Group C is arguably one of the more straight forward groups in this edition of the FIFA World Cup. England and USA look the likeliest of the four to make it to the last 16 owing to their superior international pedigree. Algeria and Slovenia have the odds stacked up against them and don't seem to pose too much of a threat to either the Three Lions or the Americans.
England and USA couldn't have asked for a more convenient draw and an inability to qualify for the knockout stages from such a situation will be deemed as a national shame to say the least. The Three Lions will be gunning for 3 out of 3 from their group stage fixtures as they have the most superior and experienced bunch of players of all Group C members. England won 9 and lost just 1 out of their 10 allotted qualifying games and possessed a perfect record until they had sealed a place in South Africa 2010. A lot is expected off Fabio Capello's resurgent English team least of which is maneuvering through the group stage.
If a Group G didn't exist Group D would have really been called the ‘Group of Death'. Three time World Cup winners Germany did seem to have the upper hand at the time of the draw, but things have changed for them since then. Inspirational Captain Michael Ballack was ruled out of the World Cup along with no.1 keeper Rene Adler to send German shoulders sagging down. The news of Michael Essien joining the injured list makes it appear that there is some voodoo magic affecting this accursed Group, throwing it wide open.
