The first game in a World Cup
tournament is always a difficult one. The game against USA could have
been the perfect banana skin slip. England managed a draw after a great
domination in 90 minutes.
England had their oppertunities and could have won the game with a large
margin, but a well performing Tim Howard stopped everything after
England's 1-0 goal.
Steven Gerrard was England's best player and he showed Fabio Capello
that he can be one of the best players of the 2010 World Cup.
Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard never really managed to influence the
game, but everyone knows what they can do if they get their oppertunites.
Robert Green made one big mistake in the game, but also had a real match
winning save in the 2nd half. Green is first choice and Capello will
probably not axe his goalkeeper for the next game.
Glen Johnson made a solid performance and showed that his offensive
skills can be a great weapon for England in future games.
Peter Crouch and Emile Heskey made good performances and both players
will contribute with their strengths and physics in a team that could
flourish.
USA is the team to fear in this group, described as the best since The
Beatles.
The big question for England manager Fabio Capello is how England will
cope with their injury problems and lack of cover in the squad.
