Since there are a lot of England fans here help me out guys; I haven't yet seen Algeria play, what should us americans expect from them? To comment on todays matchups, I'm very let down that North Korea were beaten today after a good showing in their first match against Brazil. I was hoping they would be tough enough to sneak through to the next round. My new underdog pick is New Zealand. I'm also rooting for these countries in this years tournament Mexico, South Korea, and England. As for our side It's win and in and quite evident that if we can't beat Algeria in this situation we don't belong in the playoff stage anyway. For you english, you have the talent but you lack the cohesive play needed to win in this tournament and you know it. I'm not foolish enough to predict the ultimate champion of this tournament but I am bold enough to predict the outcome of England vs Slovenia as a 2-1 win for Slovenia they see it, they want it, all the pressure is on your side and not theirs. They have the talent and they will put you out of your misery shortly.

I believe it is meant to be the sound of those damn horns. Pretty solid approximation if you ask me.

Algeria impressed me a lot by their pace and stamina. They really ran a lot, maybe even more than North Korea. They have some good all round players, Ziani comes to mind, who reads the game well. But their condition is the best, they also have a good defender who plays in England I think, played a terrific match against us.

I'm watching tomorrows game in a pub, hopefully they win! Will be ecstatic if they pull it off.

And yeah, that BZZZZZZ is probably the sound of those damned Vuvuzela's.
Also, kind of glad South-Africa is knocked out, that way Belgium, who will maybe organize the World Cup 2018 (together with the Netherlands) will not be the first organizing team to get knocked out so early

Oy. Another rough first half for the US, but at least there were no goals against.

Another perfectly legit goal called back for the Yanks. Hopefully they can power through this in the second half.

England looks like they're back on better form. Don't look for any favors from that game.

I had to go out so missed the game apart from the last 10 mins.

At least we won and got through. With the quality of play we've had so far though I don't see us lasting too long sadly.

We won! That's great! It was certainly very entertaining!

WooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Awesome! Unbelievable game. From about to go home to winning the group in the 91st minute. Unreal. 1-0 USA with one of the most badly needed goals in US soccer history! Going to take a while to come down from that one.




Congrats to England on advancing.

Holy shit that's cutting it close for a winning goal! Was just watching some of the highlights. Some great keeping from the Algerian keeper but also some really unlucky happenings from your guys. Lots of just misses, but still some excellent playing. Dempsey is definitely a good player. And congrats to you guys as well, even though I should be cursing!

Maybe a little bit late with this one, but this takes the fucking biscuit.
The USA team and their fans must feel nothing but embarrassment when they see such ignorant headlines such as this.
