S 'n' S: World Cup Part 2

The World Cup has already started a few days ago and there were quite a few surprises already. The new ball, Jabulani, which was the official world cup ball, had got many furious over it. Many complain that the perfectly round ball was a problem when shooting. Even goalkeepers whined about it. The ball is too fast and goalkeepers would have to be more alert.

In the England vs United States match, United States were clearly the underdogs. However, a costly mistake by Robert Green made England lose 2 precious points. The 1-1 tie meant that England would have to buck up if they want to have a chance to win the World Cup. However, things are not looking great for the England coach, Fabio Capello, as he faces a goalkeeping dilemma. After Robert Green made that fateful mistake, Fabio does not know which goalkeeper to choose from. David James was a calamity, Robert Green is rob-bish and Joe Hart is just too inexperienced.

All in all, I wish England all the best.
