England's Rooney is the most overrated high profile player in the tournament.
He's no Mesi, Kaka, C. Ronaldo...that's for sure.
The USA was ROBBED BIG TIME...what a bunch of bull****!!!
The USA can still advance to the second round...
It wont take much of a miracle - Lets assume England beats Algeria. That leaves Slovenia and England with 4 points and the US with 2.
The US will have to beat Algeria in the last match.
If Slovenia and England draws that would put all teams equal on points, and it would be down to goal difference. In this scenario the US would have to beat Algeria by 2 to be one goal better than Slovenia.
If Slovenia or England wins, the loser finishes 3rd.
Bloody hell...I hate when the referees take away the game from players.
People pay to see the players...not the referees...just like trigger happy ref who handed out yellow and red cards like crazy in the Germany/Serbia game...disgusting.
If the U.S. wins, they're in...simple as that.
If they tie and England/Slovenia tie, that puts Slovenia in, and possibly U.S. in on goals scored +2 over England right now. Also, U.S. advances with a tie and English loss.
If the U.S. loses, then they are out...if I have my math right. Algeria will have 3, Slovenia already has 4, and the U.S. will have 2 which automatically bumps them.
The best scenario right now is that U.S. wins big and England wins but not by much. That puts U.S. through as 1st seed and England in as 2nd.

It was a day of records today. Portugal scores the most goals in a match (7), Chile-Switzerland took the most yellow and red cards (10) and Switzerlan beat the record for keeping their nets clean for the longest time in the World Cup... and 3 minutes later Chile scores a goal
