Asian soccer star, London – Amid great expectations and a certain amount of trepidation from a nation glued to their TV screens, England kicked off to a flying start in their first group match against the USA in South Africa. England captain led by example, placing a delicate goal past USA’s goalkeeper Tim Howard after Heskey subtle set up.
It didn’t help that fans watching in HD missed the goal when TV screens around the nation went blank at the exact time the goal was scored. According to ITV, the problem was due to “human error at an outside company”.
England looked like cruising to victory until an error from first choice goalkeeper Rob Green put the USA on equal terms. An error that left a nation reeling in the knowledge that “we’ve all been here before”.
But, England can recover and are fully expected to make it through to the next round.
