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:

1. greatest number of points in all group matches
2. goal difference in all group matches
3. greatest number of goals scored in all group matches
4. greatest number of points in matches between tied teams
5. goal difference in matches between tied teams

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 after me typing it from memory ...Dimitris goes all official :ugeek: :P

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.

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

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

rival.

at work. watched what i can in our cafeteria.

that ref should never be allowed on a soccer field again.
