Green posted a pair-of-eyes emoji to reflect the way he watched Clint Dempsey's low 25-yarder squirm in off his palms for a shock equaliser.

One supporter said: "Fair play, at least you can laugh about it now."

And with Green now a pundit, another fan responded: "Agreed and he's the best GK analyst I've heard on any TV coverage."

"It was a mistake, a genuine, horrible mistake. Games go at 100mph and these things happen."
