Day 8

21. Serbia vs. Germany- 1-0 Serbia

This game was much like the Nigeria game yesterday with a red card pretty much deciding the game. The referee was the star of the game giving yellow cards left and right and finally a red card to Klose dealing a big blow to Germany as Serbia scored right after the card. From that point on it was Germany creating the chances and even had a penalty, but Podolski's shot was saved and as much as they tried Germany could't fight back from behind with 10 men. This now opens the group up and puts pressure on the Ghana vs. Australia game tomorrow. If Australia win the group will be all even with 3 points but if Ghana win they will be in the driver's seat with 6 points, should be a good one.

22. Slovenia vs. USA- 2-2

This game followed along with the one before it as the referee ended up deciding how the points would be divided. The US came out and again with a defensive brain fart they went down 1-0 and then again poor defending let them down and it was 2-0 at the half. It looked like the tournament was almost over for the US, but Landon Donovan came back and scored a quick goal in the second half giving the US hope. They pushed and pushed until Michael Bradley stuck one in the back of the net tying it at two and with enough time to get a third, which they did. BUt for some reason it did not count as the referee blew Edu's goal off for no apparent reason leaving the US frustrated and confused, but with still hope of advancing.

23. England vs. Algeria- 0-0

Well I guess you have to say the game is played on the field not on paper because England's superior skill should have come out on top. But in the end Algeria looked the better side throughout creating more chances and coming close. England now with another disappointing loss will face Slovenia in their final game to determine their fate. This game really opened the group up with Slovenia in first with 4 points followed by the US with 2 and England with 2 then Algeria with 1. Anyone can still advance and it will come down to the last set of games. England better how they perform better next time otherwise it will be a huge disappointment for a soccer crazed nation, it would be kinda funny though.
