U.S. draws England, Algeria, Slovenia in Group C

Posted on 04 December 2009 by ASN Staff

The U.S. Men’s National Team was placed in Group C with England, Algeria and Slovenia in today’s World Cup draw in Capetown, South Africa. The allocation is a fortunate one for the Yanks, who face quite possibly the easiest of the eight groups. Pressure will be on Bob Bradley’s side to advance to the elimination round–perhaps even as group winners.

What this means for the schedule: The U.S. opens play Saturday, June 12 at Rustenberg against England, then faces Slovenia the following Friday, June 18 at Johannesburg before concluding the group stage on Wednesday, June 23 at Pretoria against Algeria.

I am really liking the United States' chances in this group. Algeria and Slovenia should not be taken lightly however, they do not seem as hard as the Czech Republic and Ghana from the 2006 World Cup. Also, I believe England will not be an insurmountable task considering some of the recent dip in forms of some of the players in the EPL such as Lampard.

I had been told to prevent the organization altogether due to rejection. People would say to me, ‘Don’t you want to possess a normal job and also a normal family?’ I suppose that you will find advice for some people, however planned to act.
