by Magdalena Rosova

Both the USA and England qualified to the final 16 of the World Cup. The USA have beaten Algeria and England won over Slovenia on Wednesday. Slovenia with 4 points ended on third place in its group. Both matches were quite close and had the same result 1-0. The United States finished as a leader of Group C, which means they are ahead of England. Exciting match between the USA and Algeria was rich on chances. Both sides played good game, but the USA's goal sank Algeria. The USA's player Landon Donovon scored in the second minute of injury time. In spite of the fact that the United States were favorites of the match, Algerian players gave them some scares. England can thanks ! to its player Jermain Defoe who scored in a first half of the match. The win put England over to the last 16 of the World Cup. England clearly dominated the game. However, English were not able to increase the score any more, even though Defoe had some more goal chances. Slovenian couch Matjaz Kek said Slovenia team had played great, but had not had luck it had deserved. Although for Kek the loss was a big disappointment, he was proud of his team. Slovenia would continue if USA had not won over Algeria. But USA did and that pushed it on the top of group C. Slovenian players have strong support back home, their fans are proud of the success and will probably wait them at the airport in Ljubljana when they come home on Saturday.
