England v USA

[StefanWolves]

Johnson, Cole, Gerrard and HESKEY were our best players.

The media somehow forget that Heskey setup the goal.

even i admit heskey was decent but the fact he missed that bloody opportunity knocks his performance down a notch :@
cole was alright

England weren't bad as half of the people made out. We weren't great but weren't bad. Too many people underestimated America. We were unlucky that one of their two shots on target was ****** up by Green (who I feel sorry for). The only criticism was leaving Joe Cole on the bench. I get bored of watching Wright-Philips run into defenders. The USA had a fairly good game but weren't much of a threat going forward- I'm confident we can win against Slovenia and Algeria and score more against them than the USA and finish top of the group.

Johnson needs to sort himself out a bit too. One of our biggest threats going forward yesterday was Lennon, he thrives on receiving the ball early and running at defenders but Johnson somehow felt the need to bomb forward at every opportunity. Although he didn't get caught short, I lost count of the amount of times the USA were on the counter-attack and Johnson at the half way line.

Heskey had a very good game I thought too.

ITV are ****.

The USA obviously highlighted him as a threat because whenever he had the ball the midfielder and defender on his side always seemed to be marking him very closely. That's probably why he was moved to the left.

Johnson played very very well. And he was probably told to go forward. A. Cole was told not to, as Donovan was on his side and Donovan would have taken advantage, but Johnson knew he could get away with going forward a lot and he did so very well.

The good players were Johnson, Terry, Gerrard and Heskey imo. Cole did his job fine but didn't stand out although he wasn't bad either. Same goes for Lampard imo.

yeah i agree, if only he could finish he'd be a good striker.

i though't i'd got away with that, i'll be punished now

I would actually like to see in a friendly:

Hart
Johnson - Ferdinand - Terry - Cole
Barry
Lampard - Gerrard
Rooney
Heskey - Crouch

I know it wouldn't really ever work but I'd love to see what would happen.
