Rob Green mocks famous World Cup mistake as England draw the USA

Former England goalkeeper Rob Green mocked his famous 2010 World Cup blunder after the Three Lions drew the United States in the group stage of this year's tournament.

In Friday's draw, it was discovered that England will play the USA, Iran and one of Wales, Scotland or Ukraine in Qatar this winter.

It will be the first time that England and USA have met competitively since Green let Clint Dempsey's 25-yard strike squirm into the back of the net through his palms.

After the draw for the 2022 World Cup was announced, memories instantly went back to the 1-1 draw in South Africa for many England fans.

There was no surprise that this was the same for Green who immediately took to social media and posted a pair of eyes emoji in obvious reference to his mistake 12 years ago.  

One follower responded: 'Fair play, at least you can laugh about it now,' while another joked: 'I get flashbacks of that day Rob. Let's hope Ramsdale/Pickford don't do the same.'

Green made no excuses about his mistake as he said after the 2010 stalemate: 'I walked in at half-time and said sorry to the chaps and I apologise to however many million people at home as well.
