Match Stats
United States
The match is underway from RFK
Away we go in DC AND my link is to the England match!!!
http://livetvcafe.net/video/B52828O2BX4G/
I think Steve and Bobby are at RFK.
The Maracana looks new
I know that they are
I was wondering where they were in the stadium
Jozy wins a corner off of Metrte
The corner from Zusi is headed away
Another U.S. corner
Showing Barnes goal
The Ox's dad is being interviewed as well as Barnes
Merte heads away and the U.S. maintain possession
Not sure where they are sitting .I hope Bob has that poster that my daughters requested
Well, the US has done much better than Ecuador!!!
Useless U.S. long throw
Agreed. The U.S also have done better than the U.S. did in Cleveland
The National Front was on the same plane as the England team. Some of their reporters said England only won one nil because they didn't count Barnes' goal
Jozy wins a free kick then he heads wide from a free kick from Zusi
The National Front are nothing more than sub human scum.
Couldn't have put it better
Klose got behind the U.S. defense and Zusi's ;ast ditch tackle resulted in a German corner.
Thanks,UWS.
Germany go very close!
Gunner, Merta, goes close
OH! Germany could have gone a goal up as Merte shot just wide from close range. Beasley was out muscled and could not clear
GOAL
ALTIDORE WITH A LOVELY GOAL!!
GOAL! jozy scores with a great volley
Great volley!
Teams are in the tunnel in Rio and ITV lose pictures!
They are back to the London studio
Great run by Clint who put Zusi down the right and his superb cross was superbly volleyed in by Jozy. His first goal in the Klinsmann era.
They have the pictures back
Brazil's first time playing in Rio since 08
Dragged wide by Fabian Johnson
STRUTH... TWO NIL!!!!!!!
AN OWN GOAL!!!!
GOAL!!! 2-00 U.S. COMICAL DEFENDING FROM THE GERMANS.
Brilliant goalkeeping!
LINE-UPS - Brazil v England (2000 BST)
Brazil: Julio Cesar, Dani Alves, Thiago Silva, Luiz, Marcelo, Paulinho, Fernando, Oscar, Lucas Moura, Neymar, Fred. Subs: Cassio, Gustavo, Ronaldinho, Ramires, Miranda, Leandro Damiao, Luis Fabiano.
England: Hart, Johnson, Jagielka, Cahill, Baines, Jones, Carrick, Lampard, Walcott, Rooney, Milner. Subs: Foster, Cole, Lescott, Rodwell, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Defoe, McCarthy.
Referee: Wilmar Roldan Perez (Colombia)
England wearing Red today
US survive!!
It all stemmed from a goal kick. An innocuous back pass from Reinhart and Ter Steege completely missed or got a slight touch. Will he or Reinahart be credited with the OG.
Schurrle with a superb solo run and shoots inches wide. According to Ian he's on his way to Chelsea.
Better from Ter Steegen as Jozy put Clint through and the keeper saved superbly
Taken short by the U.S.They maintain possession.
The U.S. must play like this in their World Cup qualifiers.
I complain about FSC with commercial... ITV go to commercial right after the national anthem
Jozy tries a chip from the halfway line and it's well over after a superb tackle from Clint
Agreed!
We are underway but my picture is still!
That is a surprise. Surprisingly poor by ITV.
Klose has a goal disallowed for offside.
Not since England's victory in 84 has any of 39 European teams have beaten Brazil on Brazilian soil
Nice throuh ball but well offside.
That must make Brazil favorites next summer.
Finally got picture
Hasn't lost to any country since 02
Rep of ire beat Georgia 4-0
Volleyed wide by Neymar . Great footie from the Brazis
I saw that. Georgia's keeper was sent off in the 20th minute. All four goals scored against ten men
Bayern became the first German team to win the treble. did so with Gustavo or Dante. Were three up and held on to win 3-2 vs Stuttgart
Don't like this ball
Is is Orange and black?
England look second best
It was on ESPN yesterday. I turned it on at 3-0 and saw the comeback...they almost tied it up
It's and orange ball. Not sure why. It doesnt snow in Rio.
I missed it because I was doing household chores. Poor form on my part?
My video is very jumpy
Free kick chance for Neymar...easy for Hart
The free kick from Neymar skims off of Phil Jones's head and straight to Hart.
The German Cup Final seemed like a great match
Poor foul by Milner on Alves just outside the box.
Poor free kick from Neymar and boos from the home fans.
I got the match from RFK on the telly and the match from Rio on the ITV link
Beaseley wins a corner.
Taken short again and out for a throw.
Thunderstorms... hope I don't lose power!
Changed my link to First Row
Useless by Theo
GET INVOLVED
Chris Hutchinson: What a rancid ball. Orange balls should only be used in snow.
Paul Denny: What is the crack with this football? It is doing my crust in. I can't see it properly!
That's the link I'm on. Here's hoping you don't lose any power.
Just wide by Danny Alves.
Theo keeps the ball too long
I agree. The orange ball is comical
2016:
Brazil 0-0 England
This orange/pink/yellow ball seems to be zipping off the surface tonight. Perhaps it's a 99p flyaway from the local petrol station?
I agree.
Great save by Hart... terrible by Johnson
Great save by Hart after a slip by Glen Johnson.
A U.S. corner is headed away
Oscar wins a corner off of Baines.
Gostavo heads on the corner and The Thiago Silva shoots straight at Hart
Brazil haven't dominated England
BOOM BOOM. Nice on about the 99 p ball.
Neymar goes close with a decent effort
Curled wide by Neymar.
I stole it
I think Brazil have been the better team and England have created nought . They look clueless.
Nice smash and grab job!
South Africa beat Lesotho 2-0
Did they have them surrounded!!!
Half time
Well done US
Come on England... starting attacking more
Halftime and 2-0 at RFK. Jozy with his first goal from open play in the Klinnsman era and a comical OG for the second
I don't want Brazil England be United v Wigan
Bobby and Steve must be roasting at RFK. They must be having a great time.
Nice cross from Oscar across the six yard box and nobody was there to connect
England survive and get a corner
England win their first corner of the match
Fred heads away the corner from Lampard. Fred is the name of my cat
Well done Hart again
He is doing well
Bob said he was thinking of wearing his Blue Devil costume to the match at RFK. Steve said he would be tasered if he did that
Great double save from Hart. The corner headed away by Lampard and Danny Alves shoots straight at Hart
Useless pass from Theo.
Neymar is like Defoe!!!
Cashley on for Baines
Baines has to go off
Cashley replaces him for his 103rd cap... first as sub
except he's more of a Big Time Charlie
Looks like we might get some rain too.
Come on England... play better than this!!
You're not a minnow playing against a giant!
Just heard some thunder. It's been ridiculously hot since Wednesday
But they are playing like it
Not here too... cold front just coming thru to cool it down for the work week!
High and wide by the Big Green superhero
I was in favor of Woy taking over but is he playing like WBA against a top four club!
Please send that front our way.we could really use it.
Come on Wazza... find the final pass!!!
Roon has a shot blocked by the Side Show.
I agree. Woy doesn't seem up to the England job.
No foul given by the Colombian ref... was it a pen?
Great save by Hart after Lampard seemde to foul his Chelsea teammate ,Oscar, in the box.
Just wide by Brazil
Lamps tackle was a good one
Just wide by the Big Green man off a cross from Oscar . The foul was just outside the box, but was a foul
England should not play to hang on... Roon has to take those chances of the break... BUGS ME
It was Hulk. I'm calling him the Big Green Man
ONE MAN in the attacking half!!!
PATHETIC
I agree. England are basically hanging on.
With no intention or conviction to attack the opponents!
It looks like a beach ball purchased in a t-shirt shop in Rio.
well stated, UWS.
England should have the United outlook
Go out to WIN every game!!
Theo with a decent effort.. could he have passed it
Theo was a plonker as he took too long to shoot and shot right at Julio Cesar. Great pass from Glen Johnson.
United would have given Brazil a tougher time.
Headed over by Fred,my cat, off a great cross from Oscar./ My cat should have scored.
The second half is underway from RFK with Germany making several changes.
GET INVOLVED
Joe Blackmore: One good game and everyone starts loving Joe Hart again. He's mistake prone and average at best especially in an England shirt.
Henry Nicholson: Brazil are better than England. But they don't look capable of challenging for the World Cup.
Thomson Mathew: Speaks volumes when the opposition's right back is more skilled than your attackers!
Headed over by Howedes off a corner.
I* agree with Joe and Thomson, but not Henry. I think Brazil have a shot at winning the world Cup next summer. You can't read too much into friendlies.
Why be in awe of Brazil
These guys play against this caliber all season long in the Prem on CL!
Clint down for the U.S.
England look clueless going forward
I agree.Blame it on WOY or Blame it on Rio? Ask Michael Caine!
Really cluesless/ One minute of stoppage time./
Half time
Nil nil
Not good enough for me
Halftime and 0-0 from Rio.
I agree.
GOAL
Classic goal from a corner from the Germans
GOAL ! WESTERMANN HEADS FROM A CORNER FOR GERMANY. YET ANOTHER DEFENSIVE ERROR FROM OMAR GONZALEZ.
Former England right-back Danny Mills, BBC Radio 5 live
Brazil 0-0 England
"The players are doing their best but they are simply not up to the standard of Brazil. Roy Hodgson can't coach these players and make them better overnight. They have been in awe."
WHY would Danny Mills say this
THEY ALL PLAY IN THE 'BEST LEAGUE" IN THE WORLD FOR THE TOP TEAMS!!
WHY BE IN AWE??
Great run by Beasely but straight at the keeper.
I agree, UWS. It's Woy. I disagree with Danny Mills.
The U.S. look better than England. That's really sad.
Headed well wide by Klose.
Eddie Johnson on for Zusi. A striker on for a left back.
Edgar Castillo on for Beaseley
Aogo has a cross deflected for a German corner. He has been a threat down the left for Germany
The corner from Traxler is headed away and the U.S. break
Brad Davis wins a corner.
The U.S. maintain possession off the corner.
GOAL!!
DEMPSEY WITH A CLINICAL FINISH
GOAL !!! 31- U.S. GREAT FINISH FROM CLINT AS JOZY DID WELL TO CONTROL A LONG BALL AND LAID IT ON A PLATE FOR CLINT
A goal and an assist for Jozy. That;s more like it . Jurgen will be pleased.
GET INVOLVED
Thayyab in Leamington via text: People wax lyrical about Joe Hart but him constantly lumping it long is a central reason we keep losing possession.
Tiral in London: Genuinely depressing.
John in Belfast: Think Brazil are just average tonight. If they were playing one of the European great teams like Spain or Germany or Belgium they would probably lose. England are just what they are. Can't pass, can't hold on to the ball and just very average.
Tahyayab forgot about the constant drops by Hart. He's a mistake waiting to happen. I think Brazil will be a great team by Next summer.
DEMPSEY AGAIN!!!!!!
GOAL !!! 4-1 U.S. GREAT FINSH BY CLINT.
Nice shot
ITV still waiting for pictures
great possession by the U.S. and a lack of pressure from the Germans.JJ with the assist. WUNDERBAR!
I have an interview with woy Keane and Gareth Southgate
Poor defending by Poldi on the goal. what will Steve have to say about that?
Lampard and big Phil with a cuddle,.
Lamps and Scolari giving each other a hug.. isn't that special
The second half is underway from Rio.
Poor free kick from Brad Davis headed away
Two Brazi changes at the half.
what do they say about Joe Hart and Theo?
Great mimes think alike!
Rio is an hour ahead of the US East coast
Thiago Silva concedes and England corner .Roon with a stupid fol on the QPR keeper off the corner.
I don't like Theo at all
Hart is the best we have!
Correct UWS. That works well for us. Only two hours ahead of Texas. The World Cup and Confeds Cup matches should be at convenient times./
Agreed, but Hart is still a clown.
How can an England squad not have much on the bench... IT IS ENGLAND!!!
Bring players from Southampton, Norwich or others
Theo goes backwards... and then lose possession... atrocious
Poor england attack,
RUBBISH AGAIN.. I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE
The U.S playing better than England. A great outing for Bobby and steve.
GOAL !!! NICE FINISH FROM mAX kRUSE AS GERMANY TRAIL BY THE SAME SCORE AS IN THE 1966 WORLD cUP fINAL
Nicolai Muller on for Klose and Brazi fans boo as they do not want Oscar replaced.
GOAL !!!! FRED GIVES BRAZIL THE LEAD AFTER A SHOT CAME OFF THE BAR
GOAL for BRAZIL
Hart saves but the rebound was buried
NOW IS FOUR THREE IN DC!
