The similarities in between Englands harmful detriment to Germany Sunday as well as the United Statess detriment to Ghana on Saturday are remarkable.

Here are ten similarities:

  • Both games featured incredible goalkeeping performances. Neuer for Germany. Kingson for Ghana.
  • In both games, the winning team utterly outplayed their opposition.
  • Both teams committed disastrous defensive mistakes.
  • Both Tim Howard as well as David James could have finished better to forestall one of the goals scored by Ghana as well as Germany respectively.
  • In both the United States as well as England games, the opposition displayed much better technical as well as ball-handling skills.
  • Both the United States as well as England are during the crossroads regarding the destiny of their youth growth systems.
  • Both coaches, Bob Bradley as well as Fabio Capello, made key tactical mistakes prior to each game. Bradley should have started Benny Feilhaber as well as Maurice Edu (and presumably Edson Buddle). Capello should have dropped Barry as well as Upson in favor of Joe Cole as well as Ledley King (and should have given Peter Crouch the chance).
  • Both England as well as the United States had to strike hideous refereeing decisions. The United States suffered from the lousy calls in dua! l initia l turn games. England suffered the terrible call opposite Germany when Frank Lampards idea was disallowed. The big disproportion is which the United States recovered from the adversity. England didnt.
  • Fans will call for both Bob Bradley as well as Fabio Capello to be fired. The sad actuality is which neither preference would improve the incident for England or the United States. The soccer deficiencies of both countries ran far deeper than that.
  • Both countries are nowhere near winning the World Cup trophy in the subsequent four to eight years.
  • Can we consider of any more similarities in between both games? If so, post them in the comments section below.
