Meanwhile, in England's group the Yanks take on Slovenia who beat Algeria in their opening game. Most people think nobody cares in the United States... Well, USA Today's frontpage carries a piece on today's game and reports that the USA - England game was the most watched football match in American TV history....Not bad for its 5th important sport - however, most played sport in the States. Landon Donovan talks to USA Today and says that if they lose today they are out.


Popular Slovenian daily, Delo, predicts a one nil win for Matias Kek's men. "Say, Say USA but Not Today" reads Delo's headline.


Tonnes more American fans in Ellis Park. Should be a good one. Yank win I predict. Tight game though.
