Genie Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I think its arrogance and to be fair, if England had a bit more self belief they'd be a much stronger force. Sadly they seem to out onto the pitch like rabbits in the headlights every match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainer Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 David James, such a pro. His press conference on Sky Sports was brilliant. Had to laugh when he was asked if he had been practicing penalties.. To which he replied, not saving them, as if we save them all it doesnt give the outfield players much confidence. Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwpzxjor1 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Haha. Gotta love David James at times. Except when he **** up, which he inevitably will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claret75 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 So whose going to take the penalties tomorrow? My 5 in order of prefernce would be: Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney, Barry and probably Milner, although i worry about Milner being under this sort of pressure. He's never had to deal with anything anywhere near as big as this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Penalties: Milner, Barry, Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney. To be fair, I'd feel comfortable in A.Cole, G.Johnson, J.Terry even to step up and score. However on the day...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted June 26, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted June 26, 2010 USA games' TV ratings up 68% from 2006 U.S. television ratings for the first three 2010 FIFA World Cup games played by the American soccer team are up by 68% from four years ago, according to data from Nielsen Media Research. The USA team's matches against England, Slovenia and Algeria have averaged 11.1 million viewers on ABC, ESPN and Univision, Nielsen said, compared with the average of 6.6 million viewers that watched the 2006 squad's games with the Czech Republic, Italy and Ghana. ABC and ESPN are owned by Walt Disney Co. Privately held Univision is controlled by a consortium that includes Thomas H. Lee Partners, Madison Dearborn Partners, Providence Equity Partners, Texas Pacific Group and Saban Capital Group. The first USA World Cup game of the year, a 1-1 tie with England on June 12, remains the most-watched of the three games, with 17.1 million viewers. Against Algeria on Wednesday, the USA team won 1-0 on a dramatic injury-time goal by Landon Donovan. That match drew 8.6 million viewers. "The numbers [from these three games] are even more impressive when you consider that two of these games were played on weekday mornings, when many viewers are at work," said Stephen Master, vice president of Sports at Nielsen. "Although more people than ever chose to watch live, streaming video of the games from their computers and mobile devices, TV viewing climbed even higher." The spike in World Cup viewership comes at a time of improving ratings for big live-event programming in general. NBC saw saw powerful ratings for its Winter Olympics telecasts in February. Earlier in that month, the CBS broadcast of Super Bowl XLIV became the most-watched television program of all time, and audiences for the Golden Globe Awards and the Emmy Awards were higher on a year-over-year basis. In 1994, when Nielsen first measured World Cup viewing, the average per-game audience was 7.53 million viewers. That sample did not include Univision, which did not become part of the Nielsen sample until 2005. The 1994 final, Brazil vs. Italy, was seen by 14.5 million U.S. viewers.

claret75 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I honestly don't think Milner is the sort to feel pressure` I hope your right, but even the best players can't handle this level of pressure. I agree that Milner hasn't let anything get to him yet, but a penalty against the Germans in the last 16 is a lot more pressure than he's ever felt before. That said, i'd still back him and have him in the first 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
