I don't think it is in your hands...
If i've got my world cup knowledge right, the next tiebreaker past goal differential is goals scored.... of which the USA has more.
Techinically the USA is in 2nd at the moment.
England would need a superior result to get by the US. Either by beating Slovenia by more then the US beats Algeria, or by the US tieing or losing with an English win or tie... or by a double tie, with the english tie being like... 3-3 vs 0-0.
Really, people are talking about the US getting screwed being good for England... however in reality England got screwed too.
I mean if the US didn't get that goal stolen... Slovenia is sitting up there with 4 points... vs Englands two.
A simple win puts them in. Now however they need some help from Algeria to get in... well at least Algeria is still clinging on to hope of getting in... and Slovenia is definitly in. So they have less to play for.
