Serbia's 'White Eagles' faced off in the group D opening game today against Ghana's 'Black Stars.' Serbia, on paper, have a technically superior squad, and despite carving Ghana open on numerous occasions early on, were unable to exert their authority on the African team. Battling midfield performances from Kevin-Prince Boateng, Kwadwo Asamoah and Anthony Annan, […]

It wasn't the prettiest game by either team, but Saturday's clash between England and the United States reached fever pitch levels at sports bars and restaurants across the US and around the world. One such party was held in South Florida at Wowies Sports Grill, the host site for EPL Talk's official World Cup viewing […]

England fans have traditionally been guilty of the sin of not really looking. Reading the English press, there seems a general sense of shock about how their team performed in their first game yesterday. But to a neutral observer, the result, and England’s sorry, tired performance, was not really all that much of a […]

It finally came. It finally went. The United States versus England, and as if there was any way we would forget the result, Robert Green made sure to make Saturday's match an inadvertent classic. On this show, Laurence McKenna, Kartik Krishnaiyer and myself discuss the results of that match, Argentina's win over Nigeria, and South […]

The Sun newspaper is the type of tabloid filth that upsets people both in England and now, thanks to two condescending covers, people in the States. You may remember that back in December, The Sun newspaper ran a headline on its cover which declared "E-A-S-Y" in reaction to the news of the 2010 World Cup […]

Robert Green's blunder for England against the United States means that England coach Fabio Capello now faces the decision of whether to pick David James or Joe Hart for England's next game, against Algeria on Friday. But if you were Capello, who would you pick? David James has his strengths and weaknesses, but Joe Hart […]

A spirited draw by a resilient USMNT sees Bob Bradley's men stand up in the face of technically superior opposition and show the world and USA fans that they truly have earned their place in this summer's World Cup and that they can contend with the best of them. A dominating performance from perma-crocked center-half […]

Let's face it, England were quite poor in their opening game match of the 2010 World Cup with the United States, but I whole-heartedly believe that it's not all doom and gloom just yet and England fans have seen nothing near the best that will come from the Three Lions throughout the rest of this month long tournament. I'm […]

Imagine you're ITV, one of the biggest TV networks in the United Kingdom, and you have the rights to the live match between England and the United States. It's the biggest match of the World Cup thus far. And it's the added bonus of being in HD. As ITV, you begin showing the match but […]

Yes it was the re-match sixty years in the making. So much anticipation from both sides and from the supporters at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg and of course in all of the pubs in England and across the United States, the best from both countries finally meet up in this early clash. There […]

After what began as a brilliant start for England after Steven Gerrard scored the opener in three minutes, it looked as if it was going to be England's night. But the US battled back, were fortunate that Robert Green spilled the ball into the net. And the rest is history. At EPLTalk.com, we'll bring you […]

Twenty-one years ago the United States needed a late goal against Trinidad and Tobago to secure a spot at World Cup 1990 in Italy, today the United States withstood a punch in the mouth from one of world football's heavyweights and stood up to it. Following the worst possible start for the United States, going […]
