Today marks the end of the round-robin portion of the World Cup. In group C the U.S. will face Algeria at 10:00 am on ESPN and at the same time over at ESPN 2 England vs. Slovenia.

Good luck Stephen!

Update: For 90 minutes Algeria and the officials were able to hold off the US and I had resigned myself to the fact that the US was out. But at 90 + 1 Donovan was at the right place at the right time and put the easy rebound into the back of the net. The U.S. and England move on as does my wager with Steve.
