I would have played Ashton instead of Defoe.
Young instead of Lampard.

England vs USA
- Thread starter Nick 0208 Ldn
- Start date
Happy to see Rooney and Defoe upfront (I rate Defoe), but unsure about that midfield. Looks like alot of longballs again. USA to dominate the midfield, scrappy 1-1 affair.
From the bbc match thread:
How long until kick off?
5 mins
how long before I am bored? Il give it 15 minutes
Well done Becks
Well done Becks.
Yep, due credit to Becks.
Beckham looked embarrassed.
The speaker system on the national anthem of Yanks is awful
The singing was awful too (sadly)

Shameful the England fans didn't boo the Yank Nat anthem...
Well done Becks.
Kelly Rowland singing the USA anthem. I hope we dont lose to them. It will be a disgrace.

Nice women singing our anthem.
What did Beckham do?
Seems like its gonna be
Beckham - Lampard - Hargreaves - Rooney
-----------------Gerrard-----------------
-----------------Defoe-------------------

Kudos to that little kid that sang GSTQ
All the games I've watched the US against a top nation only once have I seen them dominate a midfield (Germany, 02WC). Very rarely do they control midfield. It's usually the wings and the keepers, with the odd great performance from a central defender and a forwards saving the day.
Is there any point to this announcer.
Cmon England!
Are they not showing this live online?
Off we go!
What is this? Euro finals?

For those that can't watch on tele, listen on radio, or view a live stream, you can follow the USSF matchtracker. I should be leaving work at 4 so I'll be able to catch the second half.

I'm bored with it already...
Any streams, or online radio??? (Available outside the UK?)
very good England Line-up. Defoe lets it down.
In fact I would say that would be the English Team I would play if given teh chance Minus Defoe

The same midfield as used by the last three managers.
That's a messed up midfield.
And still everyone of them is the best in England.
The combination never worked for the last three managers either

Gerrard diving again?
One from the training ground from Hunchback
Diving in a friendly 
Since when did Capello say he was going to do what the other three managers did. Let Capello do his job. He will learn and probably get a better defense which will allow these 4 midfielders to be more creative
