Pre Slovenia match pictures and what England need to do

Here's the "low down". England win they progress to the next round. Whether they finish top or second will depend on the result of the USA v Algeria game. If USA and Algeria draw and England v Slovenia is a draw England can progress if they score at least 3 more goals than USA on the day. E.g. Eng 3 v Slo 3 and USA 0 v Alg 0. In the event of 2 more goals on the day compared to USA, I believe the team which progresses out of USA and England will be decided by a "lucky draw" tombola style. So 3-0 at half time to England please.....

2010 World Cup Draw

So England will play USA (12/6/10) Rustenburg, Algeria (18/6/10) Cape Town and Slovenia (23/6/10) Nelson Mandela Bay/Port Elizabeth in Group C at the World Cup in South Africa.

Assuming England top Group C they will play the runners up of Group D, which could be Germany, Australia, Ghana or Serbia. After that England would play the winners of Group A or runner up of Group B, which is where the likes of France and Argentina are......

England 2 v Slovenia 1

They say that iffy penalty decisions even themselves out over a season, well not wanting to tempt fate but Wayne Rooney's penalty decission was poor at best. Indeed before that Robert Green was lucky not to be spotted handling the ball outside his area. On a positive note Defoe cannot seem to stop scoring and is the hot team selection talking point before the Croatia game. Surely he must start the game!
