I think I had better post this now to prevent the deluge of "heh soccer sux " posts from dirty Americans tomorrow.

England are a very boring team. The USA are a very boring team. Therefore England v USA will be a very very boring game. Probably not as boring as the most exciting baseball game you've ever seen, but still pretty damn boring.

If you want to see some excitement, Argentina v Nigeria is on beforehand, so give that a watch instead.

looking forward to watching my country play like and struggle against a team they should be easily beating. That's what the opening game of England's world cup is always about, after all. I wouldn't bet against the USA snatching a goal from a defensive cock up, and I wouldn't bet against England finally actually trying to do something worthwhile when there's just 10 minutes left on the clock, after having spent 80 minutes faffing about.
