Who will win the World Cup?

Silly Germans. Red card looked harsh but they missed a penalty.


Apparently James is going to be replacing Green tonight. Good old Jamo.

When's the next match then? Do England play against Algeria tonight & Slovenia on the 23rd?

I heard that England can't lose/draw, this right?

Cheers guys.

Pretty much, they have to win this game to have any chance of going through to the last 16.

But with a stroke of luck, Slovenia are beating USA at the moment 20 mins gone 1-0 to Slovenia

Do we want Slovenia to win? The won their first game so will pretty much be through if they beat the US. Which leaves one space up for grabs and if we don't get a win against Algeria it could be a bit touch and go.

If we lose and the USA lose then it's all still to play for. Slovenia would be going through already though.

In the more likely scenario of a draw tonight against Algeria, England would then be second and all they would have to do is beat Slovenia and wouldn't have to rely on other results if the score in the USA game stays the same.

If the scores stay the same and England win, then England would only need a draw against Slovenia to go through, but they would be second, so to get top spot they would need to beat Slovenia.

It get's very complicated though, cause Germany lost to Serbia today, if Ghana win against Australia tomorrow then suddenly it all gets very interesting. Maybe coming second in our group could be beneficial as we could avoid Germany at this early stage.

Basic consensus - If England win today and next Wednesday everything will be a lot better. But a draw and even a loss would not be the end of the tournament, far from it in fact, especially if the USA lose.

Looks like Slovenia have got their game won.

I thought they were going to turn up and just let the other teams increase their goal tallys.

Well 2-0 down the USA are.

England win tonight and all they need is a draw against Slovenia. This has notched up the tension for tonight a little bit.

Someone made an interesting comment on the BBC Sport website. They said that a Slovenia win would be best as then they would qualify and thus would likely field an understrength team against England.

They could have a point there.

Isn't hoping for 'understrength' teams the opposite of what the World Cup (or any sporting tournament) is for?

The best teams/team should win, not the one who've had an easy ride.

2 - 2

USA - Slovenia.


[edit] USA just scored a third but it didn't count.

Tense or what.

[Bishbash]

Edited to remove what was (on reflection) a potentially libellous comment about David James.

Nothing to see here, move along.....
