I don't see Algeria being a problem. It's Slovenia and their compact defense that worries me. Granted I've seen the US much more than you so you can just believe me when I say I'm right.
And I was disappointed with the draw. We could have won the match by 2 or 3 goals had we finished better in the final third. I think for me the match was made to seem better than it was by the awesome atmosphere we watched it in. It was as you say "typically American" and I think you would have loved it. Especially when the majority of the pub began baiting the 6 England fans during a car commercial featuring a Camaro with a US flag chasing red coats off a field during the Revolutionary War.
A lot of the English tackling should have been carded especially the tackles by Carragher and Heskey (on Howard).
