the FIFA world rankings, the USA are 14th, which is just 6 places lower down the rankings. Most of the USA doesn't know they have a good team, who are second seeds in the Group for a good reason.

I'll live with a 1:1 draw. But I'd prefer David James in goal, and not just because I'm a Pompey supporter

That's exactly what Jon (my dude) said.

My bet is he'll say, "Why didn't I put money on it?" about 12 times during this tournament.

As a long time Seattle Seahawk American Football fan I can truly say I feel your pain! I liked to play soccer as a kid, but don't watch too much except World Cup when it comes around. I thought this game was pretty good myself.

I was in the pub with some people yesterday and everyone else was thinking it would be a 3-1 England win.

Nope.

Dam right, our cup is half full here is this great nation.
