Great shot of Americans and Brits serving together in Afghanistan watching the game.

And they say Americans don't care about soccer. Those guys are having a good time.

It was Andres Escobar, the Columbian defender who gave up the own-goal in the US game at the '94 Cup. Reportedly, when he was killed the gunmen shouted "Own Goal" after every shot.

If Green comes back in goal for the second half for England I'd be surprised.
England ought to put him directly on a plane back to the UK.
That was an awful goal.
(I'll take it though.)

Subs are very fragile in the World Cup. They've already subbed in Wright-Phillips, so they are down to 2. I would be quite surprised if Fabio used one to replace a keeper.

England has already used one substitute. I doubt they burn their second one with 45 to play, but you never know.

RIght, after I thought about it for a while I realized it was columbia I just always think brazil for some reason.
 
Re: World Soccer XIII: Through the Group Stages

You can't waste a sub on Green unless you truly think that he is mentally done.

Going to a cold keeper doesn't make sense. Just hope to tough it out.
 
Re: World Soccer XIII: Through the Group Stages

They did burn their 2nd sub, but not in goal. Kind of a thin line to walk with an entire half left.
 
Re: World Soccer XIII: Through the Group Stages

Not that wikipedia is a bastion of accuracy, but they say it's just "goal"

Both recalls of guys who came in sub-healthy, so arguably both were on the coach.

I forget, does Milner carry his yellow one more game?
