2:00pm: Group C .Pld W D L F A GD PtsSlovenia 2 1 1 0 3 2 +1 4USA 2 0 2 0 3 3 0 2England 2 0 2 0 1 1 0 2Algeria 2 0 1 1 0 1 -1 1 England go into todays game knowing they almost certainly need to win to qualify. There would need to be an absurd combination of results (both matches being drawn, but Englands draw at least three goals higher) for a draw to take us through. In the unlikely event that Englands draw was exactly two goals higher than the USAs draw, the two teams would have identical records and a level head-to-head record, so they would draw lots to see who qualified. That would be the worst outcome in football history.If England beat Slovenia then they will definitely qualify, while Slovenia know a draw will take them through and a win would guarantee top spot. The USA know that if they win they are definitely through, while a draw Ricky Rubio Jersey would probably be enough if England dont win. Algeria go into their game knowing that if they win and Slovenia win they would go through in second, and they could also finish as runners-up if England drew and they won by a couple. Simple eh?2:30pm: Capello makes three changes, but the clamour for Joe Cole to start has fallen on deaf ears. Matthew Upson comes in for the suspended Jamie Carragher, while James Milner returns to the side in place of Aaron Lennon and Jermaine Defoe replaces Emile Heskey. England keep two up front and Gerrard will operate out wide. Capello really has ignored the di senting tactical opinions; on his head be it.Slovenia are unchanged from the team that drew 2-2 with the USA. In the other game, the Americans make three changes, with Jonathan Bornstein, Maurice Edu and the wonderfully-named Hercules Gomez coming into the side. Algeria make one change.Kick-off is le s than half an hour away and Ive taken my seat amongst a gathering of England fans watching the game on a big screen in a Church hall. The following will be my reactions to the most important ninety minutes of Isaiah Rider Jr. Jersey Capellos tenure so far. The updates from the other game will be sparse, but Im sure you can cope with that.3:00pm: The venue I m watching the game in is currently le s than half full and someone at the front is blowing an annoying horn. I feel like Im over at the World Cup itself. Come on England!3:07pm: The first chance of note goes to Slovenia, long range specialist Valter Birsa firing at goal from 25 yards, but David James saves comfortably.3:09pm: England are flying into tackles all over the pitch, with Glen Johnson and Gareth Barry both lucky to avoid bookings.3:10pm: Rooney cuts in from the left and floats a cro s towards the far Malik Beasley Jersey post, but it is headed to safety by a Slovenian defender with James Milner closing in.3:15pm: England are pa sing the ball around reasonably well without threatening the Slovenian goal. The spectators where I am seem pretty subdued, although seeing as were thousands of miles away watching it on a big screen; I doubt itll affect the players. Someone should explain that to the one guy in every pub who annoys the entire room by shouting tactical advice at the TV for 90 minutes. THEY CANT HEAR YOU! If theres one of those idiots hampering your viewing experience at this point, you have my sympathy.3:16pm: England almost had a chance! Rooney plays a pa s through the legs of a defender and Lampard nearly gets onto the end of it but comes up just short.3:17pm: Were in full flow now. Rooney hits a powerful shot which is deflected wide for a corner. The resultant corner is met by the head of John Terry and the ball flashes acro s the face of goal.3:20pm: Slovenian forward Ljubiankic gets in behind the English defence, but just as hes about to shoot, Terry recovers to make a fantastic block.3:23pm: GOAL for ENGLAND! Weve made the breakthrough! Brilliant play from the recalled James Milner; beating a man out on the right and swinging a fantastic cro s into the six yard box where it is met by Jermaine Defoe. The pint-sized forward got in front of his marker to prod the ball straight at goalkeeper Handanovic, but the keeper is unable to keep it out and England have the lead.3:25pm: Frank Lampard hits a left footed shot narrowly over from the edge of the box. A second goal in the next few minutes would really put us in control.3:30pm: England are all over Slovenia and have just had a great double Ashton Hagans Jersey chance. Defoe hits a fierce drive at goal which is too hot for Handanovic to handle as he parries the shot. Rooney gets to the rebound first and squares to Gerrard who hits a side-foot shot towards the bottom corner. Handanovic got to the ball, but it squirmed out of his grasp and back towards the line, but thankfully for Slovenia their keeper recovered in time to stop it going in.3:35pm: Another great cro s from Milner, who has been Englands most effective player in the first half hour. Milner cro ses from the right and the Slovenian right-back knocks it out for a corner under pre sure from Rooney.3:40pm: Not much has happened in the past five minutes, and it has given me time to reflect on my feelings towards Mark Lawrenson. He is an incredibly frustrating commentator to listen to; knows almost nothing about anyone who doesnt play in the Premier League, rarely shows any insight whatsoever, and his jokes are terrible. I wish there was a button where I could choose to listen to the constant drone of the vuvuzelas; it would be le s painful.3:42pm: Slovenia swing a free-kick into the box which James comes and claims well under pre sure. Not much going on, Jimmy Butler Jersey the half has fizzled out in the past ten minutes.3:45pm: England go into the break 1-0 up, while in the other game the score is USA 0-0 Algeria. That combination of results is enough for England to top the group and Slovenia to join them in the Second Round, although that will all change should America score.
