Maradona's goal, Stuart Pearce's 10 ft high blast on the PK in 1990, Beckham's red card etc...if they somehow don't get out of the group stage or have any sort of goaltending issue (with Green or James) from here on in it will still be blamed on Green's miscue vs. the USA as the reason for Green is still shaky or for an unprepared James having to come in so suddenly.
