England vs. USA: 1-1 after a disputed first half
World Cup 2010: England vs. USA had a fabulous first half.
First of all, England were the ones to score the first goal, showing the fact that they are the stronger team.
Steven Gerrard was the one to score first and everybody thought that the game would be a total demonstration of strength for Fabio Capello’s boys.
Still, USA showed that they’re not just a sparring partner. Robbie Green made a huge mistake and got the ball into his goal. This got the USA on level terms, making it an amazing first half result for them. The goal scorer is Dempsey, but Green played quite a part.
It was an amazing first half, that will lead to believe that the second half will be even better. Wayne Rooney hasn’t played his part in the game yet, so you should definitely watch the second half. There is a lot in store.

England should have won the match, 1-1 makes the match look even. USA was out classed throughout the first and second half. England’s tackling was superior and USA made quite a lot of sloppy passes making the game look un-even. England made more shots and seemed to be more aggressive. England should have won at least 1-0 (maybe more as they had quite a few chances). The goal conceded was very unlucky as USA’s shot wasn’t very good and England’s goal keeper accidently fumbled the ball letting it roll over the line…
England are unlikely to lose their next 2 matches so America needs to at least win their next 2, preferably with a good goal difference (otherwise they will finish second in the group and most probably face Germany)
Credit to USA, this is the best team I have seen in years from them and they gave it their all. Did USA deserve a point? Yes and no, they worked hard for it but England should have won.
