A bit of half time trivia for ye's , The American skipper that day in 1950 when USA beat England 1-0 was Scottish , McIllveny was his name , he had agreed to take out American citizenship but never did.He went on to play for Man Utd.

The guy who scored the goal that shook the world died in prison , executed for obscure reasons , in Haiti or somewhere like that , even as an American hero nobody stepped up to the plate to save him.

The goal was a keepers error but without doubt team USA deserve a point out of this.Totally take my hat off to them , they have played well and their Keeper outstanding.Good defence all round.

Yes! I can't believe my prediction of a tie actually happened. We'll gladly take that point and worry about our next opponent.

Hell yeah a tie is a damn good way for the first game, especially with two teams who are expected to do quite well

The only reason it was a game was because if you noticed, you never heard Rooney's name at all.
After the game, one of the announcers made a good point - "Rooney didn't touch the ball until the 17th minute and didn't get a touch inside the 18 until late in the first half."
Although I am sure we will both make it out of our group, England better be worried after the showing of their GK. Also, Altidore missed 2 shots - a header and his one run down the left. It could have very easily gone our way.

Good game nonetheless.
