Obviously we got effed in the a, and I'm pissed like you, and not to play Slovenian advocate here, but... did Onyewu get away with what should have yielded a PK in the first half?

Donovan said the refs never told them what the call was.

I still like their chances. Bury Algeria and hope the vaunted English squad does the same to Slovenia.

Anyway, Donovan sorta reminds me of Ross the Intern.

I get a sneaking suspicion that the US just isnt the "bury the other team" type.

I could be way off base here though.

There's still a very good chance of the US advancing. They have to beat Algeria, who is the weakest team in the group right?

If the US wins by 2 goals they're definitely in. If they win by one goal and England and Slovenia tie then I have no idea what happens cause the Goal Differential would be the same, and there's a good chance the actual goals scored would be the same, too.

So here's a scenario i'd be curious about.

Let's say England and Slovenia tie 2-2.
The US and England both beat Algeria 1-0.

That'd make all three teams 1-0-2 with 5 goals and an identical goal differential. So how would such a tie be decided?
