An Arizona restaurant is serving up lion burgers in an attempt to give customers the ultimate South African World Cup experience. Ok, then.

Former US President Bill Clinton is watching match.
First 20 minutes,US is not so good,Algeria missed an absolute goal.When I write my post,US scored a goal but disallowed.

I can't believe there isn't an easy way to watch the match online. I followed the link you provided and it tells me I don't qualify for ESPN3. Not cool.

Instead, I'm stuck listening to some fool with a crazy Irish accent that I can't understand. :-(

Dempsey and Donovan missed two incredible goals.US is overhand after 25 min. and playing well.
After England scored 1-0,US intensified to press,but,one thing,Algeria's contra-attacks are very dangerous.

This is a nail biter of a game, especially since England is so far winning theirs.

Plus you gave me another reason to avoid Arizona.

First Halves;

USA 0 - Algeria 0
England 1 - Slovenia 0

I'm watching both matches.
Although nobody knows what happens in Second Halves,but,as far as I see,England is conditioned to win and can beat Slovenia.
In that case,US must win,otherwise can not go on Second Round.In first half,US was overhand and missed absolute goals.
My prediction,US will beat Algeria.
