How so? If England wins that gives them 4 points at the top of the group with Slovenia then USA third. An England tie puts Slovenia at 4 with England, USA second at 2 each. Where is the advantage in an England win?
I was rooting for England to win out, maybe my bias betraying me. If England had won, Algeria would be out, and England at the top of Group C. England plays Slovenia next and with a win, and a U.S. win against Algeria, both England, first, and the U.S. second, make it to the elimination round.
I see now that after this tie, the US is in a position of win and in, regardless of the other game. This seems the more favorable position for the US. I must have overlooked this earlier.
