Guess with the exception of the 2010 World cup match up between USA & England!

Are you talking about the one that we won 1-1? That was ace!
Yeah, the one you lost 1-1!
Was a fun game, pity that it is unlikely we'll match up again this year.
Hahaha...Rob Green: The gift that keeps on giving!
That game was a lot of fun actually. But for Americans...that at the death winner and Ian Darke's call against Algeria was one of those moments I'll never forget. Gives me goosebumps still when I queue it up on the DVR (yes, still have it).
Was one of the best sports calls I've ever heard, and you could tell, even as an Englishman 'doing his job', that he was genuinely going bonkers (in a good way) in the moment.
Yes mate...that's the one. Running joke as it was the headline in the New York Post after the game.
Really though...we look at ourselves like minnows in world football when compared to England. So 1-1 almost felt like a win to be honest.
*EDIT* I misread your post...very cool you were there. The vuvuzela's defined that tournament...not the football, sadly enough.

I didn't see many (if any) England or USA fans with vuvuzela's at that game mate. Plenty of Africans at the game who did though unfortunately.
Truly awful contraptions.

When Ross has been "on it" this season he's looked by far England's next hero. Ok he's had dipps in form but IMO only a couple of really bad performances...and at 20, in his first season I think that is more than allowed.
As for England, the problem he's got is he's fighting out with Rooney really for that No.10 shirt. Having said that Rooney has had it far too easy in a England shirt for years. He's seemingly un-droppable which is laughable given his performances. About time there was someone who could replace him either off the bench or in the first 11.
Roy will prove how out of touch he his with modern football with both his squad selection and tactics at the WC.
John Stones literally can't be ignored with his performances over the last 2 months, but he will be for Jones/smalling just because they play utd! (Who were well off the pace down in 7th btw Roy!)
My biggest worry about the WC is by the time it finishes barca may want bobby, Ross and stones!!

Sadly, you are probably correct. However, I am feeling a small groundswell of support for Stones that could grow into a real media blitz. Takes very little with the British media. If I were to bet, Stones and Barkley will both be there...even if Woy doesn't have the 'stones' to play them.
between him and stones we have the best two talents in england, they are so good ts like they arent even english, they've clearly ignored all the pathetic coaching that goes on in this country, and are now being brought on by berto who is so not moyes its unreal
Osman's leadership there...I'm certain of it...the English Iniesta knows the score...
osman is soooo english its painful, the bad turk
Hahahaha...that Stones though...can't disagree with you at all...HE'S 20 FFS! We all get short memories with footy...but a 20 yr old taking the piss at CB like he's done. Can't remember another doing it so well.

The players are there for England to have a young team with some snr heads. Like Germany did some yrs ago.
......................Hart......................Walker.....Stones...Cahill...Shaw.............Wiltshire..Barkley...............Walcott.......Sterling.......Llanna......................Sturridge...............
Not saying I'd go with that exact team currently as 2-3 snr players still deserve there place but that's gota be the aim going forward instead of these tried and tested failures such as Lampard, Carrick, milners, Coles etc ...
