Robert Green - sigh....

... if it is not David James dropping the ball or Paul Robinson fluffing clearances it is Robert Green dropping a ball shot straight at him!

Shame when English goalkeepers get it wrong they get it spectacularly wrong!

But in all fairness, one of the keepers was interviewed on TV the other day and he did warn that he thought there might be a few - and he said it "freak" goals - courtesty of the ball they have been using for the tournament.

I noticed it a bit in the Mexico game, the strikers were taking shots / crosses and almost trying to let the ball do the work and bobble around a bit. Khune at least proved up to the task.

Took a look at the betting this morning and England seemed to have slipped a bit after their perforance against the US while the Americans have actually shortened in the betting from 75/1 to 50/1. Interesting!

Will be interesting to see if there are any more "freak" goals in the next few fixtures.

Shame - being a goalkeeper you are on a hiding to nothing!
