World Cup 2010: Tom Jenkins at England v USA

Rustenburg is the venue, USA are the opponents, soccer is the game ... Err, football even ... Whatever you want to call it, tonight is England's turn to make their World Cup bow. What could possibly go wrong? Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk Fabio Capello stands on the touchline like a toy soldier ready for battle. Stuart Pearce opts for a Subbuteo stance Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk Only four minutes gone and England have the lead - Steven Gerrard cutting through the USA's defence and deftly flicking the ball past Tim Howard with the outside of his boot. The assist came from Emile Heskey (and he intended it) Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk Gerrard wheels off in delight ...

Going 1-0 up so soon probably wasn't in their plans Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk The USA's players seem slightly perplexed Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk England continue to worry their opponents, with Wayne Rooney turning inside Michael Bradley as Frank Lampard makes a run on the outside Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk James Milner surges forward before being substituted in the 30th minute following a booking Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk Gerrard leaps above Ricardo Clark to win a header Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk Tim Howard winces in pain after colliding with Heskey Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk Here's Heskey yet again ... he's proving to be quite an effective target man tonight Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk Dear oh dear, that is a shambles. Rob Green - a surprise choice as England's keeper tonight - has just tossed the ball into his own goal. Well, not quite tossed, but what should've been a routine save from Clint Dempsey's long-range effort has somehow ended up in the net Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk John Terry can't look at him. Green is about as stunned as everyone else. His hands were like blancmange Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk Dempsey signals to the heavens. Um, think you'll find it's 1-1, Clint, not 3-1 Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk Capello looks utterly miserable. All that planning and hard work squandered Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk Shaun Wright-Phillips bursts down the wing as England look to regain the lead Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk Glen Johnson comes back on having had a rather excessive patch put onto a bloodied lip Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk Ledley King wins a header, but eventually has to be substituted for Jamie Carragher as his knee injury flares up again Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk Rooney hits the turf. Not a great night for him Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk Heskey's pretty much tired himself out now Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk Peter Crouch comes on for Heskey, but can't find a breakthrough Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk England get a couple of second-half chances ... Wright-Phillips fails to work Tim Howard from a tight angle and Rooney struggles to connect with a header from a searching Gerrard cross Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk Gerrard is fouled by Robbie Findley as the match peters out Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk The USA seem thrilled with a draw Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk ... England less so. Rob Green is sure to get some stick tomorrow. Even a smart second-half save when he turned Jozy Altidore's shot onto the post won't make up for his earlier clanger. It's been a dispiriting night; Let's hope it isn't a costly one in the long run Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: guardian.co.uk
