Rivals show support to Green

Robert Green took full responsibility for his mistake that gifted the United States their goal in their 1-1 draw with England on Saturday, but said he would bounce back immediately and not dwell on the error.
He was given huge moral support straight after the Group C game at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium by one of his American opponents who also happens to be one of his best friends -- his West Ham United club mate, Jonathan Spector.
"I felt for him," said Spector. "My heart went out to him."
Green told reporters: "I saw the ball coming, thought I had it covered, but missed it."
"I saw it all the way, it was my mistake, no one else's but what can I do?" he said.
"If I was younger it really might affect me very badly, but all you can do is turn round and pick the ball out of the back of the net and get on with it.
"You don't want to make another mistake like that in the next match -- if I am selected. I don't often get things as wrong as that.
"You have to keep strong and move on. It was my mistake I must live with it."
Spector told reporters: "I had mixed feelings. Obviously I felt ecstatic when the goal went in to take us back to 1-1, but devasted for him on a personal note.
