Group C: England, USA, Algeria, Slovenia

haha

 

alright guys, im gonna watch the game from my cousins house, won't get in to comment but hoping for a big England victory.

 

Cheers!

 

Actually, part of the U.S. has already done this. I know here in California, soccer has grown tremendously over the last decade while I played and there are tons of high club level competition here. It's the other part of the U.S. that is sort of behind right now, mainly the midwest if you ask me. The United States aren't getting any real talent from anywhere but West Coast, East Coast, and Texas. Just those parts of the U.S. have different culture and aren't really open to soccer out on their ranches lol

 

USA could be too bit to get good at football...

Ronan, Jack Wilshere has looked really promising so far. I'm sure he has a wonderful future ahead of him. I'm not sure if Wenger will play him much this upcoming season, but if not he should be loaned out again. He needs to progress.

 

I hope he loans him out again this season for more experience. If Wenger doesn't get another midfielder he might get a little bit of playing time.

 

Getting confident now. England 3-1 Algeria -- Rooney and Lampard, and an own-goal on both ends.

 

Under an hour...
