ham_aka_stam Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Why would US media portray Robert Green as a villain? Perhaps a comedy hero. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartwork Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 As long as Algeria play like they did against slovenia it would perhaps be wise to rest rooney if he has a knock, england could still win the game. Apparently USA has a fairly poor record against central/eastern European teams which bodes well for England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasdgfas Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Why would US media portray Robert Green as a villain? Perhaps a comedy hero. because they're not just looking at it from the USA point of view and are trying to be a neutral observer? I also disliked the swipe at US TV for calling it a tie as opposed to a draw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason the Yank Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 There's nothing wrong with being less familiar with a sport. What does annoy me is completely ignorant people shouting their opinion to everyone thinking they are some sort of expert. You also get people watching for years who are obviously clueless. In the US, these people are typically sportswriters. (oh hai, Jay Mariotti and Tony Kornheiser) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason the Yank Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3013091/USA-beats-England-1-1.html?OTC-RSS&ATTR=NewsNot sure if it's already been posted. The New York Daily news hailed the 1-1 result as one of the greatest ever for the US team. Its report said: "If the world needed any more convincing that the U.S. team was for real, it got its answer Saturday night. "Playing one of the World Cup contenders even and taking advantage of a gift goal, the Americans walked out of Royal Bafokeng Stadium with a stunning 1-1 draw against highly favoured England in the Group C confrontation before 38,646 enthusiastic fans." NY Daily News clearly clueless. England came in about as much of a contender as Mexico. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confused Clarity Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Think he's referring to the ITV HD picture being rubbish the rest of the game after the goal/ad. Was noticeably bad. Not quite as bad as SD, but definitely not HD. It seems like the captioning was fine, but the play definitely wasn't crisp. I know, He said his dad didn't realise that it was in SD and not HD, hence my post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartwork Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Think it should also be worth mentioning about the NY Post thing that Bunker Hill was a Pyrhhic victory for Britain, not a tie as they claim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdpatriots12 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Already on top of that one earlier in the thread Cited Monmouth as a better example lol" The battle was a tactical British victory, as the rearguard successfully covered the British withdrawal. However, strategically it was an American victory, as they were ultimately left in possession of the field, and had, for the first time, demonstrated that the Continental Army regiments could stand against British regulars.[5] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallen Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 We were long ball in the USA match. England + Heskey - Barry = long ball. Simple as that really Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
