United States vs.
Algeria, 10AM ET
It is win and in for the
United States and after its comeback effort against
Slovenia, you have to like the
U.S. team to come through with a win today.
Algeria is the worst team in the group at this point, so we think the
U.S. will get the nod.

Slovenia vs.
England, 10AM ET
Like
France, this World Cup hasn’t gone well for
England, but it still can advance with a win over
Slovenia.
Slovenia has shown a lot of promise and has a lot to play for, but we expect a spirited effort from the English, which should get them a win.

Australia vs.
Serbia, 2:30PM ET
This is a big game for
Serbia, which can advance to the next round with a win. Advancing would be a major victory for this country, so look for it to shine against a poor
Australia team that would need a win and a lot of help to get to the next round.

Ghana vs.
Germany, 2:30PM ET
The winner moves on to the next round and
Germany is coming off a surprising loss to
Serbia, which should have been a wake up call for the group favorites. While
Ghana has a lot to play for, it will likely not have enough for the talented German squad.
