England, USA Tie 1-1

Goal! Both England and the U.S. scored one goal each in their highly anticipated World Cup faceoff. In a group full of leaders (nine of the 23 players on the English team have been team captains at some point), England’s captain Steven Gerrard led his team to an early advance by scoring the first goal in Saturday’s World Cup game against the U.S. He’s shown remarkable humility, though—"I am the captain, but I am surrounded by other captains," Gerrard said. But a few minutes later, England's goalie let a U.S. kick slip by, resulting in a 1-1 game. Both teams held off any additional goals for the rest of the game.
