England, USA draw 1-1 in World Cup

England’s hopes of a winning start to their World Cup campaign were shattered by an extraordinary blunder by goalkeeper Robert Green that gifted the United States their equaliser in a 1-1 draw here on Saturday.

England captain Steven Gerrard gave his side a dream start to their Group C campaign with a fourth minute strike at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium.

But Fabio Capello’s men were sent back to square one when Green let in Clint Dempsey’s tame, 25-yard shot five minutes from half-time.
