World Cup Day 13

Slovenia 0-1 England

England huffed and puffed again but this time with a bit more conviction and actually got their passing going albeit infrequently. They really should have been 2 up at half time as they were clearly ther better side. Nerves crept in as the game drew on and only some last ditch defending gave them the victory they craved.


USA 1-0 Algeria

Unbelievable last minute goal from Landon Donavan sees the US top the group after a dour match


Ghana 0-1 Germany

A tight game saw the Germans trying to take the initiative whilst keeping Ghana's potent counter at bay. Germany missed Klose and didnt look as threatening without the veteran striker. Ozil's superb half-volleyed goal more than made up for his early miss and gave Germany the neccessary win to top the group.


Australia 2-1 Serbia

Serbia didn't look like they had any fight in them in any of the 3 games and are deservedly knocked out. The Ossies can consider themselves unlucky.
