US Beats Algeria: US 5 points
England Beats Slovenia: England has 7, Slovenia has 4
US and England Advance.
as US fans, I think we should expect England to win today and tie Slovenia...with US beating algeria
England 5
US 5
Slovenia 5
what happens?
Goal difference, then if that doesn't help goals scored, then if that doesn't seperate them look at the results between England/US/Slovenia, and on and on it goes ... until the dreaded drawing of lots :twisted:
So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

It'll goes to goal differential ... so, the two teams that beat Algeria the by the most goals, advance.
Then it goes to goals scored.
Yeah. I believe if it comes down to two teams and they are vying for second in a group it's who won the game between them. If it was a draw. Goal difference
So, while today has been a crazy day (Germany lost while I was sleeping, wow) .... let's not get too crazy, there is no way England isn't kicking the shit out of Algeria.

Agreed, so we need england to kick the shit out of Algeria and Slovenia, we beat Algeria and we are all good.

as US fans, I think we should expect England to win today and tie Slovenia...with US beating algeria
Lets hope that England finally plays up to their potential for once and wins these next two games.
I would also think England wants to win both and make sure they win the group.
Although now there is a possibility Germany may come 2nd in their group we may not want to top our group :?
Zee German bubble bust tonight. Australia just played really bad in the first game. Zee Germans ain't so hot. Argentina have been the stand out. I'll reserve my opinion of Brazil and England until after the group stage

why would england winning this afternoon help the US team? don't we want england to need the game vs slovenia?
If England wins the next two games, they get 7 points and win group. And we beat Algeria, we would have 5 points and advance as well. Slovenia would only have 4.

if england loses or ties today, then beats slovenia, they have a max of 5 points. and the US could conceivably still win the group.
I don't see how pulling for england today makes any sense (as a US fan)
edit...if anything, england winning today gives them less motivation to beat slovenia
edit...if anything, england winning today gives them less motivation to beat slovenia
I don't think England would want to end up in a spot where 3 teams may all have 5 points and goal differntial comes into play.
of course not. but if they win today they pretty much know they're advancing. they can play for a tie in their last game. that's not what I want as someone hoping the US advances (because then slovenia would have 5 points if they tie england).
just saying...as US fans we gotta root for algeria this afternoon

We can root all we want. I predict a 3 goal victory for England. No way Algeria wins.

I like our chances. Now say they tie this afternoon. England 2, Algeria 1, US 2, Slovenia 4
US beats Algeria and they are through.

2-2 bud. By the way you got totally robbed of a third goal in the dying minutes. Not just soccer robbed but really robbed!!!
