All England fans will remember this horrible moment ThreeLions
were expected to get three points on the board in their tournament opener, and it all started so well when Steven Gerrard put Fabio Capello’s men ahead in the fourth minute – but a howler from goalkeeper Robert Green meant they had to settle for a draw.
The ex-Premier League stopper allowed Clint Dempsey’s tame effort from 25 yards to slip through his grasp and it ultimately cost his place in the team. Images of Green hopelessly clawing at the ball as it crossed the line are among those used to capture England’s misfortune at major tournaments since 1966.
But with Gareth Southgate’s side restoring fresh hope to the nation by reaching a World Cup semi-final and European Championship final, we can all laugh about what happened 12 years ago. That’s certainly Green’s attitude as he prepares to be reminded about his mistake constantly for the next seven months before England face USA on November 25.He reacted instantly to the draw, simply tweeting out the eyes emoji, seemingly a self-deprecating nod to his error all those years ago.Betting Offer Of The Day
