Didim Today

Slovenian didnt try hard and didnt put effort like England did because this was England`s team worst times and they didnt take advantage of it. In an effort to boost England’s attack after only scoring one goal in the group stage coming into Wednesday’s match, coach Fabio Capello made three changes aimed at shaking up his offence.

Jermain Defoe, James Milner, and Matthew Upson started the game for England in place of Emile Heskey, Aaron Lennon, and the suspended Jamie Carragher, respectively. Some of the players try to cheat but ref wasnt that stupid and showed yellow card to english players which was nice because that is very old trick if you knowfootball that good.

Capello’s decision takinf of Rooney was perfect because he has been strugling and just needs to relax but gambles have paid off in the first half with a goal from Tottenham Hotspur’s Defoe, thanks to an assist from Milner. In the 23rd minute, Milner found Defoe in front of the net, and Defoe rifled a shot directly at Slovenian keeper Samir Handanovic. Hananovic managed to get both gloves on the ball but the shot was too hard to bring under control.

USA scoreless

The American team of coach Bob Bradley went into the locker room having played a scoreless half against Algeria. Should the scores remain unchanged, England would advance to the Round of 16 along with Slovenia. However, if the Americans can come up with a goal and secrue a win, they would join England in the knock-out round.

The USA have had two good chances on goal and even put the ball in the net, but Clint Dempsey was ruled offside in the 21st minute. Near the end of the half, Michael Bradley dribbled through the Algerian defence and managed to get a pass off to Donovon, who bounced a shot off Algerian keeper Rais Mbouli. Jozy Altidore was there for the rebound but fired over the goal.
