So I'm not sure what sort of precedent there is for match-fixing at the World Cup but that match was fixed.[Edited on 6-18-2010 by Tyles]

Just watched the game on replay, terrible call but in a game full of bad calls.

Algeria have defended England really well, but they've not generated a lot of scoring chances. England should be able to get a goal here late -- a goal by Algeria is almost unimaginable.

Algeria are clearly content with the tie. They must like their chances against the USA.

Ha, Beckham is pissed.Algeria are clearly content with the tie. They must like their chances against the USA.

I guess that means the US definitely goes through with a win, no matter what. And a draw could get them through, I s'pose, although they certainly can't count on that.

Well, I think they just mostly really didn't like their chances against England. They did go forward/keep possession a decent amount, but I don't think they really have a particularly good goal scorer to get on the end of chances. Obviously, I'm still terrified that they'll find one by Wednesday. But maybe the fact that they'll really have to bomb forward and look for goals against the US could play into our hands. Or, you know. The opposite of that. Either way.I guess that means the US definitely goes through with a win, no matter what. And a draw could get them through, I s'pose, although they certainly can't count on that.

Yes, the match with Algeria is truly terrifying. We still would go through with a tie if England tie Slovenia without closing our +2 edge in goals scored.

We just need to win, and not worry about what happens with anyone else.

Well thank god england tied though. Since both teams go at the same time, Slovenia is much more inclined to play hard for the tie/win to clinch it.

Wouldn't the U.S. also advance if we lost to Algeria and England loses to Slovenia without scoring 2 more goals than the U.S.?

The Azzuri really are living up to their reputation as world class floppers.

In reality, this is all likely setting up for Italy to oust the Dutch on penalties in the round of 16.
