ENGLAND (4-4-2): Green; Johnson, Terry, King, A. Cole; Lennon, Lampard, Gerrard, Milner; Heskey, Rooney. I thought Buddle might partner Altidore, and wasn't sure if Onyewu would be fit (still not sure) but no big surprises.

From: Starcade on 12 Jun 2010 14:46 15' 1-0 England (Gerrard 4') Exactly the start the English needed. And what is it with all the early goals in this tournament, just today??? And the SHITTY defending!!! Heinze at 6' for the Argentines, Jungsoo at 7' for the Koreans, and more bad defending springs Gerrard free to put one past the keeper to put England in front... Some of the coverage says that people are being generous at the English keeper, but, keep the sheet clean -- get three points now. Mike
