USA are currently second in Group C after gaining creditable draws against England and Slovenia, and they know a victory over last-placed Algeria will put them into the knockout stages. The Americans are not dwelling on the disallowed goal that denied them a remarkable 3-2 fightback win over Slovenia Coach Bradley said: "On the disallowed goal, I ended up feeling badly for the team and our fans because a 3-2 comeback win would have given us a real chance of advancing and would have been something that was pretty special for everybody. The Americans have never won a FIFA World Cup match in which they have trailed, making a first goal even more critical against the Desert Foxes. Also in their thoughts will be the score of the Slovenia-England match being played at the same time. The Americans have the edge on England in terms of goals scored which can also come into the equation as to who qualifies.
Maurice Edu shared his thoughts on USA’s chances of qualifying for the Round of 16. He said: “I can’t predict the future but reaching the next phase is our objective. We’re going to take to the pitch against Algeria fully determined to get the win that would put us through to the next round . We’ve got the next few days to prepare for what is a truly crucial match.”
Algeria lost to Slovenia in their first game but then held group favorites England to a goalless draw in their second outing. Algeria are a team that has a way of getting a lot of numbers behind the ball, they are still talented going forward with some of the skill and physical abilities of key individuals. Algeria defender Madjid Bougherra has made a lasting impression in this World Cup. The robust centre-back was seemingly omnipresent on the pitch, creating an impenetrable defensive barrier that the England attack, led by an out-of-sorts Wayne Rooney, was incapable of breaching . What are Algeria’s chances of reaching the Round of 16?
“We need to do more against the United States. We’re aware that a win could see us progress from the group stage for the first time in our history. This is a match that could change our lives forever and provide us with one of the most memorable moments of our careers.”
