WC -England vs Algeria (Fri 2:30 ET, ESPN2)

[BB73]

On ESPN2 due to the US Open golf.

Refer to the USA-Slovenia thread for a list of scenarios which define the chances of the USA advancing, depending on Friday's games and the remaining pair of games.

Zeros after 30...it would be messed up if Slovenia still leads the group with 4 points after this game, with the US and England both with 2. Long shot to stay a draw, but it would make for a final day nonetheless.

 

[Jake]

A scoreless draw would put us second in our group, +2 goals over England. Wouldn't be a bad result at all.

We're halfway there.

 

[Bucklion]

Nils at the half...this result would be CRAZY and might make this one of the most amazing days in group play history.

 

[AKAK]

hmmm....

I'm not saying anything...

 

[Bucklion]

This Belhadj dude looks like a beast...

 

[Bucklion]

So which is worse, giving up a limp dick goal to draw 1-1 with us, or failing to score against Algeria?

 

[Bucklion]

ALGERIA BEATS, STUNS ENGLAND 0-0

 

[Tonyank]

wtf was that........

 

[Buckeye513]

England sucks.

 

[Jake]

A scoreless draw! Lots of pissed off Englishmen out there.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Greatest victory in Algerian soccer history!

 

[AKAK]

Huh...

Yeah...

Weird day.

 

[Bucklion]

I wouldn't want to be roaming the streets of London over the next 5 hours or so...

 

[Bucklion]

Huh...

Yeah...

Weird day.

Understatement of World Cup history.
