Tough day for American Footballers in England

For Carlos Bocanegra & of Fulham and Claudio Reyna & Demarcus Beasley of Manchester City, last night was one to forget.

In the Fulham match - a Carling Cup competition, Bocanegra was penalised for taking down an opposing player in the box resulting in a penalty. His side lost 1-0.

For Reyna, his struggles continue for Man City. His poor attempt at a clearance lead to a wicked volley of a game-winning goal, sending Man City home and out of the cup down 2-1. Demarcus Beasley was one of two subs not used.

Both of these losses were shocking as Man City and Fulham are both Premiership sides, while their competition hail from the lower leagues.
