@ 30 min

* US controlling ball much better (58%)
* booked England defender subbed, probably unhealthy?
* England defense proving difficult to soften; offense limited to
catching US too far forward

Dempsey must have kicked it harder than anyone realized.

You named the wrong keeper.

Ciao,
Werner
From: Starcade on
41' 1-1 (Gerrard 4' -- Dempsey 40')

Scare for the US earlier as Howard took a spike in the arm, but
appears OK.

Just as it really looked like it was going to be another one of
"THOSE" matches in this Cup, Robert Green muffs a shot by Dempsey and
the match is square!!

What a gift...

I reiterate: WHAT IS IT WITH THE DEFENSE IN THIS CUP?
