Pre-game: USA vs Algeria (23 Jun 2010)Match Details
USA-Algeria, Group C, Tshwane/Pretoria, Wednesday 23 June, 16.00 (local time)

Why Algeria would win?

Algeria is desperate and they are at the bottom of the standing. This team should play relaxed, free on the field. This is one of those teams you wouldn’t want to play with. This team can still make it and all they need to have that shot is to win this game. Expect this team to push on the game.

Why USA would win?

USA has gotten stronger through the years and they have tied their first two games against England and Slovenia. I believe they should have won against Slovenia if it wasn’t for a missed referee call.

Key Takeaway

This is a must win for USA and they can make history today by winning against Algeria and getting on top of the standings. Expect USA to flourish once more in this game.

Match & Result: Slovenia vs England (23 Jun 2010)Winner: England
Score: Slovenia(0) vs England(1)
23′ DEFOE (England)

Recap

From the match kick-off England was determined to move to the next round as they played with cohesion, aggressiveness I have not seen in their previous games. Whoever shoots the ball to the goal players quickly run towards the goal hoping that the goalkeeper fumbles and they get their chance to score.

England has been consistent throughout the game pushing, controlling possession, and shooting at the goal one after the other.

Key Takeaway

For the last 52 years, England has made it to the next round and this team was about to make history for failing to move to the last 16. England played like it was the championship game and they were paid off handsomely with a win.

Slovenia-England, Group C, Nelson Mandela Bay/Port Elizabeth, Wednesday 23 June, 16.00 (local time)

Why England would win?

England doesn’t want to go down in history as the team that failed to reach the next round after 52 years of successful run. England still has the best players on the field and as long as they can play as a team, they can easily win this game.

Why Slovenia would win?

Slovenia is enjoying one of their best run FIFA World Cup campaigns and they are now on top of group C. Expect these guys to be fueled by success and they will fight for this game to ensure they would finish on top.

Key Takeaway

England needs to put their differences away and avoid a first round exit. Steven Gerrard and John Terry who are the most senior members of this team needs to put their guys together and get this win.

Slovenia is going to capitalize on their recent success and they are inspired to continue the run against England.

Second-half – underway

Half-time – no goals scored and defense of both teams are holding on. Goalkeeper of Greece has put up so many save. How many more can he save?

1st Half

Greece is making Argentina setup play while they focus on building a stonewall defense. When the right counter attack comes, Greece pushes the ball quickly.

This was a strong game for Argentina and Greece. Argentina was a beauty to watch with Lionel Messi moving and weaving around defenders.
