Let the knockout games to the knockout round begin.

[quote="Frayed Knot":7jv3nmv8]Let the knockout games to the knockout round begin.[/quote:7jv3nmv8] Can't watch at work. Only have a cursory interest, but can someone explain the situation in terms of what needs to happen for the USA to advance? Win and they go right? what about ties/how many goals/etc?

The Second Spitter Jun 23 2010 08:06 AM Re: U.S.-Algeria // England-Slovenia IGTs

Group C England v Slovenia, USA v Algeria Slovenia: Require only a point against England to qualify, but if USA win it is more likely that Bob Bradley's men would top the group on goal difference. If Slovenia draw 1-1 and USA win 1-0, or such a scoreline that places them with the same goals for/against, then they will have to draw lots. If USA win by more than one goal they would definitely top the group with a Slovenia draw. Slovenia can also qualify with a loss if USA and Algeria draw. Slovenia would still go through with a 1-0 defeat if Algeria win 1-0, 2-1 or 3-2. Any other Algerian win (other than on that same scale for the two teams), and Slovenia would go out. United States: Will definitely qualify if they beat Algeria and will certainly be out if they lose. They can also very likely go through with a draw if England draw too. As USA have scored more goals than England, and the match between the two sides finished level, England would have to be involved in a draw with three greater goals than USA to overtake them. If the difference is two goals (0-0, 2-2) then the teams will draw lots. England: Will definitely be through if they beat Slovenia and will top the group if USA fail to win, or win by a smaller margin. If England draw it must be in a high-scoring game, as stated above. If England draw and Algeria win then it will be Algeria and Slovenia in the second round. Algeria: Must beat USA to stand any chance. If England win by more than one goal then Algeria will go through with any victory over USA. If England win by one goal then Algeria must win by two goals, or a one-goal scoreline which leaves them with more goals scored than Slovenia.

A little googling and I finally get the magnificent bastard references JCL keeps making. Last time I just thought he was ragging on me.

There's about 30 streaming links on this website for USA v ALG http://www.freefootball.org/upcoming.php?id=a As Lampard misses an open goal

The Second Spitter Jun 23 2010 08:30 AM Re: U.S.-Algeria // England-Slovenia IGTs

Slovenian keeper with a triple save to redeem himself for his earlier gaffe.

Frayed Knot Jun 23 2010 08:52 AM Re: U.S.-Algeria // England-Slovenia IGTs

Offsides call on Dempsey that disallowed goal = total bullshit.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 23 2010 08:53 AM Re: U.S.-Algeria // England-Slovenia IGTs

That Altidore miss from 3-4 meters late in the half was rough. (Not Yakubu-missing-open-net-from-2-meters rough, but still.)

Willets Point Jun 23 2010 09:04 AM Re: U.S.-Algeria // England-Slovenia IGTs

The longer this goes on this way the more I fear a fluke goal by Algeria will decide this game.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 23 2010 09:06 AM Re: U.S.-Algeria // England-Slovenia IGTs

Yup. But if USA keeps knocking on the door like they have, they'll eventually get in.

Ashie62 Jun 23 2010 09:08 AM Re: U.S.-Algeria // England-Slovenia IGTs

So the U.S. is 40 minutes from going home. Going home due to an inept ref in the Slovenia. This is seriously fucked up.

Their letting up two goals in that game had something to do with the result.

Fat arse Rooney cracks the post.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 23 2010 09:15 AM Re: U.S.-Algeria // England-Slovenia IGTs

Dempsey does the same from nigh-point-blank range. GUH. Given a modest increase (5-10 percent) in finishing ability, this U.S. team would be up 2 goals.

The Second Spitter Jun 23 2010 09:18 AM Re: U.S.-Algeria // England-Slovenia IGTs

Has USA v ALG been a good game so far (scoreline aside)?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 23 2010 09:19 AM Re: U.S.-Algeria // England-Slovenia IGTs

More little misses in this game than a Toddlers in Tiaras marathon.

Kaita-esque dive from the Algerian right back nets Altidore a bullstink yellow.

TheOldMole Jun 23 2010 09:26 AM Re: U.S.-Algeria // England-Slovenia IGTs

How many scoring opportunities can they blow?

The Second Spitter Jun 23 2010 09:28 AM Re: U.S.-Algeria // England-Slovenia IGTs

Rooney off, Joe Cole on -- Rooney hasn't scored for England in 11 hours of international football.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 23 2010 09:28 AM Re: U.S.-Algeria // England-Slovenia IGTs

Feilhaber with a perfect cross, and Algeria's backline leaves aerial room for both Altidore and Buddle to attack. Mbochi makes another reflex save. Since the first few minutes, he's had a very good-- and lucky-- match. And this game is killing me in tiny increments.

Suck shit to Slovenia, England were playing 'keep-ball' in stoppage time, and the Slovenian players didn't give a shit.

Germany will clobber Ghana. Ghana defend like old people fornicate.

A friend of mine posted this on Facebook: "So the French lose early and face national humiliation, Britain faces Germany alone, Americans may fight them later. Hmmm, seems familiar."
