Question Was Yesterday's Screw Up Seaman's Last?

I don't think I have to explain what I am talking about. As a USMNT fan goalkeeping is a highlight of our games. Keller and Friedel would have NEVER let this kind of goal in IMHO.

I want to know what the England Fans think about this latest goalkeeping debacle???

Never say never....
It could happen...
Seaman has always been solid in goal..
It can happen to any keeper IMHO..

Seaman is now about 40 years old..
time for retirement methinks..

The US and England should work out a trade...we can spare a GK, and you guys can give us one of your superfluous center backs. Pope needs a partner.

David Seaman is a joke, he always has, at least since I been watching him this past few years, he isn't bad, but please as England number one ?...I do not know what the coaching and fans saw in him, can't be his magical golkeeping, maybe it is his girlish looks , sure must be that ponytail, just a constant turn on to those watching

At this level, you can't allow for goals like this often. He's done it with Arsenal this season, he let it happen with Ronaldihno this summer. Sven should've given him a nice warm-fuzzy swan song in a friendly & brought in some fresh blood before the Euro 2004 qualifiers.

Helping you out here. This works much better as a poem.

I've have always thought of Seaman as a good goaltender because of he has always been on winning teams, and I liked him because of his outrageous looks, but after letting in that Ronaldinho free kick and now this, with shakey goaltending in between, it's time for him to retire and spare himself any further embaressment. He has had a great career, there is no need for him to be remembered for his mistakes, but if he keeps playing he will be.

I never seen the guy hold a shut out,In fact one match he gave up the lead 2 or 3 times from easy shots on goal.I have always wondered myself why is he always in the nat squad he isn't even really that good.If this Englands best then don't even bother thinking about the WC,Think about getting better goalkeepers.

didn;t you watch the world cup??
he had 3 clean sheets in the world cup against argentina ,denmark and nigeria..
He's been a good servant to the team.
He was a good keeper but now he is getting older and its time to step down.

I did watch the world cup but i didn't watch any of Englands games except against brazil which he did not get a clean sheet.I agree he "WAS" a good goalkeeper but not anymore at least not on a national level.I think England is a good national side but i think a new goalkeeper is a must.
