2010 FIFA World Cup, Group C: Keeper Blunder Enables Team USA To Gain 1-1 Draw With England

Group C play in the FIFA World Cup commenced with one game Saturday in South Africa.

At Rustenburg:



In, perhaps, the most anticipated match of the group stage of this tournament, the United States and England battled to a 1-1 deadlock.  Steven Gerrard scored for the Three Lions in the 4th minute.  But Clint Dempsey (that's him, celebrating above) , thanks to a big-time blunder by goalkeeper Robert Green (also shown, below), scored the equalizer in the 40th minute.
