feth that mate, i just got home from the pub after the first match, it was really entertaining. Great through ball from the South African for that first goal, i found it a very fun game to watch, they both kinda sucked though.
Now im knacking some bottles before France kick off!
We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.
The best football quotation ever is the Bill Shankly one:
"Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that."

You mean an England opening game? Because I remember that in 2002 I was rather delighted when Senegal beat France.

Though guards may sleep and ships may lay at anchor, our foes know full well that big guns never tire.
The thing that I think is kind of lost here with all the comparison between Englands talent v USA talent is the importance of this game to each team. Sure England has better players, but if England beats the USA it's really not that big of deal to the English becuase they are supposed to beat them, and they look down on US soccer as inferior (and rightfully so, for the moment). However if the USA beats England it would be almost.... if not as special as beating a team like Brazil would be.
A win means more to the US, than to the English, and that could be just enough edge to get the win. Look at what South Africa did vs Mexico....no one thinks South Africa has any chance of getting out of their group, and they almost beat Mexico, who are a decent team.

..we used to sing a version of that song when I was a nipper. Course our lyrics were a bit more....coarse.. IIRC.
The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.
"the play's the thing wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king,
I think I have worked out what will happen. The England and US teams will kck the ball around until eventually one of the England team manages to get his act together stop preening and get the goal in the net. after they have all jumped up and down slid down the corner posts etc they will notice the US team making a phone call.
Team USA will then call in an their airstrike and order a precision drop of 50 footballs in the opposite goal to arrive a while later, however this forgetting the ends change at half time. So they will require a repeat heavier strike of a further strike of 100 balls arriving late in the seciond half, most of which will go in but some will miss and hit England players as per usual. This may be followed up with a final drop of 100 balls in injury time.
US wins approx 200-51.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.
It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.

So they will follow up with a further two larger airstrikes of 100 balls each, most of which will go in but some will miss and hit England players as per usual.
US wins approx 200-51. With some stoppage for injury time.

But that is if and only if they can defeat one of the greatest junior heavyweight boxing teams of all time:
Yea they were good in the ring, but no one can luge like Men's Dance Gymnastic team.

Like I said earlier
we have better songs than you!
You Yanks just don't know how to do football chants
A former British comrade told a tell of a game between the Uk and Germany. The crowd chant was "those who won the war Stand UP!" (they would all of course stand up). Excellent.

If you win, you celebrate, if you lose you get angry, if you tie you... you... hell if I know.
That's why we get angry, we don't know how to react to a tie.
No one ties in America. What do think the A stands for, FRANCE?

Football, basketball, baseball; no ties, only overtime.
Don't forget competitive foursquare. Have you ever seen four elementary school girls play fours quare? I've seen them make professional football players pee themselves they are so mean. Makes me proud to be am American.
And now for no reason in particular:

Yes, it is interesting to contemplate how Americans, who are normally so individualistic, can dedicate themselves to the collective in team based sports.
