They are referring to Lalas’ goal which had blessed USA with victory over England some 17 years ago. Lalas, in his recent interview, said that new USA team was more capable of reviving that history and they are in a better position to make first up-set as compared to old team. USA has a strong defense and they are playing with players like Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey. It would be better for USA if they play an aggressive game rather than a defensive.
But if you say that by mere recalling your glorious history, you can win this match then you are on fault as Fabio Capello’s team is hot favorite for this tournament and it is not an easy job to defeat a side which has players like Steve Gerard and Ronnie. Capello was appointed England’s manager in 2007 when former manager Steve McClaren left this place. During these three years, Capello worked very hard with this team. Now after having so much practice on field, England is considered as favorite for winning the tournament along with Spain and Argentina.
