Finally!

England have won a game at the World Cup. It was far from a classic but Milner coming in for Lennon on the right was just enough to do it. He put in a great cross for Defoe to smash in and England beat Slovenia 1-0. In true sods law fashion I was actually outside having a cigarette so missed the goal.

By the sounds of things the USA V Algeria game was far more entertaining with a rightfully disallowed goal and both sides hitting the post on numerous occasions. USA sneaked ahead with a goal in the 91st minute meaning they won 1-0.

That makes the final standings in Group C;

1.USA 5pts
2. England 5pts
3. Slovenia 4pts
4. Algeria 1pts

So USA go through to the second round as group winners and England go through as runners up. They will go on to play either Germany, Ghana or Serbia in the knock out phase. I've got a nasty that means England will be playing Germany.
