England make it - just!

That was a very nervous day!

England have this nasty habit of qualifying for the latter stages of the World Cup fnals in the most difficult way possible. They have played three games, winning only 1 and scoring only 2 goals, and yet they qualify! And surprise, surprise, we'll now meet our friends Germany in the last 16.

Today's results:
Group C:
Slovenia v England. As far as predictions are concerned, I listened to my head on this one, and thankfully got it wrong! That's one I don't mind messing up.
USA v Algeria. Only a single goal separated these two, and that was scored with pretty much the last kick of the game  - I thought it would be more one-sided, but at least I predicted the winners correctly. USA and England qualify.
Group D:
Australia v Serbia. I would have got this one right, if Serbia had not had two goals disallowed, and a perfectly good penalty turned down. 
Ghana v Germany. Another game with only a single game, and the ineviatble happened. Germany and Ghana qualify. Ghana are the only African team to qualify for the last 16.

Tomorrow's Games:

Group F: Paraguay v New Zealand, Slovakia v Italy. No messing, Paraguay and Italy both to win and qualify. The last 16 is unthinkable without Italy in there, but then people coould have said that about France until recently!
Group E: Cameroon v Netherlands, Denmark v Japan. I'm afraid Cameroon have very little chance of winning, and cannot qualify, so Netherlands should win comfortably. The other game is more difficult to call, so I'll go for the Draw. Netherlands and Japan to qualify.
