Devil's Advocate Time
If, and I mean if hell freezes over and a white guy wins a dunk contest in the NBA, England loses, is that a good thing for the US or is it bad?
Pro:
- England basically eliminated
- Only have to beat Algeria to advance
Con:
- Gives confidence to Algeria to advance
- Home-field advantage to Algeria
Thoughts?
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
The BEST case scenerio for USA is for this game to end 0-0, and then
Slovenia 4pts, +1GD (1st tie breaker), 3 GS (2nd tie breaker)
USA 2pts, 0GD, 3GS
England 2pts, 0GD, 1GS
Algeria, 1pt, -1GD, 0GS
if that were too happen, just a 1-0 win over Algeria would get USA into the 2nd round. They would have 5pts, +1, 4GS at worst, and no scenario in the England/Slovenia would keep them from advancing.
HELL YEAH!
THINGS ARE LOOKING OK FOR THE U.S.A. TEAM!!!

The game was scoreless, but certainly was not snore-less.

The US can advance even with a tie. They will have to root for England to either lose or tie with the same amount (or with 1 more) of goals.
Example: US 0-0 Algeria
They're in if: England 0-0 or 1-1 Slovenia. If it's 2-2, US is out due to number of goals suffered.

Same. Algeria are no pushovers though, could be a tricky game.

England 2 - 2 Slovenia
USA 0 -0 Algeria
This results in lots being drawn to decide who joins Slovenia in knock-out stage

"Nice to see your home fans booing you"
-Wayne Rooney talking to the camera as he left the field.
I don't know what he expects. Back-to-back pathetic performances.

If I'd paid serious £££s to watch that rubbish I'd have every right to boo, Rooney was terrible (again!). England looked mentally beaten before half time.

England got a great result...for us. still bitter about Edu's goal not counting,that would take some of the worry out of the Algeria game, but its awesome that we control our destiny. we can't let in those soft goals to start it out though...
Did Algeria play well today or did England play like s**t? I have to say its a combination. Frankly, I like our chances against Algeria a lot. Even if they play as good as they did today, we are a much better team than England right now.
