Who should start in goal for England vs. Algeria?

[AB Editor]

After Rob Green let in a howler on Saturday night, do you think his starting place should be given to David James or Joe Hart?

 

Or would it be better for the team on a whole if Capello was to show confidence in the West Ham man?

 

Discuss!

James Corden............he'll fill it.

TOO ROUND ? - it's soccer, it should be round. Now rugby, that's a game I will watch.

He messed up but i say, let it go now. As a nation we are wrong to keep harping on until the pressure gets to him.

Maybe if the strikers had done their job the slip up wouldn't have mattered so much! Everyone screws up.

Put all three in goal and we may stand a chance

oh yeah it was a howler all right.......If Carlsberg did World Cup goals....

This guy has been slated like crazy, it's ridiculous. He let the ball slip by him, SO WHAT! Goalkeepers don't always save sometimes the ball goes by them. England have played ONE match and because America equalised, the blame had to be placed on someone so why not blame the poor Goalie who is under enough bloody pressure as is! Give the guy a chance for fudge sake!

Rob Green for me. Been pretty consistent throughout his England career so far...

Joe Hart is a promising keeper but needs more games at international level.

David James fit enough nowadays as a "back-up".

The fact is, that we don't have an English "World Class" goalkeeper. For many years we did (Banks, Shilton, Clemence, Seaman). Joe Hart may get there, and I reckon there's more to come from Ben Foster.

Keepers are struggling in all the WC matches so far. Puts Green's error into some perspective....

awwwww.....poor man. Is it just me (as a woman) or did you want to give him a hug? I felt really sad for him.
