Group C - England, United States, Algeria, Slovenia

[wpdavid]

Heskey been Englands best player....

.. possibly along with Johnson. Wouldn't have put money on either of those beforehand.

 

[Xuhaib]

Lampard once again gone missing in his English shirt.

Johnson sort of explicable as Yankland don't have a left winger, I suppose...

 

[Jarquis]

Carragher

 

[King Pietersen]

Still fail to see the logic behind picking a defender that isn't capable of training properly, and is almost certain to get injured at some point during a tournament like this. Jagielka would have been a FAR better option. No bias there at all.

 

[silentstriker]

Now that's a goalie...

 

[Jarquis]

Big Sol should be there obvz.
Heh-skey.

 

[silentstriker]

Haha cheating little pricks. Getting upset they can't win normally.

Can we get some enforcers NHL style in there?

 

[King Pietersen]

Robert Green WAG. Jamie Carragher GTFO.

 

[silentstriker]

So if there's a tie after the group stage on points, how do they decide the seeds?

 

[wpdavid]

Another fine performance from BF Frank in a major tournament.

 

[Jarquis]

Goal difference. (Goals scored - Goals conceeded).

 

[Xuhaib]

England lucky to be in an easy group can't see any thing more then a QF.

Seeds? Qualification will be based on goal difference. If that's the same, maybe on goals scored.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

So if there's a tie after the group stage on points, how do they decide the seeds?

first tie-breaker: goal difference (that's goals scored or, in USA's case, gifted by opposition 'keeper', minus goals conceded)
if still tied, goals scored
if still tied, head-to-head record between tied teams
if still tied, head-to-head goal difference and goals scored
finally drawing of lots.

It's a great stop, but it doesn't redeem him, because we probably wouldn't of been so stretched if we were winning. SWP and Lumpard are ****e.

Probable QF opponent is the winner of the even easier group A

 

[Jarquis]

Swp, wac.

Right on cue, SWP wastes a massive chance. Is he really a better bet than Walcott?

 

[Steulen]

Frantic game this, with England clearly the superior side but let down by poor crosses and finishing. USA really disappointing for mine.
