Last night England left the pitch at Green Point Stadium to the resounding fury of there own fans turning against them, it is sad and demoralising to witness, sloping off after a dire performance?.

Where has it all gone so badly wrong?, the failure of the team to qualify for Euro 2008 proved that England cannot step up to the plate and win the big matches, yesterday there self belief just evaporated away, along with there spirit and will to win?Rooney?s actions, words and body language as he berated the chorus of booing English fans explains why England lie third in group C, because trawling through the shambles and chaos there is so little England can take sustenance from , just frustration and anger. ??.Ashley Cole, "It could have been worse." ??wait we still have the Match with Slovenia on Wednesday in Port Elizabeth to come, not exactly an inspiring call for action?Not sure Kayoko were we go from here, that is what Capello is paid ?4.5 million a year to figure out..

But there again yesterday was a day of contrasts from the frills and excitement of the USA?s pulsating fight back with Slovenia, all looked lost when Birsa opened the scoring then just before half time Ljubijankic gave Slovenia a 2 nil lead, but what emerged from the tunnel for the second half tore Slovenia to pieces, one of the wondrous abilities Bob Bradley has instilled in his US side is a never give up attitude and the result was one of the most thrilling and entertaining matches yet in championships, and all due respects to Slovenia a nation after all of less than 3 million people??

I have never accepted that the USA cannot play soccer, yesterday proved beyond any reasonable doubt the USA can.

FunkyStrawberries and Illastrate are rightfully furious, along with all US footie fans who feel mugged after what looked like a perfectly good goal, the sure fire winner was ruled out by referee Koman Coulibaly, who has yet to supply any reason ?.FIFA must demand a full public explanation?

Giga that outrageous with Fathers Day approaching ???.

Quote of the World Cup from US Coach Bob Bradley "This team has shown it keeps fighting to the end, It's a credit to the mentality of the players, and that they are willing to fight for 90 minutes??..way you go Bob ?
