Been trying to figure out what the best result would be for England (aside from the fact that 2 wins from the next 2 games will do us...)

I think the draw would be the worst result, but a win either way would make things interesting...

ie..if Slovenia beat the USA, then Slovenia would be through and may ease off for the final game

If USA win, then I think it may come down to the difference in goals us and the Americans manage to put past Algeria as to who wins the group.




Let's hope we don't have to worry about it!

I think a draw would be best. That way we'd def top the group if we won our next 2. It's essential we top the group I feel.

having seen germany yesterday, we really need to top the group, so a draw would be good, with us then beating slovenia and algeria......and then usa will probably beat algeria, so

England- 7
Usa- 5
Slovenia- 4
Algeria- 0

I don't think it makes much difference between a) a one-goal USA win, or b) a Slovenia win. Either way, we should still finish top. In some ways I'd rather Slovenia won, then it's totally in our hands, just win the last two games.

Dunno, but if we can't beat Slovenia and Algeria and top the group, then we should just change the England badge to this:

USA will beat Slovenia surely as will we...they were shit when we beat them at a canter not long ago.

Totall agree. Shades of France 98, when we really should have avoided the Argies but for the Romania f***-up. You don't want to be playing the very best sides in the last 16.

I think I want a draw.

Then we want a couple of wins to definitely wrap up the group.

A slovenia win i reckon, meaning England will finish on 7 points if we win our remaining two games, with Slovenia on 6 in second place, a draw would put USA level with us and leaving us relying on GD to top the group if they beat Algeria, bit risky for my liking!

How would a draw put US level with us on 7 points? If we win our last two we have 7 points. If Slovenia/US draw, the most the US will end with is 5 points, making goal difference irrelevant (slovenia would finish with 2).

Face it. If England have to worry about the outcome of Slovenia Vs USA then they might as well get on the plane home now.
