World Cup 2010: Group stage permutations

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...10/8753285.stm

Group C: Slovenia will qualify if they draw against England, although if they lose, they will still go through as long as the United States and Algeria draw. England have to win to stand a chance of topping the group but if both they and the US draw their respective games, England would need to score two goals more than the US (eg 2-2 as opposed to 0-0) just to stand a chance through the drawing of lots. Three goals better in those final draws would send England through on the number of goals scored overall. Algeria are certain to go through if they beat the US by two clear goals.
