England drew 1 – 1 last night with USA, not the result we were all looking for but the next two games should produce two wins. Here are the highlights from the BBC

I’m late today with this post, ive been busy making fire ribs for the BBQ!!

South Korea won their match this morning 2 – 0 this morning against Greece. The game was quite good, specially compared to what i watched yesterday!! Greece never really looked like they would get into the game and score, it was a deserved win for South Korea.

I’m currently watching the Argentina V Nigeria game, Argentina 1 – 0 up and they look comfortable so far, Nigeria will have to step up their game if they want to knock two past and win.

Then its England, i don’t even know what to say!! Capello hasn’t revealed his team yet, that’s coming later. There has been a lot of media speculation surrounding USA and how they should not be underestimated. I’m not sure if something has changed but i don’t see them as a dominating force, on their day, England can and will beat anyone, if England do not win today then it will be their own fault and not because USA are better than us.

We all know America is a massive place, it seriously is, the state of Florida alone is the size of the UK. Maybe this story shouldn’t be a surprise but it is to be.

Football.co.uk have today ran with a story saying how their will be double the amount of USA fans compared to England fans in Rustenburg on Saturday.

Apparently the USA have sold almost twice the amount of tickets England have for our opening game of the World Cup. England sold 71,000 tickets for the opening game and USA 130,000. When i first read this it urged me to write this blog post but as i was writing it i realised, how do you get 201,000 people into a 40,000 seater stadium? Is Darren Brown attending?

***UPDATE***

I read the news article like a moron, the story says the total number of tickets for the whole tournament not for that specific game.
