This group looks more straight forward than the previous two. But there's intrigue also here. The first match - England vs USA. While you'd expect England to win this game, USA have come on leaps and bounds in recent years and that win certainly won't come easy. Even if you look at the FIFA rankings. England is 9th and the US 14th.

The favorites will probably go through here. Slovenia's and Algeria's only hope would be that they could win the match between themselves and hope for a draw in the England - USA match up.

Winner of this group will take on runner-up of group D, while the 2nd place will meet group D winners (probably Germany).
