Yes. Actually, if the Americans tie Algeria, then they (Slovenia and England) would advance if the Brits win.
Algeria can advance if they beat the US, and Slovenia wins or ties England
USA can advance with a win, or if they tie and England Loses or ties, or if both lose by the same score.
England can advance with a win. If the USA loses, then they need to lose by a lower goal differential, or tie to advance. If the Americans win, they need to win.
Slovenia will advance if they get a tie or better and can advance if they lose and the Americans draw or lose as well.
