Will Rob Green be in goals come Friday?

Will Rob Green be in goals come Friday?

What were everyone’s expectations before the match kicked off on Saturday evening? The optimists were expecting a resounding win, the pessimists a loss and the realists were hanging-out for a draw or at best, a very narrow England win.
England has, without a doubt, one of the best squads in the World Cup, only Spain, Brazil and Argentina blatantly have a stronger group of players. Gerrard, Lampard and Rooney can easily be mentioned in the same breath as Xavi, Kaka and Messi, but it’s the rest of the squad that soon falters.  Where Spain has Torres, Fabregas, Alonso and Villa, we have Heskey, Crouch and an outstanding but constantly injured centre-back, in King.
And this brings me nicely to our goal-keeping debacle. We haven't had a standout goalkeeper since David Seaman. James has been in good form, but is partial to the odd mistake. Hart hasn't had enough experience yet to step up to the plate and after Green's howler of a mistake on Saturday, I don't think he has the mental capacity to get it out of his head before the next game on Friday.
Compare this to Spain's situation (I know I keep bringing up our Mediterranean friends, but you can't ignore them at this World Cup) and they have three of the best goalkeepers in the tournament with Reina, Casillas and Valdes. What a situation to be in! Imagine having some of the best goalkeepers, best strikers and best midfielders in the world, all playing for the same country.
I’m not saying England can't win the World Cup, its the best squad we've had for maybe 20 years, but to win then they must get some luck, as we will no doubt run into the Argies, the Spanish or the Brazilians at some point in the tournament, and there's not much our boys can do without a little bit of luck.
Will Green be there to see us through to the final though? Thankfully that’s not my decision!

Faceparty vs Bongal

As a concept bongal grew from looking at sites like Faceparty and Bebo etc and realising that there was something missing. People are chatting away on these sites with random strangers which is fine. But there is so much wasted time realising that a large number of people who you chat to don't share any of your hobbies or interests. After doing some research into what actually makes for an interesting conversation, the team at bongal realised that it is chatting about interests. That is what we all do every day in the real world, whether it be with friends or family. Reading the paper, watching the news, its all stuff we are interested in.

That is where the next step came in the evolution of bongal.com. The focus on interests. We asked ourselves, what is the best way to connect people based on their interests? Then it came to us. We could use groups like so many other sites do so badly, bongal would do well. A group is after all an "interest group".

In bongal there are thousands of groups already connecting users. You join a group related to your interests, start or get involved with a discussion, then from there the connections can start. You will meet some really interesting people as well as catching up with all the things that interest you.

By doing this bongal takes a giant leap away from Faceparty and alike and moves into its own niche. No other site connects people in this unique way. This is what makes the whole bongal experience so exciting. What could be more entertaining than catching up with all the news and gossip that interests you while at the same time meeting new and exciting people who actually interest you and want to talk to you about your shared interests.

Bongal is free to join and already has 10s of thousands of members connecting every day. It really is worth a look but make sure you join a few groups to get the bongal gears in motion.
