It's never easy being an England fan.

LOLLL, that was one of the worst pieces of goalkeeping I have ever seen. I would not be remotely surprised if we lost this game.

ETA: A draw. WORLD CUP VICTORY, HERE WE COME. :/

Well, to be fair, I think the US is an underestimated opponent and could be a real pain in the ass for other teams as well. They didn't exactly showcast this in this game though, they only really had like two or three chances. However, they had two outstanding players: a defender and the goalkeeper. I guess sometimes that makes all the difference.

And they may be frustrating, but at least they are entertaining and usually keep you on the edge of your seat, unlike many other teams. And compared to Austria's national team they are amazing, so I don't really regret preferring England in general.

That's true, they're apparently ranked 14th in the world, but it was still our mistake that cost us the match. You're right that England are entertaining, I just wish it was more often for good reasons. ;)

I think I may just be physically unable to support/love any team that has a legitimate shot at winning the title. England is a good team, so why can't they they have ONE capable goalkeeper?

They do, but he's sitting on the bloody bench. And I'm not talking about Calamity James :-)
