The A-Team and Team USA

Finally went to see The A-Team on Sunday night. It was really good. Essentially another reboot of the franchise and it was really good in telling how the A-Team came to be. A non-stop action packed popcorn movie. Directed by Joe Carnahan, who previously directed Narc. Also starred Sharlto Copley, who was the star of surprise hit, District 9. It was pretty funny as sometimes Sharlto would slip into his South African accent, but you're not sure if it's part of the script or not because he is playing crazy Murdock.
Early on Sunday morning I watched my first match of World Cup Soccer. England was playing the USA. Was impressed by the resilience of the US team. After being rolled by Stevie G in the first four minutes, they maintained their composure and really took it to an All Star England team. They were rewarded for their pressure with an equalizer. The draw is a victory for the US. England on the other hand pretty much lost two points. Their goalkeeper, Robert Green, was criticized for missing an easy save, but England started slow and didn't convert their chances. England did play a lot better in the second half, but a few of their stars went missing.
