Losing draw

The sun will rise, the seasons will change, England will beat the USA at football. Some things in this world are right and proper and can be taken for granted.

Unfortunately someone forgot to tell the England team this, specifically our keeper. After a dream start with a goal on four minutes, our first game of World Cup 2010 became exactly the sort of match that Americans criticise the sport for. Then came that goal.

I guess we had a good time in a nice bar with tasty beer and food, but after that happens and you realise you're the only England supporters there...it puts a damper on your day. No matter - all World Cup Champions start slowly, right? But did it have to be against this team?!



Ah, the youthful hope of the innocent. So quickly and cruelly dashed.


Patriots standing together for the national anthem.



The closest Gen will ever get to attending a football match.



Woo hoo! We scored!! Take that USA!



Later, in mourning.
