The considerable English contingent braved hangovers, jet lags and sleep deprivation to support their boys in the World Cup this morning.With the US playing simultaneously on another screen, even the effects of a first night in Vegas couldn't keep the fans down, as the nerves jangled until the final kick.
There was jubiliation first at Jermaine Defoe's opener and further girlish screams as Rooney, Gerrard and Lampard all had chances to make it more comfortable - yet the celebrations at the final whistle were quickly muted by a late USA winner.
It meant England lost the Group C summit to their trans-atlantic cousins, leaving little sentiment for the 'special relationship' in the Palazzo Suite.
The result also means another early morning on Sunday for the English, giving the US soccer team even less fans than on the gaming floor downstairs! ;-)
