US and England tie in World Cup Matchup

The United States and England finished their World Cup match in a 1-1 tie, much to the joy of the US and its fans.  The English team were heavy favorites going into the matchup and rightly so, however, thanks to a save blunder by England goalkeeper Robert Green on a Clint Dempsey kick.  England captain Steven Gerrard scored the game’s first and England’s only goal early in the match, and despite some heavy pressure at times, the US and goalie Tim Howard staved off anymore goals.  England’s star and Manchester United member, Wayne Rooney was quiet throughout the match.  The United States plays Slovenia next in their Group C matchup on June 18th.  England plays Algeria the same day to give a clearer picture as to whom will advance from the group.
