USA defeats England 1-1
What a rivetting match between England & the USA. I had predicted a 1-0 win to England on our office pool, so it hit me hard when Green let the goal through, but here's a write-up from some USA fans - carrying their "California Republic" flag to the USA-England match, they had the following comments:
-
" Both fan bases were very charged up for the game with the English being confident to the point of arrogant."
-
"the early English goal was a stomach punch to the U.S. fans. Just barely less powerful than walking in on your girlfriend making out with someone else."
-
"We got some good looks and finally took the gift from the English keeper who let the ball go by him like the Phoenix Suns playing defense."
-
"English striker Wayne Rooney kept coming after us like he was a mob enforcer collecting on a delinquent debt."
-
"Of note was the cluster f**k that was the South African planning. We did a park and ride and after the game and it took us two hours to get back to the car."

"Of note was the cluster f**k that was the South African planning. We did a park and ride and after the game and it took us two hours to get back to the car. It was a complete disaster on par with Newman’s attempt to set up a millennium party a year to late, British Petroleum’s attempt to clean up the oil spill or Paula Abdul on any televised event. The English and Americans quickly mended fences and turned on our host country whose police and “volunteers” were as useless as a condom at Comic-Con. All they did was tell us to ask the next person and the police took no control over a crowd that was tired, and on the English side, very irritated. All we kept telling ourselves is that the U.S. got a critical point and that this situation was to be tolerated. In hindsight and after much thought, I’ve come to the conclusion that Gilligan had an easier time of getting off the island than we did of leaving the stadium."
