Group C Summary – England/USA/Algeria/Slovenia
Scenario Analysis:
Here’s who advances in each of the 9 possible outcomes of this morning’s 2 matches:
USA win | USA draw | USA loss | |
ENG win | USA & ENG | ENG & SVN | ENG & SVN |
ENG draw | USA & SVN | SVN & ? | SVN & ENG |
ENG loss | USA & SVN | SVN & USA | SVN & ALG |
(?: if both games end as draws, both USA & ENG will finish with 3 points. The tiebreaker is total GF, so USA has the advantage, having scored 3 so far to ENG’s 1. It’s possible but unlikely that ENG could advance in this scenario–if they & SVN play to a high-scoring draw, e.g. 3-3, while USA plays to a low-scoring draw, e.g. 0-0.)
