You have to feel at least a little bit sorry for Robert Green. No one, especially him, will ever forget his blunder for England against the United States in the 2010 World Cup when Clint Dempsey’s shot went straight to Green, but the England goalkeeper fumbled the save and the ball found its way into the back of the net.
Watch the above video to see Robert Green’s goalkeeper blunder in slow motion.
The sad thing for Robert Green is that the likelihood of him playing another game for England, let alone in this World Cup, is practically nil.

You cant really blame the guy for losing the match but the mistake is all his.

Honestly, I believe that any goal is the mistake of someone on the other side not doing their job right. In this case it was obvious but even England’s goal was a breakdown in USA’s defense by at least one player (and probably more). I know we’re going to hear endless analysis about how it “should have been 1-0 England.” I’m saying right now that’s bull because had Dempsey’s shot not gone in the US would have played differently and a different sort of goal might have become possible due to the US playing a 1-0 game after that point. We’ll never know that scenario but what we do know is that every team screws up now and then and sometimes it results in a goal for the other side.
Please tell Green not to touch the stick of Butter and rubbing it with his keeper gloves. That way England can get three points the next time they face the USA in the World Cup…………If there really is a next time.
wow
I disagree with the people who have criticized the English goalkeeper Robert Geen. I think that many people have to understand that many mistakes can happen in an unexpected way in a worldcup , but the players have to know how to replace about mistakes , football is nothing more balls and play catch, is also about how will be your attitude towards the game after this error. I believe that English goalkeeper had to have given another chance to play, but if I think that He will have it.
