Algeria 1, -1, 0/1

Last matches: USA vs Algeria and England Vs Slovenia

Slovenia: Sitting on top of the group, Slovenia only need to draw to guarantee a spot on the round of 16. If Slovenia lose, and US draw with Algeria, even then they would go through to the next round. If Slovenia lose, and Algeria win then it would come down to the goal diferrence between Slovenia and Algeria.

Draw or Win: They go through

Loss: They depend on other results

USA: The US need to win to make sure they qualify for the next round. If they lose, they are out. If they draw then their qualification to the next round will depend on the result between England and Slovenia. If Slovenia bt England, then the US will go through with a draw. If Slovenia and England draw, then the US have a better chance of going through since they have scored more goals. However, an English win will see them go out of of the world cup.

Win: They go through

Loss: They are out

Draw: Depend on other results

England: Who would have thought that England would get themselves into this tricky situationTheir situation is very similar to the US. If they win, they are through. If they lose, they are out. If they draw, they need to have a high-scoring draw and hope that the Algeria-US match also ends in a draw and a low-scoring one at that.

Win: They go through

Loss: They are out

Draw: Depend on other results. But highly likely that they are out

Algeria:

To go through: They must WIN against the US and hope that either Slovenia beat England or Slovenia fraw England. In fact, even an English win can see Algeria go through on goal difference.

They will crash out if they lose or draw with the US. If they beat US by 1-0 and England bt Slovenia by 1-0, even then they will go out on the number of goals scored.

So a 2-0 win will keep them safe in order to go to the next round.
