How they advance
United States
• Win vs. Algeria
• Tie with Algeria, and Slovenia-England tie IF England does not outscore U.S. by 2-or-more goals
• Tie and England loss
England
• Win vs. Slovenia
• Tie AND U.S.-Algeria tie AND outscore U.S. by 3 goals
Slovenia
• Win/tie vs. England
• Loss AND U.S. tie vs. Algeria
• Loss AND Algeria win as long as Algeria doesn't make up tiebreakers
Algeria
• Win vs. U.S. AND Slovenia win/tie vs. England
• Win vs. USA AND Slovenia loss vs England AND make up tiebreakers on Slovenia
Notes
• Only way both U.S. and England advance is if both win
• If the U.S. draws with Algeria and England draws with Slovenia, and England scores exactly two more goals than the U.S., the U.S. and England would be even on all tiebreakers for second place. The tie would be broken by drawing lots.

I found it hilarious, I hopped in the car, to run to get something to eat, and have the radio on for like 6 seconds...Goal USA to tie it up, then another right after that, except the phantom call back....I shoulda tuned in all game I guess....

Wow nice, thanks for posting, makes sense now.
Win and we are in.
Tie and advance as long as England ties (but doesn't score more then 2 goals then US) or losses.
Lose, and we are out no matter what.
Simple.

They should be able to review shit like that. I never understood why they don't view controversial shit like that, and also penalties. They spend more time arguing and surrounding the ref to bitch than they would to just view the replay.

yup, the amount of time they spend dealing with players arguing the call, would prob be the amount of time spent if it went to a video ref lol. African Nations arent playing well at this tournament..

Handballs led to goals for Brazil, French ref and his assistants must have been in awe of the players on the pitch lol

Injury time winner for the USA!! man they were threatening all game, that offside call was a dodgey one but hey ya got it in the End...
US finish top of the table and face Ghana in the 2nd round, Germany and England face off also!! Bet they werent expecting that one to happen so early!!
Aussie beat Serbia and ended their World Cup hopes.. Good win for the Aussies

Great stuff to see USA go through even though it cost England top spot. They will beat Ghana IMO, they are rubbish. Haven't scored a goal from open play yet for fucks sake.
Very proud with our lads beating Serbia last night too.
