Absolutely unbelievable. The pub I was in just went absolutely silent when that happened. I mean, how on earth do you react to that? You don't see that happen down the park, let alone in a World Cup match. But it's typical England at a major tournament, we always find new and inventive ways to fuck it up for ourselves, although I must admit this one was quite impressive.
On the other hand, a draw isn't the worst result, and like I said before, the US aren't too shabby a team; I expect them to be in the 2nd round minimum, if not the last 8. I still think Joe Hart should be our goalkeeper, but our manager is reluctant because he's 'too young'. In my book, if you're good enough, you're old enough.
I feel bad for Green, because he'll always be remembered for that now, and not that good save in the second half. I don't think it would be too much to say his meaningful career may well be over, you don't get away with doing things like that in an England shirt, we're an unforgiving lot (well, the media is unforgiving, and the masses follow the media...).
